Hi, I’m Gerri Newell — mediator, career coach, consultant, public speaker, and someone who believes deeply in helping people navigate life’s most pivotal transitions with clarity, confidence, and a little bit of humor.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of conflict resolution and personal transformation. I’ve mediated more than 1,000 matters — from complex disputes to delicate personal situations — always with the goal of fostering understanding, dignity, and forward movement. Whether you’re facing a major life change, a career shift, or a moment of reinvention, I bring both strategic insight and compassionate guidance to the table.

I’m also a TEDx speaker, a writer, a lifelong learner, and an experienced career coach who’s helped countless individuals rewrite their next chapter — after divorce, during career transitions, or simply when life calls for a reset.

Beyond the professional world, I’m a stand-up comedian (yes, really!), an avid cyclist for over 30 years, and a passionate lover of the outdoors. I’m also a proud mother of three and grandmother — roles that have grounded me in what truly matters.

Clients often tell me they feel seen, heard, and empowered after working with me. My approach is equal parts practical and human — because I believe growth doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and change doesn’t have to be scary.

Gerri is available for keynotes, panels, workshops, and podcast interviews, and is especially passionate about topics including:

• Navigating life after divorce or major change

• Reinventing your career at any stage

• Communication and conflict resolution in personal and professional life

• Humor as a tool for resilience and healing

• Women, leadership, and finding your voice
