Leadership Workshops
I offer a series of half-day interactive workshops covering all the most important leadership practices. I teach the same practices I used to get results with the teams I led. I deliver each workshop personally.
Welcome to Gaynor Consulting
As a newspaper executive (see bio) I became convinced many years ago that every team reflects its leaders, so I approached each leadership assignment by building a skilled and caring leadership team. From vice presidents to lead hands, I selected people with care and then focused much of my time on developing their leadership skills - vision, feedback, communication, coaching, performance management and much more. Today, I take this experience and a large body of work to each client, across a wide variety of sectors, bringing my practical experience together with teaching what I believe are all the most essential skills.
I have always had a passion for workplace development, believing that as the workplace develops, for everyone who is a part of it, performance improvements follow naturally. This has led me to offer workshops for both leaders and employee groups.
Are you giving the members of your leadership team the opportunities they need to hone their skills and deepen their understanding of effective leadership? Are you giving your employees the opportunity to learn how to contribute more and enjoy their time at work more? I work with each client (from newly appointed leaders to senior executives) personally, so you can be assured you are with someone who has a track record in executive leadership and the experience to speak to virtually any leadership question.
Call or write today to learn more about a 1/2 day workshop, a comprehensive leadership development program, employee workshops, executive coaching or a keynote.

Executive Coaching
Fifteen years of executive leadership (including several transformations, integrations and turnarounds) provided me with the foundation of practical experience that I now offer to each executive coaching client. My goal is to help each client develop his or her fullest leadership potential.
Keynotes
I offer engaging and practical keynotes on a wide range of leadership topics, including: the 7 most powerful leadership choices, leader / follower relationships, the buy-in trap, building culture and more. My commitment is that listeners will leave with some practical skills they can put to use right away.
Workplace Development
Workplace development is a comprehensive approach to building the performance of your team. Clients receive workshops, executive coaching and consulting (on everything from interview assistance to communication and more) all based in a monthly retainer.
Retreats
Are you looking for a retreat experience that will leave your team feeling appreciated, energized and prepared for the road ahead? We'll help you strike just the right balance between strategic planning, team building, leadership and fellowship.
