About Gary
Let’s get the embarrassingly personal stuff out of the way:
My nickname at Orangetheory Fitness is SplatMan - yeah, that begs for more details. We’ll have to talk!
I can bust out a spontaneous wicked cool air guitar solo.
While I don’t take myself too seriously, I take your work seriously.
My focus is on helping you and your organization reach your highest potential for positive, cascading impact.
In a nutshell, I teach people how to do hard stuff by first reconnecting them to what they’re already good at.
I give inspired leaders a framework for influencing change and motivating action.
I go beyond conventional strategic planning, philanthropy strategy, board retreats, and executive coaching to address the deeper challenges leaders face today.
Many of my clients come to me feeling:
Uncertain about the best way forward
Frustrated by the lack of alignment across their teams
Aware that traditional methods just aren’t cutting it anymore
Tired of chasing metrics that don’t reflect real social impact
Overwhelmed by complexity and the risks of every decision
Disconnected, sensing their perspective no longer aligns with colleagues
Worried about being seen as not having all the answers

But Hey, Don't Take My Word For It!

“What I set out to do I couldn't do alone. I didn't have the knowledge or the depth and breadth of skill to accomplish what I needed. The Hubbell team made that possible. They cared deeply about what I was trying to achieve. Therefore, it felt less about a consultant and client; it felt personal. When you've got someone that's interested in, supportive of, and caring about what you're doing, it's a very happy experience.”

“Properly framing a challenge requires leadership with an appreciation of organization behavioral dynamics. I have familiarity with a variety of framing perspectives but putting them in a broader context enabled me to lead in ways I had not done previously. The stretch was really energizing for me.”

“If you asked me for a one-word ‘check-out’ yesterday, I would have said AWESOME! My reflection on the word is that it has two meanings... Awesome, as in ‘wow, impressive’ and even ‘miraculous!!’ and...AWEsome, as in awe-inspiring and being in awe of your incredible gifts. Our time together was truly a transformative experience, and I'm re-energized to journey forth with greater clarity and new intentions. I'm eager to absorb all that you've shared. My deepest gratitude for your gracious guidance and generous spirit.”
