Garrick owns The Executas Group, LLC which helps individuals, teams, and organizations make lasting change in how they think and behave.

She’s an Enneagram teacher/practitioner and is currently expanding her study through The Narrative Enneagram, including a small study group with core faculty member Peter O’Hanrahan.
