Gary Hirsch

You are here because you want something more—To be a better leader; have a better company; be more successful at work; have a better relationship or simply be at peace with yourself. Change is hard, and we often look for it outside of ourselves. Whatever you are seeking, in the words of a favorite author, “It all comes down to who you are.”

To succeed in any endeavor, we first need to know ourselves. In the business world, leaders are hired for experience and knowledge, and typically discharged for bad behavior. Relationships don’t fall apart because we lack knowledge. And reading how-to books doesn’t develop self-awareness. To succeed in any of these settings, you need an unbiased view of things and a deeper awareness of who you are. As one of my clients said when asked why he shows up for our coaching sessions: “I come to Gary to get the 10% of the truth no one else will tell me!”

With more than 5,000 hours coaching executives, up and comers, business owners and ordinary folks looking for fulfillment and significance, I’ve learned that every coaching situation is unique. You won’t find pre-packaged coaching programs here. Rather, you are our coaching program—your aspirations, dreams, desires, fears and obstacles. We develop a coaching agenda and agree on areas of accountability based specifically on what you want to accomplish.

Expect to be challenged. Expect difficult questions. Expect accountability. And expect clarity and progress toward significance.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds including manufacturing; engineering; government; healthcare; real estate; design; law; investing; show business and more.

Personally, I serve on two for-profit boards of directors. I have advised governors, legislators, and agency directors on policy issues and have been recognized often for excellence in sales. I also have many years of deep study in eastern philosophy and am able to bring deep spirituality into our coaching if the client wishes to do so.
