My friend Gail Robertson is THE BEST networker I know.
And she’s got a lot to say about what it takes to change an industry… even one as mired in tradition and old-school ways as manufacturing.

Listen in as Gail helps us to uncover what it takes to realize the potential of our curious brain and accomplish our wildest dreams by signing up, suiting up, and showing up.

About the Guest:
Gail Robertson brings an unfamiliar and fresh outlook to the more traditional Manufacturing Industry. This (recovering) journalist knows how to use curiosity to celebrate innovation – and turn obstacles into opportunities. She helps transform businesses for extraordinary results! Curiosity is the foundation of her 3 step process: Sign Up, Suit Up and #ShowUP! Gail has always been curious, which led her into journalism. She now uses storytelling (developed as a journalist), in her manufacturing world. Her transferable skills have assisted her as she transitioned from journalist, to bed-and-breakfast owner, to fundraiser, to Marketing Manager at an insurance tech company and now, “Chief Curiosity Officer” at GailNow. She is a social media strategist and Keynote Speaker, who can help just about anyone exercise their Curious Brain! She and many others have found that with curiosity, so much is possible: step out of your comfort zone, overcome fear, do things you’ve never done before, meet amazing people and ShowUP with joy, passion and enthusiasm.
