Our role is to partner with you as you explore, design, and implement the changes that align with both your personal values and organizational goals.

Gary Owens Speaking

Dr. Gary L. Owens, Jr., BCC, PCC

Founder, President

I'm Gary, executive coach, leadership strategist, and founder of Amplifi Coaching.

For nearly two decades, I've partnered with leaders navigating high-stakes environments, complex systems, and constant change. Before coaching, I led large divisional teams, managed multimillion-dollar operations, and made the critical decisions that come with executive leadership. That firsthand experience informs how I partner with clients today.

I work with leaders who are ready to discover their path to greater clarity, presence, and resilience. Whether you're stepping into a new role, preparing for expanded responsibilities, or navigating organizational change, my coaching creates space for you to explore what matters most, experiment with new approaches, and build capabilities that serve your unique context.

 

My background includes nearly 20 years of experience as a healthcare executive, leading strategic initiatives in fast-paced, high-pressure settings. That work deepened my understanding of what leadership truly requires: self-awareness, adaptability, and the ability to align vision with action. Today, I bring that operational insight and human-centered approach to leaders across industries.

Clients describe my style as both direct and compassionate. I believe you are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. My role isn't to fix you or provide answers, but to facilitate your self-discovery, challenge your assumptions, and partner with you as you design your own path forward. One client put it simply:

"Gary helped me see my blind spots and supported me in developing the confidence to lead authentically. His coaching created immediate impact in both my work and my life."

That's the heart of Amplifi Coaching: partnering with leaders who are ready to grow with intention, lead with integrity, and create meaningful, lasting impact through their own self-discovery.

If you're ready to explore what's possible and amplify what matters most, let's begin.
