Greg Bennick Biography

Greg Bennick is a team building keynote speaker who brings teams together and offers strategies for juggling a world of distractions to enhance individual performance and drive organizational success.

He is the bestselling author of "Reclaim the Moment: 7 Strategies to Build a Better Now," a keynote thought leader, a noted rare coin expert, a TEDx speaker and speaking coach, a humanitarian philanthropist, and an influencer devoted to transforming the world by inspiring personal and social change. How's that for a resumé?

Bennick launched his career as a presenter at age thirteen (yes, you read that correctly) and saw that capturing the attention of audiences brings people together. He has been known to balance a chair on his face to do just that!

As a keynote speaker, he explores new ideas that help you find solutions for the problems you face around team building. He integrates award-winning comedy, audience interaction, incredible juggling, powerful magic effects, and unbelievable mind reading into his presentations to create a visual display that helps the ideas really sink in.

A two-time humorous speaking champion, Bennick engages and inspires your audience while making them laugh. For the last three decades, Bennick has traveled the world studying what people want most, and looking at what makes solid teams work together most effectively. He's come to know that people need to matter and to feel that they are part of something meaningful.

For the last three decades, Greg has traveled the world studying what people want most. He's come to know that people need to matter and to feel that they are part of something meaningful.

“Greg takes big concepts and makes them fun and totally accessible." - Jason Silva, National Geographic’s Brain Games

When we have a shared sense of purpose and meaning from what we do, and when we know that our work matters, it is like high octane fuel for teamwork.

  • Reconnecting to our purpose and reason for doing the work we do

FAIL BETTER: Don't Be Afraid to Drop the Ball!

Lessons in what we learn about success from the process and mistakes we experience together every day

Greg Bennick is a juggler who is fascinated by gravity as a metaphor: by dropping objects he learns constantly to manage failure. What do we learn about success from seemingly constant failures? The Seattle Times called him “A juggler of objects and concepts” and went on to say, “A juggler and inspirational speaker: it'd be hard for anybody to balance such extremes, but Bennick seems to do it with grace.”

What do you learn about success from a path where the journey is filled with mistakes? For a juggler, there is no escaping gravity. Along the way Greg has learned about focus and creative courage, facing picking objects up and continuing on even when the path doesn’t seem clear. “Fail better,” a phrase often taken from Samuel Beckett’s writings about failing again and again and again, is a great image to use when connected with juggling.

Change is an inevitability, and as long as we are in the right mindset, we will be ready for anything and prepared to take action. As a juggler for almost thirty years, Greg is an expert at change: every ball flies in a different direction. How do we manage change? What perspectives to we need? Using laughter and entertainment as a vehicle, Greg delivers answers to these important questions in his incredible keynote.

Learning points include new perspectives on ‘dropping the ball’™ and failure; how to continue even in the midst of setbacks; and perspectives on the creative process itself and the peaks and valleys it brings.

Perfect for any group looking to enhance positive mental attitude among their team members

Changing the World Without Having a Clue

How to find our voice and inspire others to help make the world a better place

Want to change the world in which you work and live but aren’t sure how? Want to transform your workplace environment and implement new ideas? Learn how one line from the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” inspired a lifetime of creativity and action even amidst self-doubt. Learn about failing better, growing together, and making dreams a reality. Let's look at the roadblocks which prevent those things from happening and then blast through them.

This keynote is for those who want to leave the world better than how they found it. Greg follows up his words about WHY and HOW you can get involved with making the world a better place...with solid actions.

He is the founder of One Hundred For Haiti, a humanitarian relief and development organization focusing on supporting Haitian-led development projects around clean water and building houses. In this position he learned that listening creates every possibility for leadership and success.

Greg's ideas and creative work have been seen on ALL seven continents (a claim that very few if any other speakers can make), and in dozens of countries for tens of thousands of people.

His work globally has inspired thousands, and can do the same for your group.

Perfect for any group with a CSR focus, those interested in change and transformation, for any group inspired to help transform the lives of others for the better, non-profits, corporate social responsibility events...and also for colleges/universities
