Most strategies fail at the behavior layer
I redesign that layer

About Gary

I redesign the behavioral layer of organizations.

I love what I do: help clients maneuver the line where strategy meets behavior. A hard thing to do, tackling behavioral and leadership challenges. This is where Skylake provides a key service.

I partner with people and organizations at all levels, based in the Netherlands yet I work globally often.

People who work with me say I am refreshingly creative, quick to understand the issue, proactive, reliable, collaborative, and not afraid to ask ambitious or difficult questions.

Curious to discuss how we could work together?

The Why

Skylake's leading principles

Exposure leads to learning
Effort leads to motivation
Help leads to results

Skylake dedicates its time, effort and goodness to making change tangible, powerful and unforgettable.

Change at the strategic behavioral level.

Skylake has a wonderful origin story: however the short version is that "Sky" stands for your intentions, goals, dreams, ambitions. "Lake" stands for the undercurrent, your behaviors, the unknowns. Skylake wants to help you connect those two worlds in all its complicatedness and believes it can be of great service to those who seek to improve things.

Skylake believes that the world of human interaction can be so much better. Don't you agree?
If we are truly seeking a better world, let's work at it - together.

Sometimes it's about your plan, sometimes it's about your behaviors. Most often it's about connecting them effectively.
