Greg Stanley
With a "daytime job" at Nabisco and Cadbury, Greg spoke in his role as a cartoonist, author, and motivational speaker. Using a highly interactive slide show run from his phone, he illustrated the characteristics of typical employees. He showed the shortcomings of some and the qualities of others.
As a cartoonist, Greg has published a book, which he had available at the meeting. The title is "The Toonalution of Big Business" and Greg defines the made up word Toonalution as the evolution from a realistic, complex form to a simplistic, cartoon form.
Using the lovable Gilligan, a character virtually everyone knows, and contrasting him with MacGyver, proved to be an excellent form of illustration. Where Gilligan bumbles along, MacGyver is known as the Fixer of Problems, the Scientist, the Bomb Expert, and the Encyclopedia of Knowledge.
Greg posed the question "Do you want more from your career? What are YOU doing about it". His talk illustrated positive steps anyone can take if they want to make the transition to become a MacGyver.
