“Gail is one of the best change managers I’ve worked with: very thorough with her planning, taking the time to understand all the communication channels to roll out changes and ensuring she focuses equally on the initial roll out and embedding. Gail is also proactive in ensuring all streams of change have adequate support, and is willing to pitch in where required to guarantee the overall project is delivered to a high standard.”
Fiona Holt, Product Owner, ANZ Bank
“I have worked with Gail on the implementation of a new financial performance reporting application for bankers – this change was challenging from an organisational perspective as it required changing the culture on how we have done financial performance reporting in the past through a series of manual and complex process most of which were not sustainable. Gail drove the change both from the technical and cultural perspective which involved training our bankers and internal teams with the right content messaged to purpose, effective stakeholder management across the business and finance function, enabling and empowering other change managers to execute the change strategy and overall being transparent on the change itself. Gail is driven and passionate about change and it was an absolute pleasure working with her on this significant piece of work.”

Agnes Wong, ANZ Bank
I cannot recommend Gail’s coaching services enough. Any scepticism you may have about the session will be washed away within the first few minutes of talking to Gail. The DISC profile session was one of the most informative and practical personal development sessions I have attended. Not only is Gail incredibly knowledgeable but her approach is personable, outcome focused and fun, you will walk away feeling like you have truly accomplished something and with a greater awareness of yourself, peers, family and friends. Gail has an abundance of experience in the field of personal development and leadership, and it is clear to see why she has been so successful – it is her passion, and in turn she is passionate about bringing her experience and knowledge to others and to help them operate and radiate as the best version of themselves.
Ashleigh Allen, Senior Change Manager, ANZ Bank

She is amazing in the way she deals with internal and external stakeholders. Gail can grasp the subject knowledge very quickly. It helps her to articulate As-Is and To-Be processes very efficiently to the people who are impacted by the particular change in the process or system. I am very happy that I have got opportunities to work with Gail and am sure she will add value to any type of organisational change projects.”
