Gregg Brown

Owner at Change Ready Leadership

Toronto, Canada

Gregg is a Change Leadership Expert who empowers organizations to thrive in the future of work. With a career spanning 30 years, Gregg has thrived in multiple leading roles across diverse industries in the private and public sector.

With a graduate degree from the University of Leicester in the UK and as an associate member of the American Psychological Association, Gregg brings a unique blend of academic rigor and practical insights to his presentations. He also has his PMP (Project Management Professional) designation since 2006 along with a CTDP (Certified Talent Development Professional) since 2008.

He has engaged thousands of individuals in some of the world's leading organizations - at Fortune 500 companies, governments, and humanitarian organizations worldwide, equipping them with the courage and tools to dive fearlessly into the never-ending waves of change.

His ideas on change, leadership, and the future of work have been featured in prominent publications such as Forbes, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and Entrepreneur.

Gregg mentors novice entrepreneurs with the CGLCC, the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, as well as veterans and ex-military entrepreneurs with the Prince’s Trust Canada as he believes small businesses and entrepreneurs build community and create opportunities for people to express their creativity in the world.

Gregg’s career working with people, began when he was 10 years old. He sat his friends down at a chalkboard to teach them math. NOT one of his strongest subjects. Throughout his teens he taught canoeing and crafts at summer camp. He did much better there.

Surviving all that, over 30 years ago, Gregg was part of the ground breaking team that opened the first wave of Starbucks stores in Canada.

To further sharpen his skills and understand how people tick, Gregg worked with prisoners in maximum security federal penitentiaries and pioneered numerous social change programs in the community.
Jumping into the organizational world, improving how we work together and how we think, has been at the core of Gregg’s work since then. As work is where we spend most of our time!
