As a former division officer in the Marine Corps, Garret has seen the challenges of leading an organization when the workforce is disengaged or unable to “show up;” He’s also witnessed the tremendous joy and excitement when everyone is contributing their best effort, showing up fully, and providing the best of themselves to the mission.
In 2017, Garret began a mentorship with “America’s #1 Success Coach,” Jack Canfield (co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series & #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Success Principles). As one of the world’s preeminent human potential trainers, Jack’s personal mentorship was a vital ingredient in helping Garret hone his skill for delivering transformational workshops in an engaging, experiential way.
Inspired during his coursework in the Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology (CAPP) program at The Flourishing Center, Garret has become fascinated with learning how to take the wisdom of Positive Psychology and the science of human flourishing and find ways to apply the principles in “real life” to affect real change. Since earning his CAPP certification, Garret has invested hundreds of hours distilling the science into actionable steps that help people get from where they are to where they want to be in life and at work.
