Greg St. Jacques: Talentpreneurs

by Jeff Bond

At the core of my work is helping global business, communications, and people leaders create meaningful engagement with their teams and customers. Together with my wonderful colleagues at Chat With Leaders Media and People First Elevation Team, we deliver all-hands meeting support, content, podcasts, creative, cross-cultural training, speaker coaching, and strategic advisory solutions. We are committed to unlocking the power of inclusive storytelling, shared experiences, leadership development, and mixed media to help our clients authentically connect with their most important stakeholders.

Our core values—Partnership, Inclusion, and Empowerment—guide everything we do. By fostering strong partnerships, embracing diverse perspectives, and equipping leaders with the tools to succeed, we aim to transform the way people engage while achieving meaningful work.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my wife and three children, balancing my roles as a husband and father with my professional life in Atlanta, GA. Let's connect and explore how we can create impactful media solutions for your business.

Why does the word “recruiter” often come with a negative connotation and what do good Talentpreneurs (as you call your team members) do differently that dispels preconceived notions for someone considering a working relationship with them?
Why is empowering your team members important to them and to fulfilling your responsibilities as a leader?
You have self-proclaimed yourself as someone who has often set unrealistic goals for yourself beyond the scope of reality. What have you learned to be the downfalls of this trait as well as the areas of opportunity to coach your team members on how to be a top performer?
