EXECUTIVE COACHING

Our balanced approach of championing and challenging helps deepen awareness, question assumptions, and unlock perspective.

We believe leadership is the ultimate lever for positive change and value creation. Gannett.Partners offers services to individuals, investors and enterprises seeking a personalized, transformative experience in a business context. We work with driven individuals who dig deep for what they want, and focus on executives who acknowledge the inner voices that challenge us to experience and achieve more. Executive Coaching - as opposed to Advising - focuses on the soft skills and mindsets that the most effective leaders require today including cognitive agility, empathy, professional intimacy, leadership presence, resilience and effective communication. Coaching provides invaluable tools for developing high potential individuals who want to increase self-confidence, make better decisions, improve relationships and leverage their personal strengths. Together we'll spark new ways of thinking to enable you to find your own answers and help hold you accountable to the changes you want to make. GP Coaches are certified in Berkeley's Active Communicating® methodology and industry-leading Leadership Circle assessments, and affiliated with Harvard Medical School's McLean Institute of Coaching. Our proprietary Integral Resilience® (IR) methodology is an intentionally implemented, tech-enabled coaching solution designed to craft leaders who elevate company culture, employee retention and financial performance, and remain calmer and more in control. Our approach is complemented by best-in-class assessment tools that enable us to uncover key patterns of performance, including a leader’s strengths, risks, motivations, and underlying assumptions to enable transformational change. Coaching can be especially helpful in times of transition or uncertainty, and may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE depending on your situation. Sources: Proprietary Data, BetterUp, Manchester, Inc.

Advisory

OPERATING ADVISORY

We help organizations grow, improve, and transform through our unique blend of building, operating, and scaling experience. 

Gannett.Partners aligns with change-minded executives to reimagine business models, push industry boundaries and delight ever-more-demanding customers. We partner with founders and incumbents as they envision the future, create new products and businesses, and strengthen organizational muscles needed to accelerate from seed to scale and beyond. Operating Advisory can bridge periods of transition, accelerate new ventures or address ongoing gaps in your organization’s skillset. We arm our clients and companies with expertise to define fields of opportunity, create powerful brand concepts, raise capital, launch and grow products and design operational structures to own the next horizon of innovation.

OPERATING MODEL

Build an organization that can keep pace with shifting industry boundaries, rapidly evolving customer demands and technologies, and unpredictable change and disruption.

MODERN MARKETING

Forge a strong connection between brand strategy and business strategy, and quickly enhance every element of your commercial strategy to deliver top and bottom line growth.

LEADERSHIP & TALENT

Become more inspirational & effective managers, train more capable front-line employees, and groom more responsive boards & organizations to outperform your competition.

INNOVATION STRATEGY

Reimagine what you offer and how you provide it. We enable clients to create value now as they move toward a future vision, with the flexibility to adapt as scenarios change.

Training

ENTERPRISE TRAINING

We design and implement powerful learning journeys that enable change and maximize leadership development and L&D ROI.

90% of what is learned in traditional training programs is forgotten after one week — a waste of your company’s investment in L&D. But our Training + Coaching delivery method creates learning that lasts. We treat learning as a process that goes beyond the training course by focusing on the entire learning journey providing through best-in-class training, follow-up micro-learning activities, and access to 1:1 coaching sessions to reinforce essential concepts.

BEST-IN-CLASS TRAINING

Workshops, Sprints & Interactive live training facilitated by our coaches and operating partners.

MICRO LEARNING

Regularly-scheduled follow-on implementation activities to reinforce course material.

REFERENCE MATERIALS

Comprehensive guides to enable deeper engagement with training content.

FOLLOW-ON COACHING

Access to 1:1 coaching to strategize how best to activate new skills at work.

CAPITAL

Our unique DNA comes from decades of experience and a broad skill set. We partner with founders to drive breakthrough results.

Gannett.Partners invest selectively alongside leading managers, entrepreneurs, investors, and sports & entertainment talent, and collaborate with founders to consider every growth opportunity and customize programs based on each startup's strategic and organizational context. Investments focus on stage-agnostic venture deals. We are "fast followers" and seek to be small but strategic partners on the cap table. We deploy capital directly and as a limited partner.  Recent exits include Classy (to GoFundMe) and Thuzio (to Triller).

"Chris invested in my vision, delivered on all of his commitments, and most importantly, grew me as a founder, board member, product leader, and friend. Our work together resulted in our $500K seed raise, some key hires, and the signing of our first strategic partner. One of the best decisions of my life!"
