My experience with Dr. Gregory has been stellar. I have grown a great deal in a short span of time. His focus on personal strengths and resiliency is key. He has pushed me to experiment, diagnose a problem from within and without, and to reach my own conclusions. Because of this, I am not only more aware of my strengths, but also my blindspots. In times of crisis and complexity, he has optimized my learning processes by providing me with invaluable psychological and leadership tools. Overall, my experience with Dr. Gregory has inspired me to become a better entrepreneur, a better leader, a better friend, and better family member.
