Hi, I’m Gary. I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m the Founder and Executive Director of InFocus. I train leaders world-wide in coaching and have been coaching clients to make more and better disciples,  develop leaders and grow churches that start healthy churches since 1988. I  co-authored Christian Coaching Essentials, Christian Coaching Excellence, and the Coaching 101 Handbook. I received the designation of Master Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation in 2018. My wife Gina and I live in Southern CA and have two young adult children, Joel and Zoe. Now that you know a little about me, let’s talk!

Here are some of the tools you can be coached through:

MEASURING YOUR SUCCESS FROM A COACHING RELATIONSHIP

You will use your “coach agreement” to assess your progress in 3 areas:

Objectives

  • What do you want to accomplish in a coach relationship?

Measures

  • How will you know when you have achieved your objective?

Gains

  • What do you want the impact to be for you and your organization? 

When you meet and surpass these expectations – then you win!

“IF” is playing off the question: “What if?”

I like to offer the challenge to my clients – “What would you do if there were no limitations, to bring God glory?”

The yellow and red represent the colors of my favorite football club since I was a schoolboy – Arsenal FC. Read more here
