FOUNDER

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.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Russo is wonderful. Inspirational and very personalized in her approach.
Jane J

I was considering being a buyers agent and Russo asked me questions that shed light on important aspects of the opportunity I would otherwise not have explored. In the end I have decided to run my own business and look forward to reaching my goals now and in the future.

Russo takes a very personal approach to tapping in to my strengths/weaknesses and how to position myself effectively as a Team Leader. She adapts her sessions to my urgent topics, and allows me to see the big picture and stay on track with my goals. I'm so thankful to have Russo for a coach!
