Synergistic Coach

Our mission is to develop dynamic, authentic leaders

Synergistic Coaching exemplifies our partnership as a coach with leaders to assist them in their leadership growth at a rate far more significant than if they pursue development independently.

About Us

Synergistic Coaching

We partner with leaders to achieve positive, lasting change in leadership performance and effectiveness. The leaders we coach have already reached a high level of success, and coaching is a focus “to tweak” and refine areas having the most significant impact on team and organizational success. The goal is to elevate the leader to perform at their best.
Our name, Synergistic Coaching, refers to the synergistic relationship between the coach and the leader. The coach is a sounding board and accountability partner, allowing the leader to experience more significant results than if the leader is left alone to address their goals; this is the “synergy” that coaching provides.
A development plan is created to address targeted, primary goals. New behaviors, thoughts, approaches, or skills are explored through coaching session discussions, thought-leader models, articles/books, and feedback.

Our Workshop

Learning Through Horses

“I came away chastened, sensitized and more thoughtful about interactions with people and animals. As an introvert and analytic type, I was reminded of the importance of the nonverbal cues which are so key in understanding behavior.”

“Opportunity to experience having a different lens on yourself in a totally different environment and learning about self & others (both people and horses).”

“My big after-the-fact Ah Ha is that not everything that seems unpredictable actually is (like a horse) and that I don’t necessarily need to fear unpredictability, just be aware, balanced, and ready to respond confidently and appropriately—same of horses.”

Testimonials

Hear It From Our Clients

As a coach, Gerri is a deep listener, curious, thoughtful, versatile, and very resourceful. There are a million executive coaches out there, but Gerri doesn’t follow a single methodology, as she tailors her approach to the client she’s working with. What she did with me was unique to my work environment, my specific needs, and the feedback she got from my 360 review that she did.

I honestly think that I’m sitting in this new seat that I’m in today because of meeting Gerri at the right time in my life. Gerri was laying foundations when she taught me all the things that she did about executive presence and impulse control and managing confidence and dealing with communications. That’s what increased my getting noticed, promotions, and lots of positive comments from my leadership team that I work directly with.

I really think Gerri has a lot of experience that was invaluable. I also felt like it was important for me to have someone who understood what it was like to be a physician and her experience working with physicians; and also frankly for just being married to a physician really helped. I think it would be hard for me to go to a coach who had no idea of some of the complexities of being a physician–your sense of what you’ve sworn in oath to and having a license you have to live up to.
