Gayle Johnson is a seasoned organizational leadership trainer and coach with a rich tapestry of experience that spans over 25 years in nonprofit management and private business leadership. A proud native of Seattle, Gayle's lineage traces back to one of the city's historical celebrated African American pioneer families, adding depth and context to her work in championing social justice.
Residing in the vibrant Greater Atlanta Area, she has seamlessly transitioned her legacy of leadership and empowerment from the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast. Gayle's educational accomplishments are reflected in her status as an honored alumna of Spelman College and holding a BA in Political Science from the University of Washington and advanced studies in Transformational Leader at Seattle University. This underpins her analytical and strategic approach to her consultations and coaching sessions.
Internationally recognized as a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Gayle has carved a niche in the world of personal development, focusing her skills on guiding minority women to harness their potential and achieve their passions. After experiencing two life-altering periods of burnout, including a sobering two-month recovery confined to bed rest, Gayle was compelled to "say Yes to me." This deeply personal epiphany became the cornerstone of her philosophy, leading her to reassess her devotion to nonprofit leadership to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams.
Gayle resurrected her aspirations while nurtured by weeks of reflection and grew a thriving business from these revelations. She now masterfully balances her involvement in leadership support organizations with the rewarding task of personally impacting the lives of minority women—assisting them in discovering and pursuing their passions.
Her transformational experience redefined her objectives, culminating in her desire to work freely from any location in the world—an ambition she has actualized through intentionality and synergy with the universe. Today, as a dedicated life coach, Gayle brings clarity to those seeking to recognize their true passions and formulates strategies for integrating those desires into a lifestyle filled with joy and fulfillment.
Gayle's reconnection with her own goals and happiness is mirrored in her diverse range of hobbies and interests. An outdoor enthusiast at heart, she revels in adventures like hiking and rock hunting that connect her with the natural world. A lover of the arts, Gayle spends time knitting, immersing herself in literature, partaking in the cultural vibrancy of fine arts, and attending musical concerts. Further enriching her soul, she explores the globe through travel and seeks peace in the spiritual enlightenment of retreats.
With her transformative approach to life coaching, personal journey to self-rediscovery, and commitment to elevating others, Gayle Johnson exemplifies the blend of professional excellence and personal fulfillment that ignites lasting change.
