Speaker Bio

Dr. Gabrielle Wallace knows intimately what it means to rebuild from burnout. To lead while still healing. To create structures capable of holding both complexity and compassion.

She’s not just a speaker or author—she’s a systems thinker with a spiritual heartbeat. A researcher whose personal breakdowns became breakthroughs. A seasoned project manager who constructs frameworks as restorative as they are effective.

Over the past decade, Gabrielle has guided over 70 organizations and visionary leaders through deep transition, cultural repair, and meaningful transformation. But before she could guide others, she walked the hard road herself: a relentless educator and leader navigating toxic workplaces, confronting personal and professional trauma, surviving profound loss, health struggles, and emotional depletion, all while learning to rebuild—emotionally, spiritually, and systematically.

In that rebuilding, Gabrielle developed the Thrive Model—a five-part framework for operations rooted deeply in wellness, alignment, and integrity. She translated her lived experience and meticulous research into Wallace CG Solutions, Inc., a wellness and culture agency designed to help teams build sustainable systems that don't burn out the human beings within them.

She went further, founding THE HE∆LTHY LE△DER™, a thoughtful brand and product line that reminds leaders that soft can be strategic, wellness can be operational, and vulnerability can coexist with authority.

In her first book, The Courage to Build: Leadership Lessons to Thrive in Changing Times and When Time Is Running Out, Dr. Wallace has written a manifesto for visionary leaders—part strategy guide, part spiritual anchor—grounded in her own story of faith, clarity, trauma-informed care, and rebuilding resilience.

Dr. Wallace’s teaching and workshops have become safe harbors for high-capacity leaders navigating overwhelm, grief, neurodivergence, purpose, and spiritual awakening. She has clarified strategies for executive teams, designed scalable product lines, launched multi-program portfolios, and offered quiet, catalytic spaces for transformation.

She doesn't just talk about change. She embodies it—honestly, vulnerably, and strategically.

Dr. Gabrielle Wallace is the proof that your life story can restore community, and your rebuild is liberation.
