“Grevis’ presentation at the ACC Australia National Conference was phenomenal. Grevis spoke about a really important topic – toxic work environments and how to proactively deal with the dysfunctions that cause the toxicity to arise. Grevis has a fun and entertaining presentation style which was really great paired with the serious and important content he presented.”
