She is a former columnist for The Dallas Morning News.[6]

Early life and education

Gill was born in New York and raised in Mandarin, Florida.[1] She was one of six children and the daughter of a psychiatrist.[1][5] She attended California State University, Long Beach and earned a degree in theater.[1]

Career

In 1995, she was appointed to senior vice president of media relations at the

Sony Pictures Entertainment for fifteen years before founding Libby Gill & Company, an executive coaching and consulting firm, in November 2000.[8] Her clients include AMC Networks, Avery Dennison, CA Technologies, Disney-ABC, Kellogg's, Microsoft, PayPal, Wells Fargo, and others.[9]

She began writing about her experiences as an executive and teaching at a local university.[5] She has also taught at California State, Northridge.[10] She authored four books and shared her experiences in Time,[11] The New York Times,[12] and The Wall Street Journal.[13]

Stay-At-Home Dads (2001) was written about her family's experiences when she was making more money than her husband and they decided he would be a stay-at-home dad.[14] After ten years of her husband being the primary caregiver in the house, she wrote the book.[15] The journal, Adolescence, called it a "step by step blueprint for transitioning into a stay-at-home-dad family."[16]

Traveling Hopefully: How to Lose Your Baggage and Jumpstart Your Life (2005) includes personal stories from her own childhood traumas.[17] In 2010, Gill's book You Unstuck: Mastering the New Rules of Risk-taking in Work and Life (2009) won an Independent Publishers Award in 2010.[18] She earned a silver award and was tied with Leanne Cusumano Roque who wrote Live Light: Simple Steps.[19]

Gill was the media consultant for the

Dr Phil television show.[5] The Desert Sun called her "the brains behind the Dr. Phil show."[20]

Personal life

Gill lives in Medford, Oregon with her husband, attorney David Stern, and is the mother of two sons.[21]
