What People Say

  • “Our team was falling short of its potential both collectively and individually.  The sessions/workshops that you developed and facilitated enabled our team to raise, identify and discuss the issues and processes that were hindering development, and develop agreed communication and trust and build a picture of the team’s and individuals’ aspirations going forward.  There have been immediate tangible positive results as we progress along the path to our goals.  Without your support and insights, we would still be looking for that path.”

    CFO, Government

  • “Your unique combination of high emotional intelligence, warmth, and business acumen effectively facilitated both corporate and human transitions in organisations that are disrupted due to change. The efficiency and effectiveness of our transition would not have been possible without your expertise and skill.”

    Board of Director, Health Sector

  • “My work with you in the coaching was rich in reflection, challenging thinking and active mentoring.  It has recalibrated assumptions I had about leadership in general and about myself as a leader. I now feel so much more self-aware as I work with others, I’m confident in my role as a member of a leadership team, and a spark of ambition has been lit to explore the next steps in my professional journey.”

    Director, Education Sector

  • “It has been a privilege to work with Gwen and her team. The work gave us a clear way forward as we strive for inclusive communication, leadership from the heart, trusting relationships, brave conversations and the courage to change in a considered manner. Your personalities, values and manner of working were in complete harmony with the values and ethos of our school.
