Dr. Gayle Carson, CSP, CPCM
Carson Research Center

Gayle shared with us: It’s Never Too Late — The 9 Secrets to Living A Lively and Rewarding Life.

Gayle Carson is not your typical 69 years old. She is the ultimate embodiment of a daring woman. She has been in business for over 45 years and she is still happily married to her one and only for over 43 years. She has experienced the best and the worst. She has survived cancer (not once but three times), her husband’s 5 heart surgeries, the loss of a son, custody of a grandchild, and yet every day for Gayle is a positive one.

Even at the tender age of three, Gayle was not your typical child. While performing a somersault in her first dance recital, Gayle’s crown suddenly fell off. Rather than finish the show without her full costume, she asked that the music be stopped so she could put her crown back on. The musicians complied with Gayle’s request, and waited to continue until she said, “OK! Let’s do it again.” Thus began Gayle’s career as a remarkable, “showstopping” entrepreneur.

Not long after graduating from college, Gayle bought her first business from her boss for no money down, and proceeded to profitably diversify its sales base from one to seven divisions. Gayle’s business eventually became the largest independent organization in the industry. As CEO, Gayle managed a diverse staff of over 350 people, graduated more than a quarter of a million students from her training programs and personally managed the company’s complex payroll. While serving as CEO of her business, Gayle received her doctorate from Nova Southeastern University and eventually sold her first business for over 20 times its initial value.

Today, Gayle Carson is an expert advisor and coach to CEO’s and entrepreneurial managers around the world. She holds a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) and CMC (Certified Management Consultant), the highest designations in their respective fields. Still the first and only woman to serve as chairman of one of the largest Better Business Bureaus in the United States and developer of the cable television series, “Business Today,” Gayle has received numerous honors from her peers. She was featured in over 40 of the “Who’s Who” books and has been featured in the USA Today, and also appeared on the Larry King Radio Show.

She captured the steps in her own successful route to the top in her book “How to Get to the Top and Stay There.” As President of the Carson Research Center, she serves as a consultant to 50 industries on six continents, advising them on current business trends and cutting edge opportunities to stay ahead of their competition. She is also President of the International Association of Information Marketers, and serves as Vice-Chair of IMC. Her new book, “S.O.B.-Spunky Old Broads Who Kick Butt” is in its second printing. She is the host of Entrepreneur Magazine’s Radio Show “Women in Business” and writes for the magazine as well. Gayle has been selected as a “2007 Legend of the Speaking Profession”.
