“I had the opportunity to work with Gail as she facilitated a large networking group (50+) of executives in search of their next career. She was instrumental in providing guidance for the group as well as insight for each individual on how they could best articulate themselves. Gail is a master of influencing others without authority. She is able to highlight the best qualities of a leader, help them identify their strengths, and provide constructive feedback in an energizing and positive way. She has a unique ability to help others reach their full potential through self realization. Gail is an asset to help executives become stronger leaders and to help teams become more productive and efficient! She has been an inspiration to me!”  Terri Hines

“I want to recommend Gail who I worked with early this year to help determine which direction I should take with my job search. I initially wanted help with networking, but Gail quickly sensed my suppressed desires to take a totally different direction. As a result of Gail's skilled guidance I purchased a business in New Mexico. So far this decision has been a good one.”  Mike Meyer

“I met Gail Sussman Miller through ExecuNet. She provides a tremendous service to Executives throughout the Chicago area. Her networking events, personal consultations and information for those seeking employment are phenomenal! Her enthusiasm and drive are contagious! I highly recommend Gail's services to Executives seeking career advice and assistance.” Dianne Shanabruch
