Healthy things grow, growing things change. It’s the nature of life and business. In the midst of that growth and change rapids occur, just like in a river.
WHY IT MATTERS
There are three unique elements that create rapids: Pressure, Obstacles and Terrain Change. Those same three appear with force in our work environments today. They can crush us or create an adventure. Staying in the raft and navigating the difficulties takes skill, teamwork, and perspective. Bringing an Owner’s Mindset to such challenges requires intentionality.
There are two aspects to the river: Above and below the surface. The same is true with us. What’s going on around us and what’s transpiring inside of us, when growth and change are disrupting our lives? This message will offer discernment for addressing both and explain why understanding the difference is crucial.
At the heart of this message is “I LOVE OBSTACLES“. An Ownership Mindset doesn’t look to avoid or remove pressure, obstacles or terrain change; it looks to benefit from them!
With enthusiastic wit and wisdom, Greg brings alive the white water experience with his raft on stage with him. The river is just like work. It continually flows with unforeseen treachery and offers new challenges daily.
Adding to the fun and engagement, he gives away the raft at the end of the message.

Trust is the foundation for every relationship. Some people start off naturally trusting while others require it to be earned. Without it, time is wasted and the wrong problems are solved.
WHY IT MATTERS
How do you decide to trust someone or not? In business, it’s not an either/or proposition. We trust our colleagues, supervisors and subordinates in varying degrees, from thin to thick. The thicker the better
An Ownership Mindset enables individuals to engage in conversations that cause the evolution of trust to progress. Using the filters of Care, Commitment & Competence, trust can be built into a strong foundation.

Everyone has weaknesses. Everyone has strengths. Confidence is attached to neither.
WHY IT MATTERS
Insecurity attaches to our weaknesses and torments us with the motto “You’re Not Enough.” It’s never discussed in business settings but is at play in almost every situation. It hinders communication, vision, decision-making, risk-taking, and forward progress. Greg uses his story of climbing a 14’er in Colorado, Mt. Yale, as the analogy for extracting insecurities and finding confidence even where we’re deficient (areas of suckage).
An Ownership Mindset understands that confidence is the best gift we can give those we’re empowering for them to succeed. The three vital elements that combine to nurture strong confidence are Trust, Humility & Belief. Choosing to trust ourselves, operate in humility, and be purposeful about our beliefs, will guide us along the journey to the peak of confidence.
Confident individuals are a business advantage. Communication is more clear. A willingness to share missteps happens sooner. Courage to attempt something new is available. Being willing to engage in hard conversations happens more frequently. Transparency in conflict is offered. Empowering others becomes more natural.
This message speaks to the heart of every person while also strengthening the connection within every team.
