Greg Nees, Ph.D., is an author, coach, and consultant. He earned his B.A. in psychology from UCLA, worked and traveled in West Africa, and then took up residence in Europe. In Germany he worked as an English teacher, translator, and college instructor. While leading intercultural communication seminars at the Johannes Gutenberg University, he discovered the joy of promoting understanding between the different peoples of the world.
He returned to the U.S. in 1990 to complete his doctorate in communication studies. Today he works with expatriates, multicultural teams, and international organizations that want to improve their global competence. His seminars and coaching sessions focus on the interaction of culture, mind, and communication style to help his clients raise their awareness and develop the skills needed to achieve their goals.
Greg draws on his many cross-cultural experiences as well as his in-depth knowledge of many disciplines including communication studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience and more. His recent book, Connecting Hearts and Minds, presents his experiences and knowledge in a clear, systematic and integrated fashion to offer the reader the pragmatic wisdom and essential skills for thriving in today’s global village. Because this wealth of knowledge is presented in the form of case studies and true stories, it is both reader-friendly and highly inspirational.
