Greg Smith

I have engaged with thousands of students, ranging in ages from 6 to 18, with keynote speeches and team-building workshops based around my life experiences, including living with cerebral palsy. The speeches that I have researched, written and delivered are tailored specifically to the needs of the organization and are written in a way to be easily relatable to the audience. Subjects that have been covered include, but are not limited to: Overcoming Adversity to Live a Dream; Bullying; Physical and Emotional Abuse; (Living with) Drug and Alcohol Addiction; Setting Goals; The Importance of Your Social Circle; etc.

Member of the inaugural writing/producing team for a weekly one-hour television show, which was available in 4 million homes around the United States and Canada. Worked individually with talents and brought ideas back to the department to make sure our content was cohesive. Developed characters and storylines for the weekly broadcast, which included formatting run sheets and giving individual talents specific instructions in a way that they could understand.

Quickly I was tasked to produce backstage promos/segments with talent, assisting them with the direction of their promo (to keep verbiage in line with the current storyline) and helped to visually "block segments”. Other tasks given to me at this time included production/editing of video packages and finding music for on-air talent and legal company usage.
