I could not recommend Gabrielle more highly: this is a tough subject topic - senior leaders can be very suspicious of the bene?t of storytelling - but Gabrielle drives home the message elegantly. She has a great connection with the audience whether they be CEO's of businesses or front line team leaders - she passes on years of learning into a very easy to understand chapters. She is very 'low maintenance", needs little or no introduction; the event organisers all commented that it was a pleasure to work with her. Gabrielle is highly entertaining - but her message hits the target and resonates. Not surprisingly she received the highest rating from all 700 delegates - the star of the event.
Gabrielle Dolan has presented at a number of major conferences for Gartner over the years, including our Emerging Leaders in Multinationals, Women in Multinationals and HR Teams events. Gabrielle brings great warmth, humour and empathy to every presentation and always leaves delegates with a set of tools they feel con?dent in using straight away. We see hundreds of presentations each year in our forums and Gabrielle is among the very best an engaging speaker backed by compelling detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gabrielle for a major conference, on-site workshop or anything else in between!"
