Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Gary Cohen of GAC Global Partners

Posted April 26, 202100:30:17

Jupiter, FL – Gary Cohen is a certified executive and leadership coach and the founder of GAC Global Partners, where he specializes in unlocking the potential in leaders. For the past 15 years, he has worked with senior and c-suite executives from SMEs to Fortune 100 companies.“Executive coaching and leadership coaching is transformational,” says Cohen, “and it's incredibly fulfilling when you can help people transform to become much better versions of themselves.”Prior to launching GAC Global Partners, Cohen led companies from the C-suite, but left his corporate career 15 years ago to pursue his burning passion to help others.According to Cohen, the most overlooked population in organizations is middle management, even though they are the biggest population and the one that really drives the day-to-day business success from the front lines.Of course, most organizations are unlikely to dedicate the financial resources to invest in one-on-one executive coaching for all middle managers. That’s why Cohen’s leadership development program called People2Profit­­TM­­, is modeled as a course, with videos, exercises to more efficiently enhance the leadership skills of middle managers. Cohen also designed a similar program that targets individuals, called CareerSurgeTM.Once clients take full responsibility for where they are today and own their situation going forward, Cohen assesses their behavioral style, motivation, emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills. Then he and his clients develop a comprehensive, tangible transformation plan.“We all need to develop leadership skills. It benefits us even if we’re not in a business environment,” says Cohen.For more information, visit www.gacglobalpartners.com
