Sign Up. Suit Up. Show Up. To Do Your Great Work with Gail Robertson | UYGW24

This week on the podcast, we are featuring Gail Robertson, the Chief Curiosity Officer of GailNow! She is a whirling dervish on social media and a networking super-connector, and I’ve been amazed by her energy and success for years. Listen in as Gail helps us to uncover what it takes to realize the potential of our curious brain and accomplish our wildest dreams by signing up, suiting up, and showing up.

16:20 Work with the right clients - Sometimes you have to say no to certain things so you can say yes to the great opportunities.

19:34 The biggest hurdle to get over is to get out of your own way - You can be the hero of your own story!

23:37 How Gail helps her clients get into the right mindset, get over insecurity and start sharing the stories of their great work.

About the Guest:

Gail Robertson brings an unfamiliar and fresh outlook to the more traditional Manufacturing Industry. This (recovering) journalist knows how to use curiosity to celebrate innovation - and turn obstacles into opportunities. She helps transform businesses for extraordinary results! Curiosity is the foundation of her 3 step process: Sign Up, Suit Up and #ShowUP! Gail has always been curious, which led her into journalism. She now uses storytelling (developed as a journalist), in her manufacturing world. Her transferable skills have assisted her as she transitioned from journalist, to bed-and-breakfast owner, to fundraiser, to Marketing Manager at an insurance tech company and now, “Chief Curiosity Officer” at GailNow. She is a social media strategist and Keynote Speaker, who can help just about anyone exercise their Curious Brain! She and many others have found that with curiosity, so much is possible: step out of your comfort zone, overcome fear, do things you’ve never done before, meet amazing people and ShowUP with joy, passion and enthusiasm.
