PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Over the years, I have spoken at hundreds of conferences, summits and leadership events inspiring countless individuals through my personal stories and experiences as a female leader who blazed a trail for others along the way. I have been honored to mentor and offer career advice, and it has been gratifying for me to see so many emerging business people eager to come to me with their challenges.
The first way I responded to these requests was through my book, Cowgirl Power. Published in 2018, the book is full of advice and has been well received by men and women alike across a wide variety of industries and age groups. However, since I sold my digital marketing and advertising agency, T3 in fall 2019, I have had the pleasure to continue my work in empowering leaders and managers as they struggle with their career choices. I have found that working with these talented individuals is extremely rewarding. Therefore, I’m formalizing this experience into a leadership development program where I believe I can make a real difference.
Working with companies large and small, my leadership programming is designed to touch thousands of lives through the actual participants and how they will influence the lives of others through their leadership and future careers. Whether its a single educational seminar or a multi-session program spanning across months, I will work with your team needs to craft a program to accelerate and propel teammates forward.
TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE CUSTOMIZED AROUND THEMES SUCH AS CORPORATE CULTURE, WOMEN'S INITIATIVE, DIVERSITY, EXECUTIVE TRAINING...
WHAT WE WILL ACHIEVE
- Programming includes real-world conversations and not naive or academic. This is not theoretical learning. Gay will introduce your organization to pressure-cooker business situations happening today while preparing for the future.
- The goal is simple. Take proven, talented leaders and shorten their management learning curve while building company loyalty while boosting morale.
- Gay will empower employees to learn their core strengths and how to build high performance teams that customers will trust and rely upon. She will take the fear of failure, acknowledge it as always possible, and then will defeat it over and over again.
- Gay believes that leadership training that brings multiple disciplines across departments and career paths together is critical to a successful leadership program.
- She will provide positive, motivational messages that will uplift the participants and will help them to innovate and dream big.
- Shareholder value should be acknowledged and included in the discussion, where appropriate.
- Discussions will include honest feedback. Your staff will have the opportunity to safely share with peers while creating a bond and support group within your organization.
LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT
In honor of Black History Month, Gay shares her favorite quotes by the legendary Barbara Jordan, a pioneering woman of many "firsts" that inspires us all.
"More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future." - Barbara Jordan
“What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise.” - Barbara Jordan
“Let there be no illusions about the difficulty of forming this kind of a national community. It's tough, difficult, not easy. But a spirit of harmony will survive in America only if each of us remembers that we share a common destiny.” - Barbara Jordan
“All my growth and development led me to believe that if you really do the right thing, and if you play by the rules, and if you’ve got good enough, solid judgment and common sense, that you’re going to be able to do whatever you want to do with your life.” - Barbara Jordan
“If you’re going to play the game properly, you better know every rule.” - Barbara Jordan
WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE?
Early in my career I learned how important it is to know
your strengths and to know what kind of career and work environment fosters
your personality type. This helped define me as a leader in building teams.
I've found that innovation comes from teams with diversity of thought. From
DiSC to StrengthsFinder, there are several assessment tests that can guide you.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is one of the most popular and I often
use this in my leadership training. Take a free MBTI-based
test to explore your strengths, and contact us for custom leadership training
for your teams. Together we can learn how to harness the power of this tool, along with other skills I've developed over my career.
