Hi, I'm Luci Gabel

The world is changing at a record breaking pace.

You need tools for optimal performance that enable you to be calm, creative, confident, a next-level communicator, negotiator and motivator, make your best decisions, take care of yourself, and keep people around you happy.

That's where I help.

"Luci delivered more than expected, and my expectations were high. When we met for our first session, she engaged quickly and parsed through lots of new and disorganized information to identify and hone in on a critical thread to make quick progress and impact— she cut through a LOT of noise to make our time together beneficial to me; that was impressive."

What Clients Have Said

"Fresh, new and different.

Exciting and cutting-edge."

"After working with Luci, I eat better, I sleep better, I make better decisions, I make more money, I'm on top of my game, and I'm a better leader overall. I've tripled my income from last year, and it's only April."

Working with Luci got me thinking outside the box and led me to taking steps I hadn’t otherwise thought of taking.

As a result, my career opened up to greater promise, more earnings potential, and higher levels of growth than I imagined I might have at this juncture. I’m feeling strong, confident, and excited about my future.

Luci got me thinking and brainstorming in a way I wasn't used to. The next action I took was a phone call that changed my life.

I was 59 at the time. As a freelance entertainer, I now get work opportunities that the average person would miss out on, and they lead me to uniquely beneficial financial situations.

I live life for these exciting moments.

I was experiencing the most difficult challenge of my career with a new boss.

Out of the conversations Luci and I had, I was able to transform the challenge into an opportunity.

Ten months later, that same boss gave me the best performance review I’ve received in my entire career.

I Will Help You:

Optimize your leadership skills and practices.

Being a successful leader—someone others want to follow—takes more than reading, attending conferences or workshops. It takes practice.

I'll work with you personally, or you and your teams to improve and practice the skills necessary to be a good leader today.

Maintain your edge.

Leaders maintain an edge: to consistently be creative and innovative, make great decisions, communicate. We need to be motivational and inspirational.

I'll help you stay at the top of your game.

Hire me for a talk or workshop.

Create exceptional stamina.

The right personal habits will keep you physically and mentally strong—from your skin to your brain, right down to your DNA. This gives you an incredible advantage and puts you leagues in front of the rest.

One of many things I bring to the table that's different from others in the leadership space is knowledge and experience in health and optimal performance. Read some of the details in my book: Eat to Lead or watch one of my keynote talks.

About Me

I have years of experience in leadership, and optimal mental and physical performance.

Not an armchair theorist—I've held leadership positions around the world; I've worked in private companies and for the government; I've been an entrepreneur and VC-funded start-up founder; and I have experience across a wide spectrum of industries.

My leadership experience spans biotech, rehab centers, restaurants, health clubs, and spas. I've been an adjunct professor at two universities including SJSU and GWU School of Medicine.

I now enjoy being a speaker, author, and podcast host along with select consulting positions and one on one clients.

I also have a membership, for those who want community.

I've worked with people in all types of industries

including but not limited to engineering, technology, landscaping, health & fitness, medicine and entertainment.

I've helped individuals become better leaders from all sides—both inner and outward facing.

My leadership roles were in 5-star, white-glove, high-profile, highly detail-oriented businesses—where excellence and exceptionalism was the expectation. This is where I learned how to handle highly-stressful, high-profile situations, and motivated and trained others to work well under these conditions.

When performing in my health-professional roles I helped hundreds of people overcome illness and injuries, gain strength, lose weight, reverse age-related decline, become better athletes—and most importantly, gain more energy and personal power.

I used science-backed health habits along with leadership techniques that I lived and learned, to bring myself to the next level—in mental, physical, and personal, performance.

Now I teach others how to do this.

I work with people carry meaningful responsibility.
I put it all together to help you find your high-performance edge. Everyone is different, with different needs, schedules, lifestyles and work.

There's no cookie-cutter path and it's why my work with you (or you and your team) will be unique. Set up an appointment to talk about what you need. I'm always up for listening, and at the very least, we'll have a great conversation!

I've lived and worked internationally: New York City; Washington, DC; Honolulu, Hawaii; Silicon Valley; Seoul, South Korea; and Los Angeles. I love traveling and still do, which is why I love this online environment where I can help people wherever they are in the world.
