Gil Herman, President

Gil Herman is a consultant in organization effectiveness. He facilitates strategic planning, alignment, and implementation; team building and team training; multi-level and multi-disciplinary training and development; and professional leadership coaching. All these interventions incorporate highly experiential exercises and engaging dialogue that challenge participants to think deeply, act decisively, and honor personal integrity and dignity. Gil uses leading edge and traditional concepts and tools including systems thinking, change management, balanced scorecard, and outdoor team challenges. All interventions include time and a process to do action planning with accountability that ensures participants integrate and apply their learning to make a positive, measurable difference.

Gil is also the chair of three Vistage groups in the Chicago area.  Vistage, the world's largest CEO membership organization, is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and enhancing the lives of CEOs and senior executives. As a Vistage Chair, Gil facilitates monthly meetings of CEOs, Presidents, business owners and senior executives, then coaches members one-on-one in between meetings.

Further, Gil runs a group for CEOs in Transition. Members in this group were CEOs and/or owners, and are now moving into a different phase of their life. The group focuses on the transition from success to significance, rather than business operational issues.

Gil has over thirty-five years of experience working in human resource and organization development. He has worked as an internal and external practitioner in many industries including telecommunications, computer/data processing, manufacturing, insurance, finance, health care, hotel management, food services, transportation, education, and publishing. Much of his practice has included work on a global basis in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
