Gayle Ely, MBA, PCC, Leadership Coach, Total Life Leadership
Gayle Ely is a Leadership Coach, Trainer and Team Facilitator known for partnering with non-profit and public sector leaders who secretly ask themselves the question “How Do I Become a Better Leader?”
Using the Six Pillars of Passionate Leadership, together, Gayle and her clients create a firm foundation from which to successfully lead teams and organizations. Gayle’s clients no longer find themselves saying “I love my work – except for the people part.” Instead they find themselves as passionate about leading people as they are about the service they provide. The result is higher impact and more successful outcomes for clients and customers.
Gayle has also co-authored the book Spiral Up: The Surprising Secret to Great Team Results. The leadership fable provides an innovative framework for effective teamwork and reveals the secret that can take a team to new heights.
Gayle’s community activities include:
• Adjunct professor teaching leadership and self awareness classes for Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) graduate students.
• Board President for Creative Community Services, a non-profit agency serving behaviorally and mentally challenged children in foster care and adults with disabilities.
• Pro bono coach for students in the Georgia State University WomenLead program.
