Gayle is an outstanding executive coach. I began working with when I was joining the board of a non-profit start-up and planning my next professional steps. She has a fabulous style which enables authentic conversations and creates a strong foundation for goal setting and development planning. She both encourages and holds you accountable. I highly recommend her to help you clarify your objectives, build a game plan and reach your goals.
