Gayle Burnett

Author and Consultant, Inter-Change Consultants

Gayle Burnett is the co-author of Peace in Everyday Relationships (Hunter House Publishers, 2003) which provides information, practical tools and real life examples to support readers in the development of conflict resolution skills within diverse environments. From 1990 to the present, she worked with a wide array of clients, including Ernst & Young, Lucent Technologies, AT&T and the NCAA, to support increased understanding and effectiveness amongst their employees.

Gayle's career choices have also been diverse, as an assistant vice president and analyst for a Wall Street clearinghouse bank, she worked in the international markets of Singapore, Australia and London. There, she gained a first hand understanding of the subtle difference between people that can create misunderstanding, conflict and poor performance. She was a past partner and principal of Inter-Change Consultants and was the Atlanta Coordinator for the National Resolving Conflict Creatively Program, where she expressed her commitment to ending violence and racism in the world. She currently serves as a researcher for the Atlanta Public Schools.

Gayle holds an MA from City University of New York in economics, and has done post-graduate studies at New York University in finance and at Columbia University’s Teachers College in counseling psychology.
