Gary De Rodriguez

As a compassionate and devoted professional, I have consulted and privately coached +11,600 people throughout top organizations worldwide. With +35 years of experience in executive leadership roles, I am a motivated and influential subject matter expert. As an internationally acclaimed coach, trainer, and speaker, I’ve been recognized for my ability to instill value and motivation in teams.

My commitment to making a positive difference in organizations and people’s lives is what drives me. Known to clients as “The People Mechanic”, I believe in people and their abilities, and I help fix what’s broken to support them in leading smooth, efficient, and meaningful lives. I love to witness growth and breakthroughs in individuals and teams to overcome long-standing issues and propel forward.

Throughout my career, my work has focused on people-centered organizational development. While businesses can copy products and services and undercut prices, the one thing that cannot be copied is their culture. I believe that investment in human equity is the differentiator between ordinary and extraordinary businesses. By educating and improving team members' lives, businesses are always rewarded with employee loyalty, innovation, brand promotion, and dedication, giving them a competitive advantage in their market. I have committed my career to transform leaders who impact and inspire their teams by realizing their human potential.

I believe in giving back to my community for similar reasons. A few of the highlights from my volunteer work include:
♦ Forming support & volunteer groups for the Holistic Aids Response Program
♦ Assisting veterans in their recovery from PTSD for the F.A.R.M. veteran group
♦ Serving as head of educational development for Wisdom for Warriors

Additionally, to increase my efforts and organizational support in blending leadership, strategy, culture, and team building, I co-authored a book alongside my fellow CEOs of Peopleistic in Australia and the UK, Humanistic Business: Profit through People with Passion and Purpose aims to show how ethical companies are succeeding as they create an environment customers want to be in, staff members want to work in, and suppliers want to engage with. As we explain in the book, doing the right thing has never been more profitable.
