Meet Randi Gorton

---

I was born and raised on Long Island with my parents and four siblings, where my husband and I raised our three children and still live today.  Myself and my three sisters all married our high school sweethearts and all, including my one brother and parents, still live within a few short miles of each other. 

I spent most of my childhood, into my early adult life battling with my weight. I was so self conscious about being the “fluffy” sibling, friend and girl.  And the funny thing is, now when I look back at photos of “that girl”, I think to myself…what was I thinking? If the younger me learned what I teach others to believe in today, would my life have been different?  

My young years, as early as 10 years old, I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting and continued on and off through my mid to late 20’s when it was then that I decided I was going to work there.

I think about all those conversations everyone has with their kids about what they want to be when they grow up.  Never in a million years would any parent guess their child would say….”I want to be a Weight Watcher Leader!” Well it happened, I was a Weight Watchers Leader!  And also a Weight Watchers Executive Secretary, District Assistant and Territory Manager.  And in all those positions, I brought my heart and soul into every bit of them. It was then I realized my passion was helping people.  I created safe spaces for sharing and  vulnerability and helped to create a community that people craved each week.  I also brought that passion to my staff.  I  provided feedback with positive intent, helping to guide them to bring their best self into their own meetings. Giving them confidence to not  be afraid to be flexible and meet each member where they were at.  Reminding them to bring their true authentic self to their work.  And help them to realize that this work should not be scripted, but one that supports each member individually with their unique challenges.  Creating opportunities to elevate experiences is my true strength and my whole being.  

This vision and passion to elevate any experience to excellence follows me wherever I am.  When we travel, I am always looking for the small shifts that the hotel, resort or staff  can make with little to no cost to improve the experience.  Dining, shopping and any customer facing experience has me looking through this lens. 

I have almost three decades of experience coaching people, developing teams and creating high performing results.  I am ready to bring it to you through 1:1 Coaching, group coaching (both virtually and in-person) and through monthly IRL (in real life) events. 

Let’s explore how I can help you elevate any experience to excellence!
