Are you successful in leadership … but somehow feel something’s missing?

I’m Dr Gary Crotaz, podcaster, speaker, executive coach, and author on the topic of leadership. I coined the term “The Unlock Moment”.

An Unlock Moment is a rare moment of complete clarity: not about doing, but about knowing. That deep knowing becomes the foundation of what I call “leadership aplomb” … the composure, confidence, and presence others instinctively trust.

I host The Unlock Moment leadership podcast, downloaded in 130 countries, and deliver keynotes on high-performance culture and leadership mastery. Speaking clients include The Bank of England, Trustpilot, the University of Cambridge, University College London and summer festival CarFest.

I’ve coached senior leaders in over 25 countries, including CEOs of multinational businesses, leaders with $1bn+ sales targets and partners in professional services firms. My typical client is already successful and looking for a supportive and challenging coach to help them get to the next level of leadership mastery. I’m honoured to be recognised as a member of the prestigious New York-based 100 Coaches Agency.

I also support a select number of high-profile organisations with leadership, governance and operating model advisory support, typically where structural and cultural challenges intersect and the organisation is going through accelerated growth, change or transformation. I bring extensive experience over more than 15 years of advising in this space.

My first book, The IDEA Mindset, was published in 2022. My new book, The Unlock Moment: From Success to Leadership Mastery, will be published in 2026.
