Gail as your Personal Coach

Are you performing at your highest potential – as a fundraising executive and as a whole person?  Gail’s coaching can help you stretch to meet your career goals while you establish a better work/life balance.  You CAN create greater satisfaction and happiness  – both in your work and in your personal life.

Gail, thank you so much for the incredible series of coaching sessions.  That by far has been the best professional experience I’ve had in which I was able to grow in my career and in my personal development.  I will forever be grateful for the experience!  Many thanks,  Paige Johnson, President and CEO, The Health Adventure, Asheville, NC

Gail can help you navigate the rough terrain of organization change, the murky seas of board/staff relationships and the urban jungle of fundraising.

She can help you set up for success whether you are trying to meet your annual fund target, prepare for another capital campaign, inspire your board, restructure your staff and create a better work/life balance.

You helped me understand loyalty, hiring processes, board staff relations, and motivating our board to be involved in fundraising. . .You helped me develop strategies for fundraising and staff development. .

You helped me think about how to redirect some of my energy. . . . Best of all, you gave me the encouragement to focus on some tough challenges. It was a truly rewarding experience for which I am extremely grateful.

Why Coaching?  Under the right circumstances, working with an objective third party can give you feedback, a new perspective and a focus that you can’t find other places.

Do you want to be a top fundraiser or organizational leader?  Do you wish you had one-on-one feedback and guidance from a seasoned nonprofit executive?

Gail, I want to let you know how much I appreciate and value your coaching.

Our organization was going through a significant crisis.  Your coaching helped me put everything into perspective and lead with confidence through this experience.

You helped me establish better balance in my life and more productivity in my work.  Our organization has survived its crisis, and we are beginning to grow and make a significant difference.  You have made a very big difference for me personally and for the Alliance for Peacebuilding.   I can’t thank you enough.
