Your Expertise Got You Here.
Relational Intelligence Gets You There.

You deliver strong results. You're recognized for your expertise. Yet your organizational impact doesn't match your capability.

The gap isn't your performance. It's relational intelligence.

It's learnable. It's measurable. And it changes how you're experienced in the rooms that matter.

Hi, I'm Dr. Gary Owens

I'm an executive coach, former healthcare COO, and founder of Amplifi Executive Coaching. I work with C-suite and senior executives to develop the five dimensions of relational intelligence so their capabilities create lasting organizational influence.

Over the past 15 years, I've helped executive clients:

  • Expand strategic influence with boards and C-suite
  • Get included in conversations they were previously left out of
  • Build coalitions with less resistance and more genuine alignment
  • Position for promotions and expanded organizational scope
  • reate momentum that extends beyond their direct involvement

The Executive Influence Program develops five measurable dimensions of Relational Intelligence:

  • Relational Awareness and stakeholder positioning
  • Trust Architecture with key relationships
  • Connective Communication and genuine alignment
  • Collaborative Power without direct authority
  • Systemic Influence across organizational systems
I believe the keys to lasting change are real-world operational credibility, structured methodology, and immediate application. Let me show you how to develop the relational intelligence that turns your expertise into the organizational impact it should be creating.
Executive Influence Circular Model

Ready to expand your organizational influence?

The executives who sustain impact at senior levels are not the ones with the best analysis. They are the ones who have developed the relational intelligence to make that analysis matter.
A way that helps you build trust strategically, create genuine alignment, and mobilize others without mandate, even if your ideas haven't been gaining traction with key stakeholders.
Perhaps you've tried bringing better analysis, more data, and stronger execution but still find yourself being consulted without being included in strategic decisions.
I've seen this pattern again and again, and I know how frustrating it can feel.
But there is another way. And it's not what most people are talking about.
The executives who sustain impact at senior levels aren't the ones with the best analysis...they're the ones who've developed relational intelligence.
Develop Relational Awareness of current perception...
Define your strategic identity and positioning...
Build capabilities and apply them immediately...
This is the process I guide executives through in the Amplifi Executive Influence Program, and I'd welcome the opportunity to explore it with you in your Strategy Session.

I came into coaching thinking my execution was the problem. Gary helped me see it wasn't. My ideas were sound, but I wasn't bringing people along with me. The work we did on stakeholder positioning and how I was showing up in cross-functional conversations was a turning point. I stopped pushing for buy-in and started building it. The difference in how I'm received in senior leadership discussions has been significant.

Marcus B., Executive Director, National Bank

Gary has a way of asking the question that cuts through the noise and gets to what's actually happening. I had blind spots I didn't know existed until our work together surfaced them. His background as a COO matters because he understands the environment we operate in. This wasn't soft coaching. It was strategic, practical, and directly connected to the influence challenges I was navigating at the enterprise level.

Christopher C., C-Suite Executive, Tech Company

What I appreciated most about Gary's approach was that it was grounded in real organizational life, not theory. He pushed me in ways that were productive and direct without feeling uncomfortable. I walked away from every session with something concrete to apply. Over time, those shifts compounded. I'm leading differently, my team is responding differently, and I'm being seen differently by the people who matter most to my next chapter.

Sandra K., Clinical Leader, Healthcare System

Working with Gary shifted how I show up in rooms that matter. I came in thinking I had a performance problem. What I discovered was a relational intelligence gap. Within a few months I was being included in strategic conversations I'd previously been left out of entirely. The clarity and candid feedback Gary brings is unlike anything I'd experienced in prior coaching.

Jessica S., VP of Global Finance

Gary's coaching gave me a framework for something I'd been struggling to name for years. I knew my relationships with key stakeholders weren't where they needed to be, but I didn't know why or how to change it. The structured approach, combined with real accountability between sessions, produced shifts I could see and measure. My cross-functional partnerships are stronger, and I'm now being sought out for strategic input I wasn't getting before.

Natalie G., COO, Health System

As a physician leader, I had spent my career building clinical credibility. What Gary helped me see was that credibility alone wasn't translating into the organizational influence I needed to drive real change. His questions were precise and challenging in the best way. I left each session with a clearer picture of how I was being perceived and a concrete plan for shifting it.
