Gregg Ward, CMC’s Summary
Focusing on the complex workplace topics such as diversity, harassment, change and leadership, I help organizations and individuals demystify and successfully "upmanage" their "people" issues. I started my professional speaking/training/facilitating career in 1984 as a specialist trainer for the NYPD. Since then I've been fortunate to serve some of the world's top organizations such as AXA-The Equitable, Booz Allen Hamilton, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Ford, Harley-Davidson, Kaiser Permanente, L3 Communications, Qualcomm, Warner Bros and the US Navy.
