Creating Your FUTURE
—a retreat for gay men—
YOUR COACHES fOR CREATING YOUR FUTURE
While the path you chart will be uniquely yours, you will have ample support along the way. This retreat is developed and delivered by Peter Gandolfo and Craig Bradley, both certified executive coaches and accomplished business leaders. They are also gay men who have applied this process to their own lives as they have navigated many of the life events that men experience: finding a spouse/partner, starting over, marriage, career changes, relocating, fatherhood, protirement (the modern, active version of retirement), identity shifts, losses, and more.
Peter Gandolfo
Executive Coach
Peter Gandolfo is an ICF ACC certified executive coach. He trained with the renowned Hudson Institute in Santa Barbara, California. Coaching combines his 20+ years of professional experience in marketing, management, and consulting with his love for helping others find their own path. He's committed to creating a more diverse workforce (in all its forms) by helping leaders develop their authentic leadership styles.
His life experience informs much of his coaching work. Straight out of college, he enrolled in medical school. Three weeks in, he realized he'd spent so much time proving to himself that he could get into medical school, he’d never considered whether he wanted to be a physician! He switched to a career in business, which is a much better fit. Since then, he's always taken time to find and follow his inner “true north” when making career and life decisions, a process that’s especially important now that he's a husband and the father of two sons. All these experiences guide him in his coaching work.
Before launching Gandolfo Group—a coaching and consulting practice based in Los Angeles—he worked at the Drucker Institute, a social enterprise grounded in the management principles of Peter Drucker. He spent nine years in brand management and international marketing at Mattel, where he founded an employee resource group for LGBT employees and allies. Earlier work experience included product marketing for Ford Motor Company and advertising account management at FCB. He holds and M.B.A. in marketing and entrepreneurship from UCLA Anderson and a B.A. in Psychology and Pre-Professional Studies from the University of Notre Dame.
