Gina Gardiner & Friends with Bryan Yates on Running Is For Fugitives

About Bryan Yates If you're looking for a standard executive coach to optimize your workflow, I'm probably not the right fit. I don't come from HR or corporate theory. I come from Production. I'm a former Disney producer who coaches. That means I'm always moving you toward the version of the movie you're already playing in your head. You know the one. Not the idealized blockbuster, but the grounded reality where the dialogue is clear, the scene has purpose, and the other characters move differently because you are moving differently. I help you work backward from that vision to make it real. The Lens That Shapes My Work People don't hire me for my résumé. They hire me for how my experiences shaped the way I listen, the way I see, and the way I partner into their challenges. My capacity to do this was forged in some strange places: Working with thousands of Holocaust survivor testimonies at Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation trained me to listen for what's not being said. Leading creative and technical teams at Disney taught me how to deliver complex ideas with emotional clarity. Building (and eventually ending) a boutique fitness brand taught me how to navigate the fallout when business gets personal. My actual coaching career started on the road—as a cycling coach for executive athletes. I've ridden over 100,000 miles, often pulling others through climbs they didn't think they could finish. That shows up in my work now: Pacing. Pressure. Positioning. Knowing when to push and when to recover. More importantly, it taught me to read the body language of "I can't." I've learned that "I'm fine" usually hides a very different truth. Website: https://locomotivcoaching.com
