About the author

She is the internationally best selling author of 20 ground-breaking books, which have been translated into 33 languages.

Gael’s method works. It is grounded in 30 years of tried-and-tested strategies, bringing success for people from all walks of life. She uses a wide range of creative and interactive techniques. Through her highly engaging and ‘non-academic’ writing, media appearances, and seminars with charities and business organisations, she fosters in people the courage and coping mechanisms to become more confident and motivated.

Her unique hallmark is her down-to-earth approach. When consulted about a problem, she can always be relied upon to come up with a clear and concise explanation of its most likely cause and a practical strategy with which to tackle it.

Gael has also acquired enormous respect and credibility through her personal sharing. She is herself a role model for bouncing back from setbacks. She spent most of her childhood in children’s homes, overcame severe depression in her twenties and dealt with the traumatic breakdown of her first marriage in her thirties. More recently she lost a 19-year-old daughter in a tragic accident in 1996.

Reviews

[Barry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of useful practical skills, techniques, and advice here - many of which I am sure would be helpful to many people in areas beyond its focus area of career networking.

I particularly like the way they take the reader through the process of relationship building and maintenance from the very first impression, through small-talk and beyond.

Some pretty good advice, but a bit too focused on formal networking events
