Gail talks about her own brushes with reinvention in her life, as she shifted careers from being a top executive at a Fortune 10 company to becoming a well-known storyteller with more than 15 fiction and nonfiction books to her name.
She also speaks about her upcoming book “Fresh Start Success: Reinvent Your Work, Reimagine Your Life and Reignite Your Passion”, which features many stories of people who have gone through different life changes and have since emerged stronger and more successful.
Like most of Gail’s heroes in her fiction books, a lot of people can also look at transformation as terrifying and liberating at the same time. As such, Gail tries to impart a message that will hopefully help people chart their own reinvention in their own lives.
