About Greg Arthur![]() Greg always knew he was different. This scared him. All he wanted was to fit in; to be like all the other boys. Slowly he began to realise that everyone is different and therefore have this in common. Many also fear this uniqueness and are not alone in this either. He also knew he wanted to make a difference. He always read the newspaper and was intrigued by what goes on in the world and how people react to it. In fact, this still intrigues him. People are fascinating to Greg in that they are full of surprises and they all sit with so much potential but often choose to sit and complain about how poor their life experience is! What makes Greg tick? What gets him up in the morning? The thought that this world can be so much better than we’re making it and that we can all have the greatest party while fixing it up! And fix it up he does. During his eight years in corporate social investment Greg touched the lives of many people with his compassion, his willingness to listen and his humility to recognise that all people should be treated with respect. His projects were not about the buildings he helped build and fund but more about the people who would be using them. Working out what is the best solution that satisfies all people involved is something that Greg is particularly good at. He is able to take a concept and roll out the details of how to make it happen. His smile and his positive yet truthful outlook on everything captivate everyone he meets. He has a great propensity to always look at the big picture of what is happening and gets his comfort from that. There are things that Greg finds difficult and there are things that he resists. But life is about the journey and so there should always be these things otherwise what is the point? So Greg is still on the same journey he has been on all his life but now he travels the road with awareness and having fun – lots of it! |
