I was recently overwhelmed with a major threat to my business and
career. Gary's razor sharp analytical skills quickly gave structure to
a confusing mess, and allowed me to understand the situation from the
perspective of the others involved. Most importantly, with gentle,
self-effacing honesty he let me glimpse issues that were coloring my
thinking. He introduced me to two powerful and specific strategies for
thinking things through, dealing with the immediate issues, setting a
new course, and restoring my inner calm.

From 1998-2001 and then from 2002-2006, my job was to initiate, grow
and manage innovation teams addressing two vastly different business
and technical opportunities, one in the US and the other in Asia. The
challenges were overwhelming including making the case for funding,
hiring and developing people, building customer and stakeholder
relationships, and growing the leadership to make the teams
self-sustaining and successful. I was lucky to have Gary's coaching in
both these endeavors. He has an extraordinary understanding of all the
complexities that impact an organization, and deep insight into people
and what motivates them. He uses his tremendous intellect to absorb and
organize complex issues, and coaches by questioning and guiding you to
reach your own solutions and develop your own capabilities.

Gary's insight and ability to bring out the best in technologists are superb. I
saw Gary, time and again, build an entire team and lead them to create
innovations that were both cutting-edge and practical. His background in high
tech, his success leading innovative teams, and his sensitivity to the issues of
turning innovation into products and solutions makes him an ideal coach or consultant for technologists, managers, and companies seeking to bring out the best in their
organizations.

I have had a life rich with education, friendship, life experience,
international travel and relationships, therapy and support of all
sorts; but it took Gary's coaching to help me put all the pieces
together in a way that I can use everyday to accomplish my goals and be
my best self.
