how to develop leaders

The Eagle’s Nest

December 10th, 2012|

Recently I was asked to speak for an organization called, “Nest Effect.” The venue was rather cool because it was a movie theater and our story played for the first time on the big screen. It was an intimate setting for these business and community leaders who had gathered in their own cozy nest to chat, brew […]

Guess Who I Met: Star Parker!

December 7th, 2012|

I had the joy of having dinner and sharing the green room one night with Star Parker before taping the television show, “Life Today, with James and Betty Robison.” The outside marquee read, “Star Parker” with the second line saying, “Gail McWilliams.” It looked like I was being honored as the valet super-star of the […]

Guess Who I Met: The Madeira Family

November 30th, 2012|

Years ago, Tony and I had our own weekly television show that ran in Central Illinois for seven years. One of our directors was Mark Dreistadt, who also had a daily program. One day we were the guests on his show, and at the end while the credits ran and the microphones were silenced, we continued to […]

Celebrating Zig!

November 29th, 2012|

Life is to be celebrated especially when it comes to my dear friend, Zig Ziglar. Every encounter I have had with this man has impacted my life profoundly. He is a legend, known worldwide, and his life has matched his contagious message. Once sitting over dinner Zig reminded me, “Gail, when you have a […]

The Stare

November 26th, 2012|

I was sitting in the snack area of Costco while my son and husband were getting a slice of pizza. We were about to tackle the shopping for the week and it was lunch time. Funny as it may sound, the pizza bar at Costco is one of my guys’ favorites and ever so […]

Flying High

November 15th, 2012|

I love flying! It is not necessarily the traveling or high altitude and, for sure, not the small bag of nuts with close, cramped quarters, but it is the surprises along the journey. Each flight I am expectant as to whom I will meet and engage in conversation. I find each trip to have […]

Hope for the Nation

November 12th, 2012|

Did your candidate win? SO… the election is over and we are supposed to be moving forward? Where exactly?

No matter your vote this past Tuesday, our nation is divided.  Like a battery with opposite contributions of negative and positive charges, this feels less than a strong current energizing us for tomorrow’s hope. Unanswered questions, […]

Does Your Vote Count?

November 5th, 2012|

Is it my imagination, or does it seem like the whole nation is holding their breath until after Tuesday’s election? Does your vote really count? On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, our nation will vote into office the next President of the United States. It has been declared the most important election of our lifetime. […]

Coach for Life

October 31st, 2012|

Recently, I was asked why I became a Life Coach.  My answer was simple. I have always loved two things—life and people. Couple it with my purpose in life to inspire others to see beyond, coaching just seemed  like a natural addition. Looking back, I have done it for years long before I was […]

Top of Your Game

October 29th, 2012|

One fall I was invited to speak for a women’s convention in Idaho. It was my first time to visit this beautiful state, and my expectations were high. I was already amused by the timing of the convention because it was important that the date not interfere with deer season. At first, I thought […]
