GAIL TAYLOR BIOGRAPHY
Gail Taylor is a true testament to the extraordinary power of reinvention and embracing new passions at any stage of life. Having achieved remarkable success as an Investment Advisor, Gail embarked on an incredible second act that has seen her evolve into a prolific songwriter, motivational speaker, and philanthropic force. Her unwavering commitment to personal growth and making a difference in the world has garnered her well-deserved admiration and respect.
After a fulfilling career in finance, Gail Taylor found herself at a crossroads at the age of 65. Rather than settling into retirement, she fearlessly chose to step out of her comfort zone and pursue a deep-rooted passion for encouraging others through songwriting and personal stories. With determination, Gail embraced her new creative path and embarked on an entertaining journey that has transformed her life and inspired countless others.
Gail’s philanthropic spirit remains a guiding force in her life. She continues to dedicate her time and resources to various causes close to her heart. Recognizing the importance of mental well-being, she has become a vocal supporter of mental health initiatives, using her platform to raise awareness, challenge stigmas, and promote a compassionate and understanding society. Gail Taylor co-founded the Edmonton Mental Health Foundation, an active organization that is dedicated to building an accessible, integrated, and easy-to-navigate addiction & mental health system in Alberta. She currently supports the McDougall House, a second-stage home for women in recovery.
Over the years she participated in raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local and international communities. She held director and trustee positions on several boards including the University Hospital Foundation, Junior Achievement of Northern AB and NWT, and CASA (Child and Adolescent Services Association).
Gail’s passion for music and philanthropy has brought her into collaborations with exceptional musicians, such as the renowned Edmontonian Danny Hooper, musician Mallory Trunnell (of Crimson Calamity) from Nashville, and the esteemed Canadian singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson. These collaborations have allowed Gail Taylor to create powerful, soul-stirring music that resonates with a global audience. She continues to release new music and focuses her energy on projects that make a difference and leave a mark on the world.
Gail’s journey has had many challenges as she pivoted from a high school drop out with a substance abuse lifestyle to achieving her ultimate dream life.
While working full time Gail Taylor also spent decades educating herself, acquiring a Certified Investment Management Analyst designation through IMCA at Wharton University, an MBA from Queens University, and completed executive training in Micro-Finance at Harvard Business School. She became a Vice President at CIBC Wood Gundy and received several awards over the years for her continuous success. She has also received the Paul Harris Award from Rotary International.
Gail Taylor authored and published a financial book “YES, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!” in 2000 to use as a textbook for a course she taught for University of Alberta’s Faculty of Extension. Investors heard her approach from her speeches and became lifelong clients.
She has been inspiring and educating folks from the stage for over thirty years which has played a big role in her success.
