Gregg Steinberg

Why would leaders of Fortune 500 companies come hear him speak? Why would top executives from all over the globe listen to him? Why would the coach of Tiger Woods call his writings-very insightful and unique?

Hailed by Golf Digest as one of the sports’ great masterminds, Dr. Gregg Steinberg is a world-renowned expert of human performance. He has authored numerous books on topics from golf psychology to parenting, to his new released “Full-Throttle” which illustrates how to supercharge your energy and performance at work. Dr. Gregg is a multitasker who speaks all around the globe, appears on television, works as a performance coach and is a award winning professor – just not all at the same time!

It all started when Gregg was a young lad competing in southern California in the local tennis tournaments. He realized then that the best players had a handle on their emotions and could rebound from bad breaks. However, the ones who played their worst did not have enough emotional control. From that realization, he went on to study performance psychology at U.C. Santa Barbara and then went to Florida State University for his masters and University of Florida for his doctorate in human performance.

Dr. Gregg has studied human performance for the past 25 years and has discovered a basic principle that is consistent across sport, academics and business: When you master your emotions you master your world. Dr. Gregg not only shares his philosophy to audiences across the globe, but also gives hands-on tools so that you can lead a more effective and happier life – Dr. Gregg wants you to thrive on the inside!

Make Purpose a Verb

Based on research with hundreds of individuals who have had a serious hardship and difficult situation, Dr. Gregg has discovered that people are much more than just resilient. Many individuals who had a serious hardship would bounce back higher than before. They transcended because of their hardship to find their purpose as an everyday occurrence. They made purpose a verb in their life and as a result, they discovered their flow and were extremely productive and happy. Purpose became their ultimate fuel of life!

Purpose can supercharge the growth of your company.This keynote will discuss how leaders, sales staff, and administrators can make purpose a verb so that you can add purpose to your everyday. More specifically, this keynote will show you how to make purpose a habit.

Dr. Gregg has developed an emotional mastery system comprised of 3 essential steps to help you make purpose a verb and take action:

• Step 1: Become Emotionally Aware of your purpose-driven state (A time you were very inspired). Everyone is unique and so are your emotions associated with your best state. You must become emotionally aware before you can control your emotions.
• Step 2: Create Notes to your purpose-driven state. Participants will learn how to individualize this state by creating images, words, and actions centered around this state.
• Step 3: Play their purpose-driven state on a Daily Routine. To push your emotions in the right direction, attendees will learn how to develop daily routines that promote their best state, time and time again. In that way, you will make purpose a verb when life gets difficult.

Key take-aways for your audience when they gain purpose as a verb include:

• Learning the true essence of failing forward and becoming better from challenging situations

Purpose Driven Toughness

Need grit, great energy, and inner peace? The secret to finding great energy every day, calmness in the chaotic storm, and confidence in the most difficult times will require you to have Purpose Driven Toughness.

Mental and emotional toughness are only part of the story and can only get you half way to your mountain top. To fulfill your destiny, you must be filled with purpose.

Purpose is the master emotion and it leads to all the key emotions that you need to be successful and happy. Most people do not think of purpose as an emotion, but it is as we say, “I have a sense of purpose, and I feel purposeful”. In my research, I discovered that people who are filled with purpose are inspired everyday, possess super-resiliency to overcome obstacles, and demonstrate the highest level of inner peace.

In this entertaining and informative keynote, I will not only tell enlightening stories of individuals who have purpose driven toughness (such as Terry Fox who walked a marathon each day across Canada with an artificial leg in order to raise money for cancer research which he called the Marathon of Hope), but I will also share key strategies to develop Purpose Driven Toughness. These strategies have been developed based upon my 30 years working with professional athletes as well as business professionals.

Key take-aways for your audience:

• Higher levels of productivity
• Less burnout
• Greater inner peace
• Greater confidence
• Greater energy
• Greater happiness
