Living the Remote Can Do Life, with Gail Gibson, Ep. 37

Gail Gibson has traveled with her husband for many years. Originally from Perth, Australia, she's spent several years working corporate jobs in Canada and the UK; but, now that she's able to work from anywhere, they've been able to see the world and decided to settle semi-permanently in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. In this session, Gail shares her personal strategies for working from home which include things such as starting off the day by spending time walking out in nature, electronics-free, so that she can clear her mind and set her intention for the day. Gail says that she works the hours she wants, typically over a four-day week with a three-day weekend. Thankfully, she had moved most of her communication to an online format before the pandemic hit, even with a lot of her local contacts, so that was already in place before everyone else had to go remote as well. 

Gail is known as The Can Do Coach, and she typically spends her work time coaching people from near and afar, speaking internationally, and putting on webinars and online masterclasses for individuals and teams. As a performance coach for business and corporate leaders, she focuses on enabling her clients to break through the frustration of unfulfilled personal and professional growth. Gail is also a podcast host of The Can Do Way and published author of the book Making Connections: How to Network Effectively to Build Better Business Relationships as well as the brand-new book The Rise of SEE-19© Leadership: See Beyond and Become the Leader You Are Born to Be.
