The Man Behind the Curtain
Brings Companies Front and Center
What obstacles are keeping your business from growing sky-high? A shaky organizational foundation? Lack of management buy-in to commit to a long-range plan?
At OZmosis Leadership, we’re in the business of building profitable, preferred places to work. We forge long-term relationships with prime movers of organizations—CEOs, presidents and business leaders. Working together, we engineer strategies that get management teams working collaboratively and effectively to create long-term, measurable change.
So say hello to the man behind the curtain of OZmosis, Gary Polain. He’s part organizational architect, part motivator, part human engineer. As The Biz Wiz from Oz, he can help you define where your company wants to go, articulate the steps to take, and motivate and make accountable the team that will get you there.
Turning Good Intentions
Into Profitable Actions
Everyone has good intentions when it comes to making lasting business change. But you know what they say about the road being paved by good intentions. At OZmosis Leadership, we’ll make you accountable to execute on your strategic intent.
It Works Because of Teamwork
Through a facilitated process, Gary Polain works with business leaders to develop and execute a strategy and teach the management team to collaborate and work together effectively.
Gary’s someone who really likes to stir the pot and get people to that slightly uncomfortable place. His gift is asking the tough questions, helping to surface what the real issues are at play. As that process unfolds, you and your team will begin to articulate and execute a solid plan for your business future.
The real magic happens over the long term, as Gary becomes your trusted advisor and coach. His special training and development programs are designed to align with the intent of the company’s strategic plan. He often consults with management teams to augment their supervisory, sales and presentation skills or coaches executives one-on-one to improve their leadership skills.
Change Begins with Commitment
You can’t expect to knock out an effective strategic plan over a weekend retreat and call it change. It takes time to get to a place as an organization that pushes your team far beyond the boundaries of where you are today.
Working with OZmosis Leadership, you can expect to invest anywhere from 18 months to 2 years. As the business leader, you’ll be expected to look Gary Polain in the eye, shake his hand and tell him that you’ll commit the time, energy, resources and team members necessary to change your business.

From Mechanical Engineer
To Human Engineer
When you first meet Gary, you’d be hard pressed to imagine him early in his career—a shy engineer trying to make his mark in sales. He was determined to be really good on his feet, to become an effective communicator and excel in sales. So he got down to work and began making changes.
Soaking in all the training and mentoring opportunities he could, Gary learned how to interact with people, how to be curious and ask the right questions and understand the customers’ needs. He literally transformed himself from mild-mannered mechanical engineer to a gregarious guru of sales and training. His own transformation became the basis for working with others as he developed what he calls his career as a human engineer.
An Inspiring Career
Gary’s work history includes sales, training and human engineering at Thomas Nationwide Transport, Priority Management and The Marketing Factory. He has a deep understanding of technical construction and mechanical systems, which helped him develop a niche working with construction and mechanical engineering executives.
Gary’s career path has taken him around the globe, from Sydney, Australia, to Bath England, to Atlanta and finally to Seattle—the Emerald City—which seems only fitting place for the Biz Wiz of Oz to land.
A Leader of Leaders
Gary’s passion for shaping business leaders extends beyond his work at OZmosis. For many years, Gary has been coaching and advising CEOs through Vistage International (formerly TEC), the world’s largest CEO membership organization. His ability to influence and inspire outward change has been essential in his role as a Group Chair.

Delivering a Message
That Speaks to People
When you take your seat at a Gary Polain presentation, what thoughts flash through your mind?
“Oh great. He works with mechanical engineers. This is going to be as dull as dishwater.”
Well if you think that Gary’s just another dry business planner, you’ve got it all wrong. There’s nothing bland about this man, ‘cause he’s the real deal.
A Dynamic Speaker
Quite literally, Gary will have you at hello. Like many Aussies, his warm and outgoing personality is absolutely infectious. Gary charms and interacts with teams and audiences to get people excited and keep them engaged.
That means no bobbing heads and no glazed looks at your event. Gary makes any subject fascinating — whether inspiring audiences to discover their unique genius or how to outsell the competition using Spin Selling techniques.
Gary attributes his effectiveness as a speaker and facilitator to his well-balanced brain—seriously. Equal parts left brain (logical) and right brain (creative), Gary has the perspective to put himself in the shoes of others.
