Profile
Greg Gilbert, "Mr. HR WIth A Guitar", has spoken to hundreds in the Arkansas/Texas area both as a keynote speaker and as a corporate instructor. He retired from a large corporation as the Area Manager of Human Resources. He was the primary HR contact to a work force of 900-2100 at various times for over a decade prior to retirement. His responsibilities as HR Area Manager included grievances, labor relations, arbitration, assisting with lawsuits, safety, training and compensation. He learned so much about people but the one he learned the most about was himself which was great news since that was the person he had the best chance of changing. Greg was successful in changing the role of his department from policeman to partner. His open-door policy facilitated front end involvement in lieu of damage control. Greg also developed and delivers a management training class, “Accountable Leadership And Results Management Training” or ALARMT™. This is the "World's Best Management And Life Course". This class was developed from years of personal and mentors experience. It is a must for any person in a management, supervisory or Human Resources position. If your organization has any problems with quality, quantity, safety or absence and you do not have documented performance improvement plans or employees on some level of discipline, there IS cause for ALARMT™ in your organization. His keynote “Nothing Changes Until Something Is Written!™” and ALARMT™ are loaded with real-life personal stories that will bring out many different emotions and we NEVER change anything in our life without emotion. They also address a plan for change and improvement. In 2008 Greg published his first book “If Your Baby Could Talk…Would You Listen? A Baby’s Thoughts On Raising Good Parents”. He is the survivor of raising two wonderful daughters in a sometimes hostile demographic environment of 75% female. He has been married to his best friend for more than 34 years (yes, his wife and best friend are the same person). While raising a family and climbing the corporate ladder Greg still had time to become a guitar picker, author, songwriter, poet and ex-cattle rancher that will share true stories and songs that are guaranteed to stir many emotions. When Greg writes a song he always says “If it doesn’t make you mad, sad or glad, I’ve wasted your time”. He feels the same about his keynote and management training except he wants you to experience all three emotions. Mad, you didn’t think of and implement some of these items. Sad, you may have wasted some time with the wrong priorities. Most of all he wants you to leave glad that your paths have crossed and you will take away some very valuable information that you can use in your business and personal life. |
