Gail and I worked together at St. Joseph Christian School, where she was a teacher and guidance counselor, and I was an administrator. Gail was mission-driven and passionate, and a highly effective educator. In 2005, Gail left our school to launch another school—the International School of Kabul, Afghanistan, where she served successfully as K-12 principal for 6.5 years. She’s a gifted teacher and administrator that gets the job done. I miss working with her!

Lydia – Mississippi

Gail is an excellent communicator, very clear with her message and at ease with an audience as well as individuals. She has great ideas and looks for ways to accomplish goals. I have always enjoyed her perspective and appreciate her willingness to respond to God's calling.

Sandy – Missouri

Gail is an excellent speaker and presenter. She communicates in the style most comfortable for the particular audience she is addressing at the time. Her clear message sprinkled with personal experiences is engaging and thought provoking. I am always thrilled to be able to attend a presentation by her! 

Mary – Missouri

The concept of life coaching was new to me, but after talking with a trusted friend about her experience, I felt like it may be something that would be beneficial for me to pursue for professional leadership development. Gail provided me with a safe place to discuss challenges, create plans, develop strategies and increase my awareness. Read More

Nichole – Missouri

Living well is an act of faith taken one step at a time. Gail discovered that truth as a pastor's wife, mother, educator and counselor. As a life coach, she is unsurpassed in helping others discover the next right step in their lives. She helped me discover the next right step for my life.

Deborah – Missouri

Gail's coaching helped me to hone my direction and goals my senior year of college, a fairly tumultuous time in my life. Gail's insight and the accountability she provided helped me to accomplish more than I thought possible.

Celeste – Seattle

Gail’s my go-to friend when I have a problem and don’t know what to do. She’s a master at cutting through the chase—at getting to the heart of a matter. She skillfully (even cleverly!) get you to admit the truth to yourself, and then guides you into taking positive steps to move forward.

Lydia – Mississippi

Gail coached my two daughters through their junior/senior years of college. They wanted to successfully finish college and move into the next phase of life with minimal transitions. Having Gail coach them to be successful with their goals was paramount to their desire to not have "senioritis". They are both pleased with the path they are on and the accomplishment they feel.

Elizabeth – Kansas

Gail's unique life experiences combined with her professional expertise provide an extraordinary foundation for life coaching. Personally, Gail has encouraged me to grow from tragedy and disappointment. By modeling hope and perseverance, Gail gives others the courage to change and become stronger in the process.

Judy – Missouri

Gail has been my life-coach. She has asked pointed (relevant) questions that made me think and process things in new ways. Gail’s professionalism (as a life-coach) and supportive interest in me have helped me greatly. With Gail’s help it was easier to walk in the darkness (and wait for brighter days). Gail has spoken the truth with love into my life. Read More
