Work with Gayle

I work with leaders who carry responsibility for others — founders, heads of organisations, charity and community leaders, and leaders in health, education and care — and who want that responsibility held by values they're proud of.

I'm not a coach. I won't give you a funnel or a growth plan. I'll help you name what you stand for, see clearly where your leadership honours it and where it doesn't, and lead from there.

01 · Talks

Talks for organisations and conferences

The signature talk

Love Creates Love

40–60 minute keynote · for any audience of leaders, at any organisation or conference

The talk Gayle's whole body of work has been building toward. Twenty-four years of proof that love is not a soft idea: it is the most powerful force a leader has, and it multiplies. Gayle tells the story of a front room, three babies, a law career left behind and a charity in Malawi, and shows what changes when a leader treats love as a law rather than a feeling.

What the audience leaves with: the idea that love creates love, one practice to begin with tomorrow, and a standard they can hold their own leadership to.

Talks built on the same law

Love Creates Love at Work.

45–60 min · for employers, HR and people leaders

What love, care and community look like in an organisation: how you treat people at the moments that matter most, including parents returning to work.

Leaves with: Three changes to make in how you support your people.

From Lawyer to Love.

40 min · conferences, women's leadership, professional bodies

What the law taught Gayle about responsibility, and what motherhood taught her about love.

Leaves with: The courage to lead by values over precedent.

Protect the Smallest.

40–60 min · health, early years, public sector, charities

What 24 years with babies and parents teaches about leading everyone else. Love as a standard, not a sentiment.

Leaves with: The case for treating care as a professional standard.

Enough.

40 min · founders and senior leaders

Leading for a lifetime, without it costing your health, your family or your joy.

Leaves with: Permission and a plan to build something sustainable.

Love Creates Love in a Community.

45 min · charities, community and faith organisations

How love multiplies through a community rather than stopping with one person, from two students to thirty countries to a charity in Malawi.

Leaves with: A way to grow a community without burning out its leaders.

Masterclasses

Half-day masterclass: Love Creates Love

A working session, not a speech. Your senior people name the values their leadership actually runs on, look honestly at where the organisation lives by them and where it doesn't, and leave with those values written down and one commitment each. Built for leadership teams, HR and people functions, clinical and care teams, and charity boards.

Every talk says one thing in different words: love creates love. Same law, six doors.

In her words

Love creates love

02 · A Day with Gayle

One day. Your values, named and lived.

A full day together, in person or online. We name the values your leadership stands on, look honestly at where your organisation or work lives by them and where it doesn't, and decide what changes. You leave with your values written down, and one clear next step.

“Everyone should have a day with Gayle.”

03 · Counsel

Counsel for a small number of leaders each year

Before this work I was a lawyer. Lawyers give counsel: principled, honest advice from someone who knows the standard and will tell you the truth. That's what I offer a few leaders each year, over several months, as they face decisions that matter. It's not coaching. It's counsel, from values.
