In this episode, I speak with Gail Schaper-Gordon who is a Vistage executive coach, business psychologist, organizational consultant, and experienced CEO. Gail has 22 years of experience as a successful CEO and business leader. She has found and ran several successful small-to-mid-market professional service companies including Aegis Psychological Corporation and Behavioral Health Information Management Systems which were cornerstones of a behavioral health care delivery system of more than 500 mental health care providers and a quarter of a million individuals.
