Garie Dooley

Over the past 25 years Garie Dooley’s obsession with building phenomenal teams & developing legendary leaders has allowed him to make a significant, meaningful & profitable difference to countless high-performing organisations, high-profile CEOs, and high-growth start-ups.

From elite sport & global tech, telecommunications, manufacturing & media, Garie has seen, learned, refined and applied the secrets of some of the world's most successful teams. Yet he still feels like he’s only just beginning. The learning and his love of this work seems to have no end.

Garie believes that the fate of our companies, communities & careers, depend on our ability to build phenomenal teams. He believes that people love being in phenomenal teams. That they give us a meaningful pathway to connection, creativity, purpose, high-performance and belonging.

However, Garie believes we’re in danger of losing our ability to create phenomenal teams. That our bias for individual talent is blinding us to the exponential value of a phenomenal team. Which is costing us short term and will cripple us down the line. 

Garie believes we all have a responsibility to build phenomenal teams but it starts and ends with leadership. In the emerging economic climate, our focus as leaders must be on the design & development of highly connected, meaningfully engaged, purpose driven teams. Teams that hold one another to account with the REAL conversations, challenge and support each other to grow and stretch for truly remarkable results. Teams that make us feel proud to be a part of. Garie argues that phenomenal teams are still within our reach and that my purpose is to help you build them. This is the work he loves, and the work that matters the most.

Garie has always been fascinated with teams. As a young boy and later a young man, it was watching football in his hometown of Elizabeth, north of Adelaide that triggered this obsession. But it wasn't just the players that inspired him, it was the fans. They were united around a shared purpose, relentless in their pursuit of high performance, willing to stick it out through rain, hail or snow. Win or lose, they believed. It's this divine passion that still moves Garie today.

Garie has helped countless large-scale, mid-sized and not-for-profit organisations, high performing CEOs, elite sporting organisations and teams and high-growth start-ups build phenomenal teams. So, if you too are obsessed with creating long term, sustainable success and environments people love being in, then Garie Dooley is your perfect speaker.
