For today’s professionals, technical brilliance opens doors — but it’s human-centric skills that build influence, prevent burnout, and create lasting success.
Gary Smart is a best-selling author, award-winning, ISA-accredited speaker, and veteran software engineer with 30+ years in the industry. His keynotes and workshops show professionals how to turn technical strength into leadership impact by mastering the human-centric skills that drive success — emotional intelligence, communication, and resilience. Audiences walk away with tools to prevent burnout, improve collaboration, and accelerate their careers with clarity and confidence.
As a certified NLP practitioner and life coach, Gary equips technical teams, founders, and high performers with practical tools to upgrade their human operating system — building emotional intelligence, authentic communication, and burnout‑resilient leadership that technical training often leaves behind.
Through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, Gary bridges deep technical expertise with human insight so audiences build resilient teams, communicate with influence, and create meaningful work‑life balance.
