”There are a million reasons to hire a coach. But there is one that is universally urgent – the harsh (thrilling) reality of the talent-based economy.   If you are not (RIGHT NOW) using your talents to add value to some person, project, or company, you are in danger of becoming economically extinct.”  Source:  www.Coachville.com

Gail McDonald – Octagon Coaching

Gail is a high energy, engaging and caring coach, facilitator and speaker.  Gail’s mission is to encourage and support others to identify the values of respect and harmony in life, as well as in the workplace.   Gail’s natural mediation ability is an art form that creates synergy between management and staff with ease.

Gail has three decades of experience and training in sales, finance and corporate, which is a strong compliment to Gail’s coach training.  The most important fact Gail has learned from her past experiences – “success in business is all about the people”.   Gail’s facilitating of career planning workshops has provided her with feedback of over 400 people as to the priorities of a productive work environment.  Why continue to struggle with negative toxicity in the workplace, when the answers are within reach!

As a Life Coach, Gail has developed a deep understanding of how one’s values drive behaviors.  Gail’s coaching style focuses on supporting clients to create their own awareness of what they consider important in their lives, and to explore how closely they are living their values and what needs to change.   When an understanding of one’s own mind begins, it is easier to understand others, a necessity for effective management.  

 

Gail’s practice includes –

  • Coaching one on one clients

  • Coaching small business

  • Facilitating workshops

  • Public speaking
