EXECUTIVE COACHING

Benefits of an Executive Coach

When Gary took over Johnson Health Center in 2014 as the interim CEO before being appointed direct in 2015, there was no blue print for leading a struggling center. He was, however, driven on creating an environment that would bring purpose and fulfillment to employees. He wanted the Johnson Health Center to become an employer of choice by incorporating the concepts of the Impact Leadership model into the everyday practices of the center. 

As a result, Johnson Health Center became the first ever Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) to achieve the Employer of Choice recognition in 2016. In 2017, the center was named a “Great Place to Work” and in 2018, a top 10 “Emerging Small Business” in Central Virginia. In 2023 they were named non-profit of the year and in 2024, Best Large Employer in the Central Virginia community.  

As of 2024, his center had more than doubled patient access while creating leaders at all levels in a community who now views Johnson Health Center as one of the top employers in the region.

Today, Gary focuses much of his time coaching other executives on building out their own success and has enjoyed working with coaching clients in many different industries. He was selected for a best in business award for 2024 in the Best Leader/Mentor category in Central Virginia.

The Structure

Gary took steps to build out his own development plan and followed it closely along the path to both organizational and individual achievements and recognition. He now shares this experience in the form of 1:1 coaching with C-Suite executives including Chief Executive Officers.

Being a highly successful CEO for over ten years, Gary understands that executives who get to this level do not arrive there due to being ineffective. Quite the opposite, they are in the role due to successes they have enjoyed along the way. Being in a senior leadership role can be isolating due to the nature of the position. No one knows this better than Gary and he is able to come alongside the executive and be a trusted advisor whether working on specific organizational and development issues or being a sounding board in the decision-making process. Regardless, Gary offers an experienced based perspective to join executives on their leadership journey no matter where they are in their career. He especially appreciates what it means to become a CEO for the first time.

“I remember when I took over in 2014 and wishing I knew where to get a playbook for this. When I get the chance, I will make sure new leaders have access to the one I built” - Gary Campbell
