"We were so happy that Greg kicked off our conference with his Keynote Presentation. He had a very humorous way of making everyone in attendance relate to his message and interacted well with the audience on and off stage. The fascinating stories and photographs that he used to chronicle his journey were well received.

What people say?

One of the most “real” motivational speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to… felt inspired by his “gimmick-free” message - it wasn’t a “to-do list” of self-improvement but a great reminder to focus on what is important as both a teacher, a parent, a member of a community. I would love to have him present to our students as well! Learned a lot from him in the photography session as well! Interesting, funny, captivating speaker!

Greg Johnson recently spoke to 300 members of the insurance industry and the audience was “blown away” by his presentation. He is an entertaining storyteller, down-to-earth, and very witty, and keeps the audience fully engaged from start to finish. His fantastic storm photos and videos captured our emotions and imaginations. Greg was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him as a keynote speaker.
