Work Life Balance Speaker Gary Kunath Delivers Happiness is Calling Session to Greystar

The Greystar Story

Back in 1993, when Founder, Chairman, and CEO Bob Faith set out to build Greystar, he saw a highly fragmented multifamily industry that was more focused on assets than people. He envisioned the need for an industry leader, a blue-chip company that operated with the highest integrity and character in delivering world-class services to residents, property owners and investors in multifamily real estate. He said, “Why not us? Let’s go be that company.” With a winning strategy and a focus on people, Greystar set out to meet that need — guided by the mission of enriching the lives we touch by doing things the right way.

Greystar has learned what’s important to people when it comes to a place to call home and the services that enhance the living experience. And that’s why we put our heart and soul into providing beautiful living environments. We’re thankful for this privilege and take deep pride in knowing that our homes are a place where residents celebrate life’s important moments with friends and family.

We’ve also put our heart and soul into building our company by hiring the best people in the business.

“Our core values and our people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Bob. “Though times and technology may change, it all comes back to people, and it’s our people who’ve made Greystar the global multifamily housing leader.”

Gary Kunath delivered a 2 hour session in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 1-24-19 on the topic of “Happiness Is Calling…Energizing People For Peak Performance” for their leaders in the Central Region. Greystar is a company that truly values its’ people. This was a tremendous success.

Here is a note he received from their Director after the session:

“Gary, You were beyond incredible and the talk of the evening! I will speak for my entire team; we thoroughly enjoyed your session and the “life worth” lessons you left us with. I plan to share this message and your information with as many people that will listen. I ordered extra books that I plan to send to our executive leaders and share the impact you had on Greystar Minneapolis.

Lastly, I wanted to share with the impact you made on me personally…I wrote my thank you to my daughter and gave her the card last night and let’s just say it made a “memorable experience”.

I must say that that was one of many that people shared with me. Amazingly companies are now starting to actively address the issue of “Work – Life Balance” and focusing on recognizing that you can no longer ignore that people come to work and are overwhelmed with the complexities of their own lives.

“We cannot ignore the deep realities of human existence. We cannot ignore that people carry spiritual questions and quests into their work; we cannot pretend that emotions are not part of our work lives; or pretend we don’t have families, or health crises, or deep worries. In essence, we take the complexity of human life and organize it away.”

The very best leaders know that the secret to being a great leader is not in becoming more powerful but in becoming more human…it is feelings and emotions that drive innovation, productivity and loyalty.

This session at Greystar changed lives. That is why I am so passionate about sharing with people how they can have the best life possible!!!
