ABOUT GEHAN “G”
I’m Gehan “G” - Founder & Principal Consultant of Golden Synergy Touch, LLC!
As HR sometimes has a meh stigma attached to it, my customer-centric, personable approach to the profession (one could say I put personality into personnel 😉) has served me well as a Fractional & Project HR Consultant, and has also allowed me to incorporate strategic LinkedIn® and CliftonStrengths initiatives into various workplaces.
Part of that story is how in July 2013, I first learned about CliftonStrengths (f.k.a. StrengthsFinder) at a morning networking event an hour after I was let go from a role I’d struggled in for two years, took the assessment a week later, and changed my personal and professional life forever.
And later, I became a Certified YouMap® Coach to work with companies AND individuals seeking to enhance their development and align their personal and professional brands using the fusion of those CliftonStrengths as the foundation, along with Skills, Values, and Personality (the “Four Pillars” of the YouMap® profile)!
With over 20 years of HR experience, I've successfully partnered with employees from hourly staff to the C-suite for small and large companies including Cintas, 7-Eleven, CVS, Sara Lee and Henry Ford Health System.
Before officially establishing my LLC in 2021, I spent over a decade as a consultant while in between more “permanent” roles.” I offered temp and project-based HR solutions while also providing corporate LinkedIn® training and job seeker support. After my 5th layoff at the onset of Covid in April 2020, in not wanting to rely solely on the uncertainty of more “permanent” work, Golden Synergy Touch was born!
CLIFTONSTRENGTHS, YOUMAP®, & EDUCATION
By blending strategic insight with curiosity, encouragement, and a fresh perspective, I'll help you connect the dots between your strengths, skills, values, and personality so you can better understand where you shine and how to leverage it more intentionally.
My goal is simple: to help you connect who you are with the impact you're capable of making.
And because I’ve been there, my deep empathy for those wanting to achieve better outcomes is the driving force behind what I do, for orgs and individuals alike.
CLIFTONSTRENGTHS "TOP 5"
✨ Responsibility
✨ Futuristic
✨ Significance
✨ Activator
✨ Developer
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: I help people uncover what makes them uniquely valuable—often revealing patterns and possibilities they've overlooked in themselves.
