I could not recommend Gabrielle more highly: this is a tough subject topic - senior leaders can be very suspicious of the benefit of storytelling - but Gabrielle drives home the message elegantly. She has a great connection with the audience whether they be CEO's of businesses or front line team leaders - she passes on years of learning into a very easy to understand chapters. She is very 'low maintenance", needs little or no introduction; the event organisers all commented that it was a pleasure to work with her. Gabrielle is highly entertaining - but her message hits the target and resonates. Not surprisingly she received the highest rating from all 700 delegates - the star of the event.

When Gabrielle speaks she practices what she preaches. She owns people's attention through her authenticity, her wit and humour and does it with fantastic verve and style. I have heard her speak many times now and she continues to inspire with her lessons, intention and passion. I wish more speakers were so real and entertaining.
