"Working with Whitney Greer is a life-changing experience. Whitney has an amazing ability to quickly hone in on what needs to be done and to formulate a plan for getting there. Perhaps more important, though, is that she has a way of bringing out the best in her partners and her clients, improving their game, their productivity, and making the final product better than anyone had a right to expect."

- Armin Brott, best-selling author of the Mr. Dad fatherhood series

Bio

Whitney Greer describes her career as having more twists and turns than San Francisco’s famous Lombard Street. Her multi-faceted tale of reinvention – stemming from Apple’s marketing hallways to a dozen years training spokespeople for prime time – is full of Wabi Sabi moments where a shift in perspective turned mistakes into opportunity. In her first book, Wabi-Sabi at Work, she shares her journey and offers guidance to those who want to drop the Uberleader idea of perfection and gain satisfaction from bringing their whole self to work.

Whitney has authored numerous articles on Wabi Sabi at Work, Building Professional Brand and Finding Authentic Voice. She frequently speaks to associations and organizations across the country including Women in Cable, the Public Relations Society of America, and the National Association of Women Business Owners.

A strong advocate of student advancement and a life-long learner, Whitney chaired the 2009 San Francisco Public Relations Roundtable scholarships program and serves as a writing coach for Berkeley middle school students.  After three cross-country moves, she settled in the Berkeley hills where she gains inspiration for new ventures by exploring surrounding  trails with her dog, husband, and teenage daughters.
