Creator and teacher of programs for "at risk" kids and retirees

Gail Cassidy Biography
Who am I?
My passion is finding ways to make life better for me and for others through the research and the development of training programs.

My penchant for training and program development started early in my career when I sought creative ways to teach high school English. I suspected that this was my niche when, while working for IBM Corporation, I received their prestigious “Outstanding Contribution” award for a self-paced training program used nationwide that I had developed. I was especially proud to have been the first female and youngest person to have received this award.

While my husband and I were raising our two children, I continued developing programs through my extensive involvement with my local community, where I was president of seven organizations which enabled me to continue finding easier and better ways to fulfill our mission statements. I also researched and collaborated on numerous education issues for our local school board.

Later, as an instructor and manager of instructors for an international training organization, I continued doing what I love--developing and teaching programs that enable people to maximize their potential.

In the mid 1990's I founded Tomlyn Publications, a home-based business dedicated to empowering clients to recognize their strengths in themselves and in others in their lives. I had already written and published Discover Your Passion and its accompanying workbook for students. After starting my company, I authored five more books and 13 e-books and booklets plus seminars and workshops to utilize the information in the books.

One of the questions in my book, Discover Your Passion, is "What do you do naturally and effortlessly?" What I have found I do naturally and effortlessly is create programs; and as a result of that realization, I have steered my business down that path of helping coaches create seminars for their clients in order to master their niche and increase their client base and income.

For the past 18 years, I have had the opportunity to teach and coach many people toward the discovery of their passion, which has culminated in my latest endeavor, the completion of a book, entitled The Validating Mentor and The Validating Mentor Workbook to help “at risk” kids maximize their potential. This mentoring program assists young people in crisis in their search for a direction in life, who need help to discover their personal gifts and talents and who need to learn how to use them. The book can also be used as a tool by coaches when mentoring their clients.

Although I did not consciously plan to be where I am, that’s the road that I believe was meant for me to follow in life. That’s true satisfaction--doing what I love and knowing others are benefitting from what I do.
