"I wish Gaye was my next door neighbor! She's the perfect blend of friendliness and wisdom that you want to have close by. She makes you laugh, and you leave her presence feeling valued and encouraged. For those of us who need daily reminders that our stories count and that what we do each day has real purpose, Gaye will fill you up with insight and jump start your day with inspiration." —Cheri Buelow, Director of Family Ministry, Trinity Lutheran Church, Hudson, WI

"We are still hearing wonderful things about the Great Escape, still praising God for the evening of encouragement and excitement, and still very thankful for you and your message that evening!" —Jeannie Hellman, Director of Outreach and Women's Ministry, Grace Lutheran Church, Andover, MN

She left us with hope and practical application of God's Word." —Lori Goble, Volunteer Minister, St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie, MN

"Gaye brings a wealth of experience to her presentations, but her intuitive demeanor and winsome personality make it a wonderful experience. Her book is terrific too." —John Hensrud, Hospitality and Gifts Director, Golden Valley Lutheran Church, Golden Valley, MN

I highly recommend Gaye as both a leader and speaker." —Dave Horsager, CEO, Horsager Leadership Studio, St. Paul, MN

"Where do I begin? Gaye is wise and humble, creative and practical, energetic and reflective, discerning and non-judgmental, a teacher and a student. Whether consulting, speaking, directing, or presiding, her life's work is in quiet service to others. What a gift!" —Robin Getman, Owner, InterACT Group, Minneapolis, MN

"I first became acquainted with Gaye when she was with Northwest Airlines and in that role served on the Corporate Board of Advisors for Women Work!. Gaye is an extraordinary human being--faithful, full of hope and warmth, and absolutely authentic in her passion for helping others realize their full value and potentiality."—Thia Hamilton, former COO/Deputy Director, Women Work!, Washington, D.C.

"I had the great pleasure of working with Gaye when she was an HR executive with my Company. We always looked forward to her presentations, as she had a great knack for taking a dry subject and introducing it in a compelling way. She had us sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting to see where she would take us. The journey was always worth it!" —Susan Henry, Managing Director, Northwest/Delta Airlines

"Thank you again for spending the day with us and giving such a wonderful and inspirational presentation. The feedback from the participants was great. I look forward to having you speak again for the MS Society." —-- Tim Holtz, Programs Manager, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MN Chapter

I very much appreciated being able to come up with a mission statement because it provides a target to aim at and direction to guide me along the way." —Georgiann Melton, St. Paul, MN

"Since attending your workshop and writing my mission, vision and legacy statements, there has been a shift inside me that has been dramatic at the very least. I feel as though I am living on purpose with something to strive for like I have never felt before. My day to day behavior is matching up with how I have always wanted to be, and that feels pretty darn good, if I do say so myself." —Bill Soular, Minneapolis, MN

"I really enjoy listening to Gaye talk. She has such a great way of motivating and focusing on each person." —Molly Libra, Minneapolis, MN

And here’s a sampling of attendee comments from one event:

  • “Gaye is a great speaker. Her message is solid, her stories are great, and she related to women of all ages and in all stages of life.”
  • “It was amazing. To see so many women in one room together. What a tribute to our wonderful Lord and Savior. Gaye has a wonderful ability to bring humor into life and to let women know that we are not on this journey alone.”
  • “Gaye is a great speaker, and whether you came to church for the 100th time or the first time, the stories and inspiration could touch us all.”
  • “The one word to describe Gaye’s presentation was REAL – She intermixed real life stories with real laughter. She related real challenges and adventures in her life, and so many of those related to my life as well.  And she gave a real testimony to God’s presence in our daily lives - which brings me hope and peace . . . REALLY! Thanks for being so REAL, Gaye!”
