Gayle Smerdon is a workplace culture expert and people nerd. She is the author of two books encouraging independent learning and sustainable change. Gayle is a deep thinker, having attained qualifications in Psychology and a PhD in Sociology, but is dedicated to translating understanding into real work outcomes.

Gayle believes people have the most amazing capability when given the right support and environment. She has spent the last 15 years helping people do work that matters, finding solutions that stick, and grow teams that thrive. She works with leaders and teams who are focused on creating a values led workplace.

A self-confessed learn-aholic, Gayle lives in Melbourne and is the contented slave to her feline overlord, Mr Spooks. She is working on her third book in the “Do ONE THING deep” series on building productive and collaborative teams and is looking to publish ‘The Bad Day Playbook” soon.
