Guy Gage
LPC, CPT, ALPS
Guy Gage is the owner of the PartnersCoach®, a coaching and consulting firm to professionals in private practice. Holding a license in counseling and a certificate in human performance improvement, he has consulted with and coached professionals for almost 20 years, guiding them to increase their effectiveness and career satisfaction.
To help address the specific needs of high profile individuals that come to Pinnacle Services, Guy has brought his unique coaching/counseling skills to the practice.
Guy began his career as a therapist working with executives and their families. Soon his career expanded to include soft-skills training to schools, business and not-for-profit enterprises. Because of his effectiveness and his personal interest, he transitioned out of his counseling practice to concentrate on training and strategic planning for professional service firms.
In 1999, Guy expanded his private practice further and joined Troy Waugh and The Rainmaker Academy, an international leadership and marketing training firm for accountants. For 10 years he served as a Senior Instructor with the Academy, training and coaching hundreds of accountants in the USA and Europe to generate millions of dollars in revenue for their firms.
In 2001, following a successful consulting practice, Guy joined Toothman Rice, PLLC, a 4 office accounting firm in north-central West Virginia. Over the course of 7 ½ years, he held responsibilities in HR, marketing and firm development as the firm doubled in revenue and profitability.
While enjoying his time at Toothman Rice and The Rainmaker Academy, he wanted to focus more on what he does best: coaching professionals to discover their success potential. In July 2009, Guy launched the PartnersCoach®, working with professionals and firms in accounting, financial services, law, engineering and architecture. When asked about how he likes his new venture, he says, “It fits perfectly. It’s what I do; it’s who I am.”
Guy is a graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College and Marshall University Graduate College. His affiliations include the International Society for Performance Improvement, the American Mental Health Counselors Association and the West Virginia Licensed Professional Counselors Association.
