Testimonials
Ephraim Schachter President, Schachter Consulting LLC Founder & CEO, CSuite Accelerator Inc.
The administrative and operations support provided by Gale and her organization has been key to the success and growth of our businesses, Schachter Consulting LLC and CSuite Accelerator Inc. for almost fifteen years now. They help us with business development, client relationship tracking and management, calendar management, document prep, and production, as well as assistance with our online platform.
What truly distinguishes them, though, is the manner in which they do it. They consistently demonstrate professionalism, judgment, and an earnest commitment to our clients. Their impact has been to help us convey to the marketplace the premier caliber of our services. I highly recommend them.

Deb Denis President, Deb Denis Group
Gale Branch and Branch Strategic Solutions have made a difference in my practice. When we began our work together, she said, “Just make a list of the things you don’t enjoy doing for your business, and I’ll do them.”
Taking over the administrative and operations tasks I don’t enjoy, this made room for me to do what I love: more executive coaching. In the 7 years of working together, my business has grown substantially, and I look forward to even more growth in the years ahead. Working with Gale really does contribute to business growth.
Nicky Westhead
Chief Pioneer Founder, arloesan
Global Executive and Leadership Advisory Firm
My first experience of Gale Branch was being part of an executive coaching team for a complex, client engagement. Gale offered the team of Coaches an interface of communications, logistics, and project management with the client that I had never experienced before.
Fast forward to three years later, Gale brings a strategic thought partnership to my business and client operations. Beyond the essentials of client excellence, she is a sounding board, an advisor for client engagements, and a project manager for programmatic events and clients delight in her style.
The nuances of being a founder and entrepreneur bring many challenges; Gale is both a support and a challenger and often coaches me to focus on my priorities and elevate my game! It helps that we can bring a spirit of humour, camaraderie, and a mutual love of travel, gardens, good food, and wine into our partnership!

This organization offers a breadth of services few companies can match, and they do so with proficiency and integrity. I am extremely confident having them represent me to patients and other professionals. They provide the flexibility small business owners need, and find no job too big or too small.

Jim Leming Managing Partner, Global Coaching Firm
You may think of a virtual administration service as being focused just on the day-to-day operational support required to run a business. Gale Branch certainly provides that – attention to detail, highly professional communications with clients, budget management support, calendar management and those all-important “nudges” to ensure we stay on track and attend to priorities, among other administrative needs.
But she does even more as she takes an ownership in her contribution to our business, contributing to strategic planning and the bigger picture around execution, and sometimes asking that key question that turns the conversation towards new thinking. The value she adds cannot be measured! I highly recommend her services.
Jill Chernekoff President, Chernekoff Communications, LLC

The exceptional administrative services that she provides have saved most of our time for strategy planning and development, and to focus on our most precious asset, our clients. I highly recommend Gale Branch and her team.
