About

For more than 30 years, Libby Gill has helped leaders at every level inspire purpose, drive performance, and build hope-driven cultures that thrive in times of change.

A former communications executive for Sony, Universal, and Turner Broadcasting, Libby began her career at Norman Lear’s Embassy Communications and quickly rose through the ranks, navigating three mergers in five years to lead global publicity, advertising, and promotion for Sony’s worldwide television group. She later led PR and corporate communications at Universal and Turner before launching her own firm, Libby Gill & Company, in her forties.

Now a sought-after executive coach, leadership consultant, and keynote speaker, Libby brings deep experience and science-backed insights, especially the power of hope theory—to help organizations adapt, grow, and lead with vision.

Over the past 25 years, she’s guided top companies through transformation, helping leaders reframe change as opportunity, re-energize their teams, and re-inspire their culture.
