Hello!
Unlock Your Maximum Leadership Potential.
I’m Dr Gary Crotaz, international keynote speaker, executive coach, author and podcaster. I coined the term ‘The Unlock Moment’ and my content has been viewed over 8 million times on TikTok.
An Unlock Moment is that flash of remarkable clarity when you suddenly know the right path ahead. Unlock Moments define us. They teach us about ourselves. And we remember them decades later.
I’m the host of The Unlock Moment podcast and I have delivered keynotes at the Bank of England, the University of Cambridge and at summer festival CarFest. Thinkers360 ranked me the #1 Global Thought Leader in Careers for 2025 and I’m a member of the prestigious New York-based 100 Coaches Agency.
The Unlock Moment is a leadership podcast about finding your purpose to shape a life you love and discover success. Downloaded in over 120 countries around the world, guests range from world-leading coaches, authors and thought-leaders to an Emmy Award-winner and a Nobel Prize-winner, a NASA astronaut and multiple Olympians.
I have coached clients in over 25 countries, including blue-chip CEOs, C-suite and senior leaders in the US, UK and Europe. I also work with ultra-high net worth (UHNW) families on family dynamics, entrepreneurship, business and charity leadership.

About me
It was twenty years ago when I decided to end my career in medicine. But it was a year before then when I knew it was going to happen.
A sudden, remarkable moment of clarity on an otherwise unremarkable day.
I call it my Unlock Moment.
My Unlock Moment was not an answer. It was not a solution. It was not a plan.
It was simply permission.
Permission to choose. Permission to change.
Permission to take control of the path ahead. Permission to find a different route to success.
Permission even to fail in that quest and to own the failure.
In pursuit of fulfilment, in pursuit of happiness, in pursuit of balance, my path has indeed been winding.
Initially into consulting, then into retail strategy, with a parallel journey as a professional ballroom dancer. And in the last few years, another new chapter as a speaker, a coach, an author and a podcaster.
But here, in simplicity, is the truth.
There are always multiple paths.
Only you can choose the one that is right for you.
