Hi, I’m Gayle Kalvert.
I haven't figured it all out.
I've just refused to stop.
Founder & CEO of Creo Collective
Host of Work In Progress and Marketing in Progress
Speaker, founder, and host helping women build the career and life they want — while they're still in the middle of it.

Bring me to your stage
I built a 25-year career through chronic migraines, postpartum depression, and pressure that never fully let up. Then I started her own company at 44 and had to rebuild it from scratch while navigating a divorce alone. I’m not on the other side of it yet, and that's exactly why your audience will trust me.
Come as you are
You're a woman juggling ambition, money, relationships, and life — and you're tired of pretending you have it together. Work in Progress is where we talk about all of it. Honestly. No filters.
I'm the mom of three teenagers who somehow still think I'm cool enough to talk to (most of the time). Like so many women, I'm raising kids and taking care of my parents at the same time. And yes, I'm navigating a divorce. It was the hardest decision I've ever made and also the most liberating. I’m starting my life over at 48, which is terrifying and completely worth it at the same time.
I'm also a founder, a speaker, a podcast host, and someone who has spent 25 years in boardrooms convincing very serious people to take marketing seriously.
When I'm not building things, I'm under the stars, at the beach, or spending time with the people I love.
I'm not on the other side of anything.
I'm right here, in the middle of it. Just like you. I can't wait to meet you and hear your story.

Grow your business with Creo Collective
You lead marketing at a B2B technology company or public sector organization, and you need marketing that actually moves the needle — not vanity metrics, but pipeline, revenue, and measurable growth. That's what we build.

If the pressure, the pivots, and the moments on the bathroom floor feel familiar – you're exactly who I'm here for.
Whether you're building a business, navigating a life transition, or just looking for someone who will tell you the truth about what it actually takes, you’ve come to the right place. Not because I have all the answers. Because I’m in it, too. Let’s build something real, together.
Each week, I dive into the real stories behind the highlight reels — solo episodes and honest conversations about career, money, motherhood, ambition, and identity. Because life isn’t polished. It’s a work in progress.
“Work In Progress” is a podcast for women juggling a lot — and wondering if they’re the only ones barely holding it together. Spoiler: You’re not.
