Don Grier
Empowering Leaders to Deliver Success While Building Resilient, Wellness-Focused Teams! Don instructs though practical examples how your organization can achieve sustainable success through wellness.
Project success is increasingly contingent on employee wellness. Gone are the days when a well-constructed project plan with carefully constructed metrics monitoring will suffice. You can achieve project completion by driving yourself and your team into the ground to meet tight deadlines. But rest assured, your team will leave you for greener pastures once they come for air. In today's mobile, remote, and global workforce, taking care of employee well-being and aspirations is a must, not an add-on.
Top Delivery and Project Management Professional Don Grier knows this key fact all too well. With 30 years of experience leading the most complex projects in over fourteen industries, Don learned this lesson the hard way. Unhealthy, unhappy, and driving his team relentlessly, he changed his project leadership style to save his health and take care of his people. The result was an improved bottom line with sustainable success built on employee satisfaction. His extensive experience and expertise, shared in this book, will give you the confidence to implement his strategies and lead your team to success.
Don has developed several seminars and presentations based on his Well-Led Guidelines. The guidelines, developed during his 30 years of experience, include wellness lessons from his transformation, which included losing over 100 pounds, restoring his health, and becoming a more empathetic leader. He also discusses these guidelines on a weekly podcast and blog called Change Well, available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple podcasts.
