Gill is a professionally qualified coach whose coaching practice and experience span across organization levels, generations and cultures; and with experience of designing and delivering coach training programmes for different purposes within different industry sectors.
As a coach she draws on a range of approaches, tools and techniques that she aims to use appropriately and always in the service of the client. Her philosophy is underpinned by various approaches, the main one being based on Gestalt psychology. Gill’s focus is to help clients understand their current issues and challenges and to help them discover what may be preventing them from achieving their future goals and aspirations whilst at the same time helping them to acknowledge their past experience, as appropriate.
Gill is the Course Director and a tutor for the Diploma in Coaching (DIC) and when required, she also teaches on the Certificate in Coaching Program (CIC) delivered through the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), Madingley Hall, University of Cambridge, UK. For the previous 5 years, she was deeply involved in the world of coaching whilst teaching Human Behaviour in Organisations at the Asian Institute of Management, (AIM) in Manila, Philippines.
In addition to her coaching work, Gill has developed an additional focus for her consultancy business with Level Seven, that helps teams and organisations to solve complex problems by applying design thinking. She finds that many of the principles that underpin design thinking are relevant to coaching.
The subject of Gill’s PhD was the development of intuition within the context of the management problem-solving process. She now recognises, appreciates and values the role of intuition in the context of coaching.
Her downtime pursuits include learning the violin, the Argentine tango and visiting art galleries (but not all at the same time!)
