An Unprecedented Level of Coaching and Support

Your projects can either catapult you to a new level of success, or set you back – sometimes by millions of dollars and years of wasted effort. When I listen to you, I can hear whether your projects are headed for a blessing, or a lesson. I can hear when you are justifying behaviors that will result in a train wreck, or owning the strategies that can produce unlimited success. Within the first 2 hours, I will know where your personal power and energy are leaking…we can identify the top 3 holes in your personal success bucket. As you plug the holes where the energy is leaking, the bucket begins to fill with financial blessings. This is not exclusive to financial rewards. Would you like to enhance personal relationships? Lengthen your emotional and spiritual stride? Coaching on this level is priceless.

Percentage Coaching: For those with a business vehicle with real potential, and simply need effective coaching to get out of their own way, you have the opportunity to become a % client. Once you demonstrate a willingness to play the inner game, you are eligible. As your coach, I will assist you in significantly raising your income and receive a % of your increase. Once I accept you in this dynamic – you will get there!

Trainings: Some of the key topics we cover that are paramount to creating a successful business include: Visioning and Structure (profits follow structure), Breakthrough Sales, Communicating for Results, Team Alignment, Personal Productivity, The Power of Intention, Commitment to Results and more. Accomplishment and Success Stories Ron McMillan (Co-founder of Stephen R. Covey & Associates) was the highest rated and most successful trainer at The Covey Leadership Center. During a training for AT&T, the man in charge of 40,000 people interrupted and said, Ron, I know you're a good guy, and you have the best intentions, but I just don't think this is going to fit in our culture!. He knew he was on the brink of losing a huge contract, so with nothing to lose he used a skill he learned in our retreat called, How to Melt Your Favorite Jerk. It worked! The executive melted, and he walked out with a $6.5 million contract.

Joseph Grenny applied principles he learned at ‘The Awakening’ retreat and with his partners created, Unite Us, a non-profit organization designed to spread the work of Micro-funding around the globe. They are currently responsible for bringing 12 million people out of poverty. More Results for Gary's Clients

~ Charles Hanna was a lawyer used to making $150 an hour. A contract came up for $1,500 an hour and many large firms were bidding for it. Charles was a one man show and not likely to win the contract. He used the skills he learned in one of our trainings (The Power to Enroll) and won the contract!
~ Burt Bunnell was about to lose his business due to problems with a regulatory agency.
