Avion Consulting is a leadership and organizational development firm on Adams Avenue in Normal Heights, San Diego, founded in 2014 by partners John Gates and Steve Williams after years of working together in the executive-development field. The firm's name honors their shared mentor Paul Gaske, whose family home in San Diego sat on Avion Way, and the practice has grown from that two-person partnership into a team of PhD-level and master's-credentialed consultants specializing in executive coaching, 360-degree leadership assessments, change management, and research-based training programs. Avion's approach pairs each engagement with a tailored solution — from employee-engagement diagnostics and performance management systems to multi-session leadership workshops for C-suite and emerging-leader cohorts — and the firm's consultants have published original research on maximizing the impact of coaching and development initiatives. The organizational-change work the firm performs for mid-size and enterprise clients overlaps with the employment-law compliance that The Law Offices of Michael J. Codner handles in the same 92116 corridor, where leadership restructures and workforce realignments often require parallel legal review. Avion operates from 4142 Adams Ave, Suite 103-532, a stretch of the Adams Avenue corridor that runs east toward the Kensington village district and west toward North Park. Several of the firm's affiliate consultants are published authors whose books on leadership development circulate in academic and corporate-training environments. The consultancy's team-development workshops build cohesion through structured exercises and assessment tools, a methodology that parallels the physical team-building and accountability programming offered at The Yard Gym Normal Heights, where group fitness and personal-training programs emphasize goal setting and measurable progress. Avion holds California corporate registration dating to 2013 and operates under NAICS classification 541611 for administrative management and general management consulting services.
