Always Incredible
Gail’s stories are always incredible. She truly has mastered the ability of taking the most difficult moments and finding their beauty.
I Meant to Give You a Hug
Dear Gail, I meant to give you a hug when we parted tonight but didn’t have a chance. Your class means SO much to me. I lack structure, details, and self-confidence and you give me all and much more. I am still distances away from where I want to be, but you are pointing me to the right path I am looking forward to going down even after the classes end and even all by myself. It feels like a healer and a second chance, and you are so kind—I can’t thank you enough.
I Loved Your Class
Gail, thank you for helping us gain more confidence by tapping into our vulnerability. I loved your class and it was a great use of my weekend.
A Wonderful Teacher
I consulted with Gail to develop stories for business. She is a wonderful teacher. She is very fun, personable and able to get the best from every person. Her knowledge and expertise in storytelling, branding and strategic communication was a great value for me. I didn’t have any idea on how to create a story (because I’m very analytical and straight to the point). But, then thanks to Gail, I was able to create four new stories – starting from scratch.
An Awesome Instructor
This class was fun, educational, and entertaining! Gail brings years of experience to the class in a safe and insightful way. The storytelling tools given to us were helpful and her feedback was spot-on, up-beat and positive. You can tell that teaching and storytelling are a real passion for Gail! She is an awesome instructor!
A Masterful Teacher
Gail Thomas is a masterful teacher. She is smart, sensitive, open-minded and inspiring. I learned more in two days with Gail that I have in entire semesters. Highly recommend it. If you want to become a better storyteller, do yourself a favor and put yourself in her able hands. She will give you the tools and the courage you need.
An Invaluable Sounding Board
Gail has been an invaluable sounding board for me! From generating ideas, to editing and honing my stories, she is my go-to coach.
Her Storytelling Intuitions are Incredible
Gail helps her students help themselves. Her storytelling intuitions are incredible. The environment she creates is empathetic and supportive. She helps everyone refine and amplify their own voice.
A Lasting Impact
I brought Gail in to serve as story coach, writer/editor and day-to-day manager of an internal UX storytelling initiative. Gail’s encouraging attitude, strong interpersonal skills and professionalism had a lasting impact by inspiring my colleagues to write about the value of what they do, and gave them confidence to do more writing and broaden their storytelling efforts through applying to speak at conferences.
