For Event Leaders
Gloria brings the preparation of a strategic partner and the presence of a seasoned keynote speaker—then shapes every engagement around the audience and the objective.
Every engagement is shaped around the people in the room and the outcome your organization needs. Grounded in strategy. Always intentional.
Audiences leave with standards, systems, and strategies they can put to work—not simply a temporary surge of inspiration.
From executive sessions to audiences of 10,000+, Gloria brings energy, connection, and strategic substance—without losing the human touch.
As the co-founder of a corporate event-planning company, Gloria understands the preparation, production, collaboration, and details behind the microphone.
Speaking & Training
Gloria’s expertise spans sales performance, leadership, team culture, and the personal skills and disciplines that sustain high performance. These featured areas are starting points for your event—not the limits of what she can deliver. She can draw from one or connect several for a keynote, workshop, executive session, podcast appearance, or virtual experience.
Sales Performance
Often tailored for sales kickoffs, revenue and business-development teams, direct-sales organizations, entrepreneur groups, and growth conferences.
Sustained sales performance is not a personality trait. It is built through clear standards, strategic conversations, disciplined activity, and consistent follow-through. Gloria connects those ideas to the sales environment and goals in front of the room.
Leadership & Culture
Often tailored for leadership conferences, national meetings, executive retreats, women’s leadership events, and team-development programs.
High-performing cultures are built through the standards leaders model, the systems teams can repeat, and the accountability that keeps performance from depending on one exceptional person. Gloria draws on her experience leading a global organization to make excellence more visible, transferable, and repeatable.
Personal Leadership & Performance
Often tailored for corporate leadership programs, women’s leadership events, association conferences, entrepreneur groups, and personal-performance stages.
High-capacity leadership requires more than professional skill. Gloria’s P.I.E.C.E. Framework gives audiences a practical way to examine the five areas that shape how they relate, decide, recover, and perform: People Skills, Income, Emotional Management, Confidence, and Energy.
The Experience Behind the Message
Gloria Mayfield Banks brings corporate sales experience, global organizational leadership, and firsthand event insight to the stage. She began her career in technology sales at IBM, where she became a top performer, and later earned her MBA from Harvard Business School. She went on to build and lead a record-breaking global organization and train leaders on six continents.
Having worked on both sides of the stage—including as co-founder of a corporate event-planning company—Gloria understands the assignment beyond the microphone: honor the objective, collaborate with the event team, command the room, and give the audience something they can use. That breadth allows her to shape each engagement around the people in front of her, instead of forcing every audience into the same presentation.
At IBM, Gloria sold multi-million-dollar enterprise systems in complex, long-cycle environments. Her Harvard Business School training sharpened the strategic thinking she brings to sales, leadership, and performance today.
Gloria rose to become Mary Kay’s #1 global earner within a sales force of 3.5 million and held that distinction for six consecutive years. She built and led an international organization of more than 12,000 consultants across eight countries.
Her leadership has been documented in a Harvard Business School case study; her authority was forged through lived experience. Gloria navigated dyslexia, survived domestic violence, and rebuilt as a single mother after divorce. She shares those experiences with candor, humor, and perspective.
Gloria’s event-planning experience gives her an operator’s respect for preparation, production, customization, and the working partnership that makes a high-stakes engagement successful.
Beyond the Stage
Across stages and industry gatherings, Gloria’s work has brought her alongside influential voices in business, leadership, media, and personal development.
