"For several weeks, I had been pulling my hair out trying to model a process. I couldn't find where and with what tool to do it. It took Gabrielle 3 minutes. Literally. She saved me from an endless and depressing manual job + now I can capitalize on the new tool. I still can’t believe it."Martine


"Gabrielle is a gifted innovator. Yes, she has experience in knowledge management, but she also demonstrates a strong personal sustainability practice that is driven by her internal motivation, which is infectious. Her ability is matched by her positive personality in that she can make you feel a part of the team. She is always encouraging and positive."Dan

"When we would catch up as friends, Gabrielle asked such insightful, thought-provoking, and business-savvy questions that I asked her if I could hire her as my business coach (this coming from someone who didn't think they needed a business coach). The ensuing year, our sessions always cleared my mind of the fog of entrepreneurial overwhelm, leaving a concrete, constructive way forward. With her open mind and her tactful yet fearless and straight-forward approach, Gabrielle is a master at creating a judgment-free environment focused on problem-solving and leveling up. If you can get a spot with her, you've struck gold!Shahnaz
