About Gail Sussman-Miller

g•••@inspiredchoice.com 77••••••12 WHO DO I SERVE? I work with stressed women leaders to help clear the fog in relationships with themselves and others so they bring their authentic, truthful self to work. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS? I raise awareness and increased emotional intelligence to increase confidence, decisiveness, and courageous truth-telling. This in turn helps turn challenging conversations into collaborative partnerships. I help women leaders leverage vs. squelch their feminine power, intuition and self-trust so they tell the truth and garner more cooperation, retention, productivity and CAREER Testimonial from a woman CEO of a 65-person wealth management client credits Gail with being indispensable in helping her:* step into her leadership power in a way that is authentic to her,* speak the truth to manage difficult conversations,* better manage her time, and* gain clarify on her desired outcomes and how to achieve them. Through firm-wide training, Gail helped employees become more curious, responsible, and comfortable with discomfort which reduced procrastination and delay. Gail helped her managers shift into the mindset of mentors offering course corrections rather than feedback, resulting in stronger partnerships, increased trust, safety, and transparency. Working with pairs of employees at a relationship and productivity impasse, Gail quickly helped unearth and transform misunderstandings and miscommunication to form stronger, more honest partnerships, which avoided possible employee exits and increased cooperation.WHAT IS MY UNIQUE TALENT?My leadership profile is one of only 7% of those assessed. I sense, see and tell the truth about disempowering patterns of thought and behavior, sabotage, blind spots and fear that derail the best leadership intentions. In addition to anchoring new, authentic, empowered beliefs, I provide guidance on immediate practical and tactical actions to improve relationships and results for leaders and their employees.Contact me at g•••@inspiredchoice.com for a complimentary conversation to explore your possibilities.
