It’s Time to Put More CAN in the World

Are you sick and tired of the excuses?

Tired of being told why you CAN’T?

Tired of hearing “oh no, it’s not possible?"

As Can-do-ologists, our mission is…

to help YOU bring more

CAN into your life and work

You’re here because deep down, you know you’re capable of more—but it feels like something’s holding you back. You’ve tried to push forward, to hit that next level, but no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.

And it’s not just about you—you want to see your team win, too. You want to inspire the people around you, at work and at home, to thrive. But let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like you’re the only one who truly gets it. The only one carrying the weight of the vision.

You wish you didn’t have to do it all alone.

You wish there was a space where you belonged—a community that didn’t just talk about growth but lived it. A group that sees your potential, meets you where you are, and supports you in stepping fully into the person and leader you’re meant to be.

And let’s be real: You’re tired of being told “no.”
No, it’s not possible.
No, you’re not enough.
No, you can’t have both success and balance.

But what if you could?
What if you had the right tools, the right people, and the right mindset to finally break through? What if you could stop chasing perfection and start creating real progress?

At Can-Do-ology, we get it because we’ve been there. And we’re here to help you move from “almost” to unstoppable. To give you the resources, support, and connection you’ve been craving—not just for you, but for your team, your family, and the future you’re building.

It’s time to stop settling. It’s time to rewrite the story. It’s time to see what’s truly possible when you put more CAN into your world.

“Let me keep this simple, if you want something done, get Denise on the case.”

— George Hofheimer, founder, Hofheimer Strategy Advisors


Can has always been a part of Denise’s vocabulary, and inspiring other Can-doers has become her passion.

She is an international bestselling author, professional speaker, and mentor on the power of change. During her tenure as the Chief Innovation Officer of the Filene Research Institute, she led the prestigious i3 (ideas, innovation, implementation) program throughout the United States and Canada. Most recently, Denise served as Chief Operating Officer at the Northwest Credit Union Association. Throughout her professional career, she has embraced—and inspired others to embrace—living with a can-do mindset. This can-do mindset has helped her and the teams she has led get the right things done with enthusiasm.

As with most Can-doers, Denise finds joy in empowering others to embrace the power of can like she has. In fact, she’s made it her life’s work to do so. She encourages everyone she meets to stand in their authentic power, realize that they can generate their own happiness, and supports leaders and organizations in creating a vibe that attracts Can-doers and retains them. Denise can’t harbor the can-do mindset for herself only. She has to share it. Well, she can share it, and she does. And in doing so, she’s built a passionate community of Can-doers.

 

Let’s Build a Can-do-et!

Denise loves stories . . . loves people . . . and loves telling people stories! In fact, she loves to create environments to harvest these stories and share her can-do stories with others through her empowering speaking engagements.

Here’s what they say…

  • “I’ve encountered few people as smart, optimist, and pragmatic as Denise Gabel. Her leadership and productivity advice on how to do great work without griping, even in difficult situations, is invaluable.”

    – Mark Levy, founder, Levy Innovation LLC

  • “Over the years, I’ve marveled at the power of Denise’s mindset, leading her to tackle obstacles and overcome challenges that many would find unsurmountable. How does she do it? With laser focus, a few laughs, and simply believing she can. Her storytelling mixed with practical applications empowers people to recognize and release whatever holds them back and unlock their inner optimism.”

    – Lori Hall, senior vice president, member experience, American Airlines Credit Union

  • “In an ever-changing world, people are looking for hope—and practical ways—to move forward. Denise’s can-do principles are relevant for individuals who believe they can create their future happiness and begin implementing them today. You ‘can’ do anything!”
