1-1 Coaching with Gail
Usually, when a leader or aspiring leader chooses to work with me one on one, it’s because on some level they’re feeling called to something more and they’re not sure how to get there.
They’ve got a sense that their personal leadership journey is ready to be elevated into a new realm – and they’re looking for support to make that happen. I also work with students in the Co-Active Coaching program, supporting them in their learning and growth.
Individual coaching is about making yourself, your growth and your leadership a priority – taking dedicated time on a regular basis to focus on you, explore what’s working and what isn’t, and develop action plans that are both easy to implement and sustainable in terms of the change that you create
(because what’s the point of creating change, if you’re just going to slip back into the way things were?).
Individual coaching is about reconnecting with the things that matter, and finding ways to breathe renewed energy into YOUR leadership, so that you can in turn ELEVATE your leadership.
There’s nothing cookie-cutter about this coaching; it’s fully tailored to who you are and how you want to show up in the world. I bring over two decades of experience into my coaching alliances, including using a trauma-informed lens as needed, meeting you in your own lived experience, and inviting you to envision and live outside of whatever limitations have been at play until this point. It’s about having you reconnect with the BEING of your leadership, knowing that as you do so, the required actions will become apparent.
Bottom-line: when you work with me, you'll discover how to lead at the work that you love, while loving the life that you lead.
We do not coach for a problem to be solved, we coach for a life to be lived.

As a Co-Active trained coach myself, I don't say this lightly: Gail is exceptional
I met with several coaches before choosing Gail, and what stood out immediately was her unwavering belief that I was naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. Working with her gave me the confidence to leave my career as a physician and build a fulfilling life as a coach.
Even through a screen, sessions with Gail feel like a warm cup of coffee. She reaches the deepest, truest parts of me without ever drifting into "woo woo" territory. She has met my biggest questions with professionalism, curiosity, and complete acceptance.
When I resumed therapy after leaving medicine, my first instinct was to talk to Gail. That tells you everything. She isn't just an exceptional coach. She's become a genuine pillar in my life.
