Gayle Marie

I've been drawn to the art of creation, a passion deeply embedded in my genes. Raised in a family where kindness and care overflowed, my interests naturally extended to serving people and safeguarding animals. My dedication was acknowledged when my story became part of "Second Chances" by Elise Lufkin and Diane Walker, a touching tribute to the bond between humans and dogs.

In college, I pursued communications multimedia and business administration, forging a versatile skill set. Post-graduation, I entered the realm of entrepreneurship, where creativity knew no bounds and growth opportunities were endless.

My most significant achievements, whether in my professional life or personal endeavors, center around the development, coaching, and mentorship of others. The industry or business sector may vary, but to me, the focus remains steadfastly on the people and the lasting impacts we can make on those we encounter on our journey. It's about the positive influence we can have on others along the way.

This philosophy drew me to the idea of helping others realize their potential. I worked as a training director at a tech school with a focus on adult education, and later as a management consultant. I helped businesses identify areas of improvement, and crafted bespoke solutions to enhance their productivity and profitability.

Witnessing the struggles faced by entrepreneurs and small businesses, I saw a recurring issue: their advertising efforts were often not effective. Unlike bigger firms with substantial marketing budgets, these smaller companies had to navigate the daunting world of advertising on their own.

To bridge this gap, I combined my experience as a business coach, trainer, educator, and marketing strategist to found the Marketing Consultants of Maryland. We provide a comprehensive solution, focusing on the overall success of the businesses we serve. In this role, as in others, it has always been about the people, and the impacts of those we meet on our path, reinforcing my belief in the importance of personal connections and the influence we wield for positive change.
