Connectionmark Expands Strategic Advisor Ecosystem with Dr. W. Garrett Goggans Partnership
Human-centered leadership expert joins to address root-cause organizational misalignment and performance friction
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — (July 30, 2026) — Connectionmark, a strategic business and communications firm focused on decision-making capability and organizational clarity, today announced that Dr. W. Garrett Goggans, President and CEO of Goggans Consulting, has joined its Strategic Partners program.
The partnership strengthens Connectionmark’s growing advisor ecosystem by adding specialized expertise in leadership alignment, workplace culture, and intrinsic performance—areas increasingly critical as organizations struggle with disengagement, attrition, and operational friction.
Connectionmark’s ecosystem model connects business owners with vetted specialists across finance, legal, marketing, and operations. The addition of Dr. Goggans fills a key gap: helping leaders resolve the underlying human dynamics that often limit execution and growth.
Dr. Goggans, who holds a Doctorate of Computer Science, is the creator of the Aspiration Advantage™ methodology, a framework designed to align individual belief systems with organizational goals. Rather than relying on compliance-driven management approaches, his work focuses on activating intrinsic motivation—resulting in more resilient, self-directed teams.
As part of the alignment with Connectionmark, Dr. Goggans will be facilitating a series of four leadership labs during the month of August. These lessons are invaluable to all who join and take the insights and teachings with them as they rise to the next level as leaders.
“Most organizations don’t have a strategy problem—they have an alignment problem,” said Mark Bittle, President and CEO of Connectionmark. “Dr. Goggans brings the rare ability to translate complex human behavior into structured, actionable insight. That’s exactly what our clients need when they’re trying to move from friction to forward momentum.”
Through the partnership, Connectionmark clients will gain direct access to Dr. Goggans’ services, including executive keynotes, leadership workshops, and his flagship Aspiration Advantage consulting program. These offerings are designed to reduce employee attrition, improve retention of top talent, and create sustainable performance without constant managerial pressure.
“My work is about helping people reconnect to what drives them and aligning that with what the organization needs,” said Dr. Goggans. “Connectionmark already helps leaders think more clearly and make better decisions. Together, we can ensure those decisions are carried out by teams that are aligned, engaged, and built to sustain performance.”
The collaboration reflects a broader shift in the consulting industry, where organizations are moving away from transactional solutions and toward integrated, human-centered strategies that address root causes rather than symptoms.
