Gene ScottDIRECTOR - NC WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING CENTER

“It is obvious when experiencing her presentations that Gail has earned her reputation as an insightful and thoughtful teacher, who nurtures her
workshop participants and celebrates the work that they tackle each day. I heartily endorse Gail for conferences and other training venues where the
goals are to acquire new skills and tools, to rejuvenate and re-energize case managers and others who consistently give so much to their customers, and to relax, laugh and actually have fun!”

Greg T. GodardEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - UPPER COASTAL PLAIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

“Our organization invited Gail to provide staff training on team building which was a big hit! The exercises really involved getting all staff involved working together to think through problems and finding creative ways to problem solving. In addition, her exercises resulting in staff communicating with each other about common  interests. We had a fun day and learned a lot about working together with a central focus to achieve a positive outcome. I would recommend Gail’s services to any organization looking to improve staff performance and communications.”

Gail is a coach that recognizes what you need and helps to guide you where you want to go, even when you may not see what it is you need or what your
destination is at the beginning. She hears what you say (and don’t say) and then helps you to recognize the patterns in your words and actions so that you can move beyond your current situation. The gentle nudging and affirmations of progress really helped me to take credit for the progress I made. Gail really had a gift in helping me to see my strengths, utilize my strengths and reach my desired destination that I couldn’t visualize at the beginning. I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Gail Ostrishko. Gail facilitated our Staff Retreat in October 2012. She learned specifics about our staff and organization enabling her to customize a program for us whereby we were able to learn and/or strengthen our leadership skills, as well as, team building skills. She has an amazing personality that gets you laughing and relaxed, trusting her in all the exercises. We learned, we jelled, we had great fun. My staff shared that this was “the best staff retreat we have had in many years”.

Thank you Gail for a great staff retreat.

Rog BatesCORPORATE COMEDY AND ENTERTERTAINER

Out of the many hundreds of people I’ve helped develop humor skills, Gail is probably in the top few percent when it comes to enthusiasm. Gail is passionate about her work and has great energy which bodes well for her. She also seems to have a strong belief system and is in tune with her subconscious mind. Combining all this with a very positive outlook, Gail delivers an important message with pizzaz!”
