When you think of powerhouse executives in the marketing world, you might imagine sharp suits and even sharper elbows. But Gail Tifford shatters those stereotypes, proving that true leadership comes from authenticity, vulnerability, and a deep sense of purpose.
In this episode, Gail takes us on a journey from her early days at Unilever to her transformative roles at Weight Watchers and beyond. She shares how personal tragedy shaped her approach to life and leadership and why she believes that honesty is the ultimate superpower in the boardroom and beyond.
Gail's story is one of resilience, innovation, and unwavering commitment to lifting others as she climbs. From creating Unilever's first female business resource group to co-founding the #SeeHer initiative with Patty Kerr and Uplifters Podcast guest Shelley Zalis, she's been a tireless advocate for women in the workplace and media representation.
But what truly sets Gail apart is her willingness to be human first and executive second. Her candid reflections on work-life balance, facing loss, and the power of gratitude will inspire you to approach your own challenges with renewed courage and compassion.
"It's okay to choose your family over your career."
5 Key Uplifting Lessons:
1. Embrace vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.
2. Let your personal purpose guide your professional decisions.
3. When you see a problem, Gail-vanize a solution.
4. You can choose gratitude over victimhood, even in the face of loss.
5. Use your position of influence to create positive change for others.
