The CEO Hour Radio Interview
with Garold Markle
No More Employee Performance Evaluations: Catalytic Coaching Better Model - Gary Markle, CEO of Energage, says his 
coaching method can bring better results in just 5 hours a year - the CEO Hour, May 13th 2011. Garold Markle is the CEO and founder of Energage, Inc. -- a company dedicated to energizing and engaging the human spirit at work. Gary spends most of his time on a quixotic mission to rid the world of it's poorest performing personnel practice -- the performance review! Gary and his associates at Energage have personally guided more than a hundred organizations through the process of throwing out their performance evaluation systems and replacing them with Catalytic Coaching. It's a program that features no grades/labels/name calling and it breaks the illusory connection between last year's performance and this year's salary adjustment. Hear about Garold's book, Catalytic Coaching: The End of Performance Reviews on the next CEO Hour.
Clothing The Emperor
by Garold Markle
Clothing The Emperor is a call to action for executive coaches. It is particularly relevant for those that also serve as group leaders, such as Vistage chairs, TEC chairs, or CEO Global Network group leaders. It was designed for them to share it with coaching clients and should serve well to spur some deeply engaging one-to-one conversations. It describes the unique value proposition that an executive coach can utilize to attract and bond with executive coaching clients. It attempts to capture a little bit of what the author calls his “secret sauce” in becoming a Rookie TEC Chair of the Year a few years ago. It also attempts to address a gap he’s seen in speaking to more than 400 CEO groups in the US, Canada and UK over the past eleven years. The material was honed in a program conducted as TEC Canada’s first Best Practices Workshop for Chairs. Four versions of this article are provided, tailored to each of the major constituencies that the author has addressed. Select the one that best applies to you. Please enjoy and share!

Signature Story Update:
My Football Playing Son, Ten Years Later
Professional speakers are often remembered for one or two signature stories. Perhaps my most memorable anecdote is the one I tell of my son, Garrett, who at age 10, asked me to teach him to play running back for the Lassiter Junior Trojan football team. The story concludes with his successful stint – at offensive tackle. A lot has happened in the last decade. I thought loyal readers might enjoy an update on Garrett’s athletic endeavors.

Gross Reality Show
Radio Interview with Gary Markle
On July 22, 2009 Gary Markle was interviewed on the radio program “Gross Reality” by host Steve Gross, a live broadcast on America's Web Radio. Steve is also CEO of HLB Gross Collins and founder of Business Builders Team based in Atlanta. Steve's topic of the day, Empowering Your People to Empower Your Business, gave Gary a chance to talk about Catalytic Coaching and the importance of employee development in a down market. He also asked him to speak about two of the lead articles, The Frogger Economy and When Zombies Attack, which had appeared in our newsletter in months past.
