We help leaders and organizations align people, purpose, and performance to create cultures that work.
who we are
Gatts Consulting provides fractional leadership development services at a fraction of the cost to organizations that aren’t large enough to justify a full-time hire.
We function as your outsourced training department by designing your leadership development strategy, creating customized curriculum, facilitating learning experiences, measuring outcomes, and providing ongoing support. Think of us as your Director of Leadership Development, just delivered fractionally.
As a certified Small Minority-Owned Business based in Virginia with 15+ years of expertise, research-backed frameworks, and a scholar-practitioner approach, we help mission-driven organizations build the leadership capabilities their strategic vision demands—at 20-30% of what a full-time hire would cost.
Our clients typically:
- Are small to mid-sized organizations
- Need consistent leadership development, but lack internal bandwidth
- Want measurable outcomes, not just training activities
- Value strategic partnership over transactional vendor relationships
We offer flexible engagement models:
- Quarterly workshops for foundational skill-building
- Monthly coaching circles for real-time application and peer learning
- Comprehensive programs blending workshops, coaching, and executive development
- Strategic partnerships with full integration into your leadership team
why choose us?
You Need the Function, Not the Full-Time Cost
Most mid-sized organizations face the same challenge: you need systematic leadership development to achieve your strategic goals, but you can’t justify hiring a full-time Director of Learning & Development at $150K+ annually.
One-off workshops create temporary awareness but no lasting change. Random training vendors deliver programs but don’t understand your culture or integrate with your strategy.
That’s where we come in.
We’re Embedded, Not External
We learn your culture, attend your meetings (as appropriate), and become part of your organizational fabric. This isn’t a project—it’s a partnership.
We’re Strategic, Not Transactional
We think about your multi-year development needs, not just the next workshop. Your strategic vision drives our curriculum design.
We Own Outcomes, Not Activities
We’re accountable for building leadership capability and measurable business results—reduced turnover, stronger team performance, better strategic execution—not just delivering sessions.
We’re Proven, Not Experimental
15+ years of expertise, proprietary frameworks (including the Six Habits of Effective Communicators™), and a track record spanning Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and mission-driven organizations.
We’re Flexible, Not Fixed
Start small, scale based on results, adjust as your needs evolve. You maintain the flexibility that a full-time hire doesn’t offer.
The Result?
You get the expertise of a seasoned Director of Leadership Development at 20-25% of the cost, with immediate impact and zero hiring risk.
We work with organizations that recognize leadership development isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in their capacity to execute strategy, retain talent, and sustain growth.
Is your organization ready to move beyond event-based training to function-based development?
