Biography

Libby Gill knows change. She grew up on two continents and went to eight different schools before putting herself through college waiting tables. Starting her career as an assistant at Embassy Communications, a television company founded by the legendary producer Norman Lear, in just five years Libby went through three mergers and arose to become head of publicity, advertising and promotion for Sony’s worldwide television group.

After a decade at Sony, Libby went on to lead public relations and corporate communications at media giants Universal and Turner Broadcasting. She exited the corporate world after nearly fifteen years in leadership roles to become a first-time entrepreneur in her forties, founding Libby Gill & Company, an executive coaching and leadership consulting firm based in Los Angeles.

For the past 20 years, Libby has guided clients to lead their teams through change, challenge, and chaos. She shares the science-based concepts of hope theory to provide the future-focused vision and positive engagement individuals and organizations need to compete in today’s swiftly changing world. In her executive coaching, leadership consulting, and keynote presentations, Libby guides others to:

• Reframe change as an opportunity for massive growth
• Re-energize your top talent to reach their full potential
• Re-inspire your company culture with a hope-driven vision of the future

Libby’s clients include Acura, ADP, Disney, Great Clips, Handyman Connection, Honda, Intel, Kellogg’s, Medtronic, Microsoft, PayPal, Speedo, Sony, The Honest Company, Viacom, Warner Bros., Wells Fargo, and many more.

Libby is the author of six books, including the award-winning You Unstuck; Traveling Hopefully; Capture the Mindshare, and The Hope-Driven Leader, with Leadership Reckoning to be published in 2021. A former columnist for the Dallas Morning News, Libby has published book chapters and peer-reviewed articles for numerous journals and trade publications. Business leaders including Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh, Stephen M.R. Covey, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, and Dr. Ken Blanchard have endorsed her work.

Libby Gill Reviews

“We just had Libby as our closing keynote today and she was absolutely fantastic. Our theme was Celebrate Success and I think the biggest success we had was Libby. She was incredibly accurate in reading our audience and addressing the issues that were pertinent to them. I don’t think we could have had a more on-mission and powerful speaker.”

— Minnesota Aging Services

“Libby had a great message about the strategies you need to build a powerful brand. She was warm and embracing and has tons of energy. We loved every minute of it.”

— Credit Union National Association

“Libby did a great job. She came in today, very inspiring, and I think personally touched the heartstrings of a lot of us. We all have our hang—ups and our fears and I think for me personally she really inspired me to take more risks and improve myself. She inspired me to be a better person, a better family man and a better businessman. So, I thank Libby for the great job she did today and I think she can help your organization as well.”

— Washington Public Utilities District Association

“I previewed more than 20 speakers for our leadership event, but kept coming back to Libby Gill. The warmth and intelligence that I saw in her video were exactly what I wanted for our group of high potential future leaders. And Libby delivered even more than I’d hoped for.”

— PayPal

“Libby was absolutely fabulous…a perfect blend of credible business experience, fascinating life circumstance (without being cloying—this is tough to pull off) and helpful insight into how to reframe stagnant perspectives and effect real change. The best part is her enthusiasm and humor—and her skillful avoidance of the type of rah—rah cheerleading cliche trap that many speakers fall into. I am not alone in feeling this as her talk sparked a long and interesting discussion among conference participants.”

— Global Pharmaceuticals

“We’ve seen a lot of great speakers here at Disney, but Libby’s presentation was one of the most inspiring I’ve seen in a long time. She managed to blend practical business information with deep insights about personal responsibility and leadership. After a very challenging year, our group was ready to get back to work, totally re-energized by her empowering message.”
