Gabrielle Santa-Donato designs experiences that unlock the imagination and empower people to drive meaningful change.

Ready to get unstuck?

Whether you’re in the middle of a career or life transition, navigating ambiguity or need a team reboot, I can help you build the skills you need to find clarity, get unstuck and create your own breakthrough with a hefty dose of joy and delight.

  • From conferences and retreats to team dinners and off-sites, I specialize in crafting unforgettable experiences that inspire people to think beyond the status quo and reconnect with what matters most to them. No matter your goal or budget, I can work with you to design an event or experience that leaves participants feeling enriched, equipped, delighted, and in-community.

  • From off-the-shelf experiences to on-demand facilitation, I can work with you to design a highly interactive experience that builds belonging while equipping your people with the skills they need to succeed -- in person, hybrid or virtually. While every workshop is unique, some of the topics that I regularly explore with teams are inclusive leadership, product retrospectives, culture and communication, design thinking, designing your life and career, and more.

  • Harnessing the power of design thinking, I’ll help you navigate life’s most critical moments with curiosity and creativity. Whether you’re going through a career transition, facing burnout or want to tap into your true calling, I’ll work with you to chart your way forward with action and intention. I currently offer both individual sessions (8 sessions minimum) and dynamic group coaching (4-5 sessions).

  • Leveraging over a decade of experience working at Stanford, Airbnb and beyond, I regularly speak at conferences and events on topics like culture, leadership and life design. No matter the stage, I weave humor and authenticity together to deliver messages from the wisdom of helping thousands of leaders and students around the world navigate life’s messy problems.
