Greg Bennick is the founder of One Hundred For Haiti and has been to Haiti multiple times since the earthquake to assess and document conditions there and to work to bring about transformation. Immediately after the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, Greg sailed as part of the crew of the Liberty Schooner, an all-volunteer mission that sailed from Miami to the southern coast of Haiti to bring 10,000 pounds of desperately needed medical supplies and food to the people in most dire need. The Liberty and its crew was the first independent relief boat to reach the southern coast of Haiti from the United States. Greg realized the need for ongoing involvement in terms of direct action for Haiti. The One Hundred For Haiti campaign responds to that need.

Greg is also the co-founder of The Legacy Project, a program that explores and documents social responses to trauma on a national scale to determine the lessons we can glean from the process of reconciliation and healing. He co-founded The World Leaders Project, a multi-year initiative to discuss issues related to the psychology of human violence face to face with world leaders, an initiative that led to a meeting with the President of Guyana as well as correspondence with other governments. He is the co-producer of two multi-award-winning documentaries and makes his living as a keynote speaker, presenting to groups around the world on teamwork, communication styles and techniques, and “Mastering the Unexpected: How to Thrive in the Midst of Chaos.”

Water the Bamboo: Unleash Your Potential
Friday, July 13, 9-10:30 am

Greg Bell
Author and Founder, Water the Bamboo Center for Leadership

Greg Bell, author of Water The Bamboo®: Unleashing the Potential of Teams and Individuals, is a recognized thought leader and founder of the Water the Bamboo Center for Leadership. As a student and keen observer of highly successful people and teams, he distills his findings into the Water the Bamboo methodology.

Water the Bamboo is a metaphor for individual and team success. If you water giant timber bamboo in the first year, nothing happens. In the second year, nothing happens. In the third year, nothing happens. But when you water bamboo in the fourth year, it will rocket up an astonishing 90 feet in only 60 days. Do you and your team have the kind of vision, faith, patience, persistence, and focus to achieve what you want? Those who catch the spirit and understand the principles of the bamboo farmer will see their visions suddenly explode into reality—seemingly out of nowhere.

Greg has brought the principles of Water the Bamboo to over 500 clients and tens of thousands of individuals, to transform leadership and spark much-needed change. 

Greg is a two-time Inspirational Player of the Year for the University of Oregon basketball team, successful attorney and entrepreneur, and the force behind Coaches vs. Cancer, which has raised over $50 million dollars for cancer research. Greg is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest earned designation for the National Speakers Association and International Federation of Professional Speakers. Only 10% of speakers have earned this designation. Greg founded the Water the Bamboo Center for Leadership to inspire and motivate teams to achieve their own remarkable results. He is the author of Water The Bamboo®: Unleashing the Potential of Teams and Individuals.
