Firefighter, Coach -- all about working on a team
Greg Batters shows that there is more than one way to learn, move ahead and get better at what you do. Sitting in 'the room' with The Great One is just one of his memorable experiences with people. He also counts those tough road bus trips between hockey games in the Eastern League. Adversity and challenge have helped him become a player on teams that trusts each others' lives to their mates. His insights about work, personal development and dealing with danger and the unknown can open our eyes to look at our own career and life in a new way. < read what student said about his interview >
