I had the privilege of working with Gary as my coach for just over a year. As someone new to coaching, I was initially unsure of what to expect. However, Gary’s extensive knowledge, practical tools, and insightful guidance quickly put me at ease and made me wonder why I hadn’t sought coaching earlier. His skill in navigating tough conversations and offering fresh perspectives led to a noticeable shift in my thinking.

I was struggling to find my footing both at work and at home but Gary provided me the tools to recognize where I needed to focus and helped me change my mindset to show up differently. More than anything, I appreciate the versatility of the conversation topics we have worked through involving: My Transition to Parenthood, Lack of Motivation, Mental Health, Business, Leadership , Relationships and everything in between. I would 100% recommend Gary as a coach for anyone looking to take that next step or just don’t know where to even start!

My coaching experience with Gary continues to be very valuable to me. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my time with Gary, but whatever those expectations might have been they were certainly exceeded. I found the layering of skills to be a great way to “level up” my approach to goal setting and critical thinking. Specifically, I learned to narrow my focus on what I really want from targeted areas of my life and gained some tools to help me attain those wants. I recommend coaching in general to all my colleagues and I would not hesitate to refer any of them to Gary.

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary for the past two years. Gary joined my team during a time of significant change. Many of my team members, as well as myself, receive coaching from him.

His ability to remain objective, see the larger picture and work with each individual to self-reflect, identify their options and necessary steps for their path forward is truly impressive. I am so appreciative of our partnership as we have worked to positively impact the team norms and culture.

Gary is as equally committed to helping others as he is to his own self-growth. I am in awe of his capacity for learning and incorporating new skills into his practice. He is truly dedicated to getting better every day and helping others see their potential and get better as well. Working with Gary has made me a better professional, colleague and leader. But most importantly working with Gary has made me love myself more.
