Our Story
After 20 years in the corporate world playing roles ranging from Sales Director, Managing Director, CEO to Executive Committee Member, in 2007 Gail decided to take her skill set and knowledge into the more agile Private Sector where small companies and entrepreneurs desperately need this information but can never afford corporate pricing.
The Goal: to provide Strategy, Coaching and Training of the highest quality to individuals and businesses who are eager and inspired to become world class performers.
The Business Coaching System is streamlined, agile and rid of as many overheads as possible so we can pass that cost saving onto our clients. It is with great satisfaction and pleasure that we gift our clients this benefit.
RUSSO
Born into a family of professionals, entrepreneurs and self-starter successes.
Russo holds a BSc Quantity Surveying degree from The University of Pretoria, South Africa. This is all mathematics and science, but her real passion is for people.
An opportunity to realise this passion led her to the position of Team Leader in a dynamic local company which resulted in a Coaching post in New York City.
She continues to coach both local and international clients in productivity, business and life skills and became CEO of The Business Coaching System which brings together all of these and more.
GAIL
Gail is blessed to have been brought up in a highly entrepreneurial household.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) degree from Maritzburg University, and a first class MBA from The University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Entering the corporate world, she moved up through the ranks very quickly thanks to her love of business. Finding her strength in starting new companies within large ones (intrepreneurship), she made sure that she was learning and growing as fast as she could to keep her projects cutting edge, disrupting various financial services arenas which lead her trajectory into C suites of blue chip organisations.
Her last corporate project was to build a new One Account bank within one of the largest banks in Africa. This innovation covered every discipline within the complex banking system which prepared her to break away and start her own management consultancy.
Since 2007 she has been successfully offering consulting, training and coaching services to small, medium and large companies all over Africa and The United States in both real estate and general business.
