PHOENIX, ARIZONA WELCOMES PERSONAL BEST® AND CEO, OLIVE GALLAGHER BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST.
Queen Creek, Arizona – Olive Gallagher, CEO of Personal Best, announced the relocation of the company headquarters today back to the Phoenix area.
“We’re excited to return to this majestic part of the country. I have such great memories of traveling here to consult with clients as well as lecture at Canyon Ranch Spa, particularly during the national tour for my first book, “A Simple Path to The Good Life™.” The desert light, the colors of the mountains encircling this expansive plain and the massive canopy of sky…it’s quite magical and inspires me every day, just as it did during my five wonderful, productive years living in Santa Fe writing a weekly syndicated column.”
Gallagher, ethicist and author, founded Personal Best in 1985 in Los Angeles and began consulting with CEO’s and senior teams to enhance productivity and be more accountable. She became an in-demand TV and radio guest, appearing on dozens of talk shows offering up fresh ideas about using power responsibly and managing change. In 1988, she created, produced and hosted her award-winning television show, “The Inner Bottom Line®”. A print column of the same name went into syndication in 2000 and then into first run in The Santa Fe New Mexican from 2002 – 2007. Olive then became the National Ethics columnist for examiner.com until 2014.
Personal Best clients have included professionals from Toyota, IBM, Coldwell Banker, Hilton, Avon, Executive Life, SAG, IDG, and Teleflora to name a few. She delivered keynotes for Pac Bell, P&G, Patelco, Western Athletic Clubs, the Forum for Corporate Directors, Patelco, and the Department of Labor as well as custom seminars and lectures for numerous university MBA programs.
“Over the years,” Gallagher noted, “while delivering services to executive teams, individuals would approach inquiring if I could work with them privately. That demand that swelled during Covid now fills a large portion of my time.”
“After a serious injury in 1996, Olive added a creative division of Personal Best, Creative Infusion. As creative director and senior copywriter, she went on to create successful campaigns for many clients including Gallo, Lucent Technologies and disney.com.
Named a Top 20 Coach of 2022 by the Coach Foundation, Olive believes during today’s climate of immense uncertainty that Personal Best’s services are needed now more than ever. “As we all face unpredictable levels of change in every quadrant of our lives, people require respectful, empathetic support during life and relationship transitions.”
Gallagher finished. “Life is stressful. We make lots of choices every day. And every choice carries a price. When the price you’re paying for the life you’re living gets too high, something has to give. I help my clients clarify what’s really going on, what they value most, and what to let go of or change in order to thrive and move forward.”
