Biography

Dr. Gary Crotaz is an executive coach, speaker, podcaster, and author specialising in leadership. He coined the term The Unlock Moment: a rare moment of complete clarity, not about doing, but about knowing. That knowing becomes the foundation of “leadership aplomb”, the composure, confidence, and presence that others instinctively trust.

He works with CEOs and C-suite leaders around the world at moments of real consequence. His clients are already successful and come to him when they want to move from achievement to mastery, when judgement, identity, and how they show up as leaders matter as much as results.

Dr. Gary Crotaz hosts The Unlock Moment podcast, which has been downloaded in 140 countries, and speaks globally on leadership mastery and high-performance culture. Alongside his coaching, he advises a small number of organisations on leadership, governance, and operating model challenges during periods of growth and transformation.

He is the author of The IDEA Mindset (Henley Business School Coaching Book of the Year) and the forthcoming The Unlock Moment: From Success to Leadership Mastery. He is also a member of the New York-based 100 Coaches Agency.
