Effective leadership in today’s private clubs requires more than operational expertise—it calls for a growth mindset, a commitment to learning, and a focus on people.
Clubs that are growing are constantly evolving—finding new and better ways to serve their members. And clubs committed to exceptional service understand that developing talent at every level is essential to long-term success.
Our executive and leadership coaching services are designed to support private club professionals in building stronger teams, navigating complex challenges, and leading with clarity and purpose—so they can create lasting value for their members and organizations.
Executive Coaching
Leadership at a higher level is about creating value, and we are dedicated to helping leaders focus their limited time on doing the right things in a manner that is sustainable.
Coach Ted Gillary’s process involves inquisitive interactions so leaders can gain insight and authentic awareness about their circumstances. His techniques afford leaders the ability to recognize and choose their path forward with the support of coaching and accountability measures in place. Leaders within Ted’s program own their successes and turn vision into reality.

- Accountability audit from COO to mid-management
- Creating and sustaining a culture of collaboration
- Achieving vision and goals through sustainable systems
