I coach individuals and teams who care about their purpose, people and place around them. People who want to maximise the impact of their presence and relationships, to create new and better possibilities in their careers, work and lives.

Leadership coaching will help you understand yourself and your own patterns better. You’ll be able to see yourself more clearly, in relation to others and in different situations. It will help you identify and work on areas for growth, drawing on the strengths and sometimes hidden power of being more you!

My approach to coaching is energising and supportive, tailored to your needs and style with clear and practical actions designed to achieve your ambition and goals. I will help you to:

  • Deepen your impact and influence as a leader

  • Feel more confident and resourced to better navigate transitions, complex and uncertain situations

  • Strengthen your resilience, sense of wellbeing and fulfilment, being more intentional in how you use your energy and time

  • Improve and expand inclusive and diverse relationships with colleagues, peers and clients

  • Feel more dynamic in how you lead on change and transformation at work and in the world

  • Identify, reach, and thrive in your next step.

My approach to team coaching and facilitation will help you to identify and work with the patterns that support your performance. I’ll help you build the relationships, behaviours, habits and ways of working together that will enable your team to:

  • Feel more connected, productive and energised with a stronger sense of belonging, resilience and wellbeing

  • Get clear on your vision and strategy

  • Experience a greater foundation of trust, drawing on the strengths of diversity and inclusion

  • Be more creative and innovative, continuously learn and become more agile and productive

  • Grow more confident in having difficult conversations, engaging in constructive feedback, and healthy conflict

  • Operate better through change, complexity and uncertainty.

Our coaching work together begins with a conversation to discover what you’re looking for and what brings out the best in you and your team, so that we can build an approach that works uniquely for you.

In helping you explore, understand, and act on the issues you’re facing; I work with you as a whole person or team and the environment in which you’re operating.

I bring a style that is informal, positive, practical, compassionate, and energising, so that you feel safe to name, talk about and work with both the patterns that are tripping you up and those that are serving you well.

In supporting you to move forward, I help you tap into the wisdom and strengths of your thoughts, feelings, perspectives, actions, and behaviours.

You’ll feel really seen, deeply listened to, understood and supported.

I draw on thirty years working with leaders, teams and organisations globally, as well as a range of practical tools, theories and models including: Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Systemic Constellations, Growth Mindset, Diversity and Inclusion.

I partner with a unique network of highly experienced, multi-disciplinary and diverse coaches from around the world. Together, we help you find the coach and build the team that best meets your needs.

“As a coach, Gilly continues to be a figural presence for me, not only in my career, but in terms of how I see myself in the world. Gilly openly shares one’s path with patience, presence and joy. She has the uncanny knack of listening generously and shining a light on themes that are hard to see alone. Gilly made my path feel both worthwhile and possible, striking a unique balance between my dreams and the practical realities of making them happen. I count myself more complete for having met Gilly.” 

Director of Human Resources, Care Sector

“I’ve worked with Gilly on several occasions since 2014. The reason I keep returning (and recommending Gilly) is that she seems to be able to help me find the root of an issue whilst always putting my needs first. I always feel empowered and positive and feel I can move forwards afterwards. There have been several times when she has pointed out something that I hadn’t realised was an actual strength and I’ve applied ideas with more confidence than I would have. The results in my work have been really powerful.”

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead, Scientific Research and Engineering

“Gillian was incredibly professional, empowering and inclusive in her coaching style and approach. I valued being able to talk about mental health inequalities amongst black and minority ethnic service users with someone who really understood the issues and encouraged me to tell my own story.”
