Greg "Boss" Wooldridge  

Former Commanding Officer of the Blue Angels

Greg “Boss” Wooldridge was first selected because of his demonstrated ability to build teams where communication, trust and teamwork took precedence over rank and status, Wooldridge’s heart-driven approach proved a perfect match for the Blue Angel’s culture of excellence, and he was called back to lead two more teams through times of difficult transition. Since his success with the Blues, Wooldridge has been inspired to share his methods in order to empower individuals and teams on their journey toward High Performance.

From the very start of Wooldridge’s career in the Navy, Wooldridge was immersed in the building of great teams.

In flight candidate school he learned from the camaraderie of his class, an emotion that elevated individuals by first elevating the performance of the team. Later, acting as a commander of a carrier squadron, Wooldridge discovered that teams which drive toward something greater than themselves unlock an ability to perform at extreme levels.

And finally, when he was selected as the commanding officer of the Blue Angels, The Navy’s—and the world’s—premiere flight demonstration squadron, Greg Wooldridge experienced what it was like to take one’s dreams and beliefs on an upward spiral, into the beyond.

Wooldridge’s one of a kind experience resonates with audiences of any size, background or culture. From leaders searching for an inspiring “how to” approach, to full scale corporate engagements, Boss simultaneously creates that “spark” with his from the cockpit, and fans it into flames by providing the nuts and bolts of Blue Angel methodology
