International Speaker, Mother of 3, Grandmother of 4!

I have known Dr. Dillon for a number of years now and have always enjoyed hearing him speak whether it was to adults or to his true passion, children. Dr. Dillon is a master when it comes to connecting with children and walking them through the fundamentals and the importance of safety. His training that is created for children (with the assistance of an adult) is second to none! If you're looking for a speaker or a training for the youngsters in your life, look no further. "Grandad" is the answer!

Amb Dominic Obadiah

Nairobi | Kenya

I met Dr. Greg Dillon in 2021 in Nairobi; Kenya where I heard him speak for the first time. Though he lives in the US, he remains a gift to the world.

Many are sayers but Dr. Greg is a doer. He is passionate about being the change he wants to see in the world. He is on a mission to empower, motivate and educate.

His mesage was powerful and it still lingers in my mind. His audience stays glued to the very end of his presentation. Dr. Dillon uses his influence to create a positive impact in society.

His contrubution to mother earth is immense and I am a beneficiary of his teaching.
