Learn more about Ron →
Ron Garfield is a transformational executive leadership coach, facilitator, and organizational strategist who works with leaders and companies ready to challenge the status quo, elevate leadership capacity, and create meaningful cultural change.
His work is not formulaic. It is immersive, experiential, and intentionally designed to create real transformation, not surface-level leadership tactics. Ron specializes in coaching C-suite executives, senior leaders, founders, and high-potential leadership teams navigating growth, complexity, organizational change, and identity shifts in leadership. His coaching focuses on helping leaders develop authentic presence, emotional agility, self-awareness, courageous communication, and the ability to lead through uncertainty, discomfort, and change.
PIQue's work integrates tools such as The Predictive Index, Positive Intelligence, experiential leadership development, and executive coaching to create sustainable organizational impact.
Ron's Work Often Centers Around
- Leadership transformation and executive presence
- Team alignment and organizational cohesion
- Building coaching cultures inside organizations
- Communication, accountability, and courageous conversations
- Leadership identity and behavioral awareness
- Navigating growth, pressure, and transition
- Creating high-trust, high-performance teams
- Emotional intelligence, mental fitness, and resilience
Known for his direct, grounded, and highly relational style, Ron creates coaching environments where leaders are challenged to move beyond performance and into authenticity, clarity, and deeper impact. He believes transformational change only happens when leaders are willing to lean into discomfort, examine their internal operating systems, and lead with greater intention and humanity.
His work spans industries including entertainment, technology, finance, healthcare, education, nonprofit, and startup environments. Prior to coaching, Ron held senior executive leadership roles with globally recognized companies including Fox, Sony, Hallmark, and Fremantle. His transition into coaching began in 2014 after what he describes as a life-changing encounter with a coach at a dinner party, an experience that fundamentally shifted how he viewed leadership, performance, culture, and human potential.
Today, Ron continues to work with executives and organizations across the country, helping leaders create cultures rooted in trust, accountability, bold communication, and authentic leadership. He is also a speaker, workshop facilitator, and creator of the experiential leadership workshop: "A PIQue Experience: Active Listening, Powerful Questions & Acknowledgment."
Based in Bend, Oregon, Ron is deeply connected to the Central Oregon community and regularly gives back through mentorship, facilitation, and pro bono coaching work. Outside of coaching, he is an avid skier, fly fisherman, golfer, traveler, and outdoorsman who believes some of the best leadership lessons are learned far outside the boardroom.

We start with you
No cookie-cutter programs. Every engagement begins with a deep discovery process to understand your specific context, goals, and the people involved. We listen before we recommend anything.
We combine data with heart
Science-backed assessments give us data: Predictive Index, Positive Intelligence®, and a Workplace Culture Assessment. Certified coaching gives us the relationship. Together, they create real and lasting change.
We build for the long run
Quick fixes fade. We build capability that compounds over time through lasting behavioral shifts, stronger team dynamics, and cultures that attract and retain great people.
A clear path forward.
Discover
We begin with deep listening. Through conversations, assessments, and discovery sessions, we develop a clear picture of where you are, where you want to go, and what's standing between the two.
Design
Together, we co-create a tailored strategy: whether that's a coaching engagement, a team performance program, a cultural initiative, or a combination of all three. You're always part of the design.
Develop
Through coaching sessions, workshops, assessments, and practical application, we build new capabilities in individuals, in teams, and in the structures that support them.
Sustain
Lasting change requires accountability and reflection. We build in regular check-ins, measurement checkpoints, and support structures so the progress you make keeps compounding over time.
