Greg “Boss” Wooldridge is the only commanding officer to lead The Blue Angels for three separate tours. He was first selected because of his demonstrated ability to build teams where communication, trust and teamwork took precedence over rank and status. His heart-driven approach proved a perfect match for the Blue Angel’s culture of excellence, and he was called back to lead 2 more teams through times of difficult transition. Since his success with the Blues, Greg has been inspired to share his methods in order to empower individuals and teams on their journey toward High Performance.
From the very start of his career in the Navy, Greg was immersed in the building of great teams. In flight candidate school he learned from the camaraderie of his class, an emotion that elevated individuals by first elevating the performance of the team. Later, acting as a commander of a carrier squadron, Greg discovered that teams which drive toward something greater than themselves unlock an ability to perform at extreme levels.
And finally, when he was selected as the commanding officer of the Blue Angels, The Navy’s—and the world’s—premiere flight demonstration squadron, Greg Wooldridge experienced what it was like to take one’s dreams and beliefs on an upward spiral, into the beyond.
Greg’s one of a kind experience resonates with audiences of any size, background or culture. From leaders searching for an inspiring “how to” approach, to full scale corporate engagements, Boss simultaneously creates that “spark” with his stories from the cockpit, and fans it into flames by providing the nuts and bolts of Blue Angel methodology.
Greg will take you on an incredible journey as he leads the world’s preeminent pilots, who have mastered landing on an aircraft carrier’s pitching deck at night, to a level of skill seemingly impossible to achieve; flying safely and steadily 18″ apart at 400 miles per hour.
Beginning with a culture that is founded on a sense of gratitude and trust, “Boss” will guide you through a performance-elevating framework that can be applied to any challenge. You will learn the way in which exceptional growth in team and personal performance can be achieved even though your journey, like his, may have been ‘littered with rose thorns and not rose pedals.’
Captain Wooldridge will describe the importance of setting clear expectations so that that each and every team member can achieve superior performance while realizing a purpose larger than self. The game-changer, the Glad to Be Here Debrief, will amaze with its simplicity yet powerful application.
The story will be told with award winning action videos, dynamic still shots, and the passion of someone who has had the privilege of leading the world’s foremost aerobatic flight demonstration squadron team an unprecedented three times.
