About

Stellar Coaching & Consulting was established in 2003 by Gail Barker, B.A., C.P.C.C., with a view to supporting individuals undergoing career transition.  Over the course of several months, as the company grew, Gail noticed that her target demographic had shifted.  Those seeking the services of Stellar Coaching & Consulting were primarily professional women — women leaders in particular — looking for a way to live life with ease, even when the world around them was filled with chaos.  As a result, Gail is now pleased to offer a variety of services and resources through Stellar Coaching & Consulting, all designed to support women leaders in shifting out of overwhelm and chaos, into lives of ease and choice.  It’s about understanding the relationship between authentic life balance (which is not the same as time management!) and leadership, so that your leadership style becomes the most powerful, authentic, effective it can be.

As principal coach, Gail is a founding member of CoachesCanada and a member in good standing of the International Coach Federation, subscribing to the ICF code of conduct.  Gail surrounds herself with a network of professional colleagues –what she refers to as her “Stellar team” — who support the work that she does.  In this way, Gail is able to ensure that her clients get the best service possible, whatever their specific situation might be.

When it comes right down to it, Gail is  fully committed to the realization of each of her client’s dreams and goals.  The ability to skillfully work with both individuals and groups as they move to create sustainable change in their lives is the hallmark of the entire suite of services offered by Stellar Coaching & Consulting. Since 2003 Gail has moved hundreds of people forward on the path toward their dreams, providing support, championing, opportunities to learn and to ultimately experience true success.  For Gail, it’s all about having you evolve along your personal path until you are able to say with utter conviction, “I am a powerful leader, living life on my terms, and effectively modeling my vision of leadership at all times.”

What I do

While coaching is becoming more mainstream, you might still not understand the process; so let me tell you this. I meet with clients weekly, either by phone or in-person as the circumstance allows. During these sessions, I provide clients with time – usually 30 minutes – that is dedicated to the exploration of whatever issue is important for them at that moment. This issue is explored within the context of longer-term goals and ideals; in other words, I’ll coach you about what’s going on right now, but I won’t allow you to lose sight of where you’re headed. The coaching dialogue is designed to have you answer the tough questions that you don’t want to face on your own so that you can learn from your circumstance, and then shift and move forward to the best version of you possible.
