COaching, mentoring & consultancy with gillian
Leadership experienced through relationship.
Whether you are leading change, managing complexity, or making difficult decisions, your effectiveness depends on how you connect, build trust, and influence others. I work with senior leaders and executives to strengthen self-understanding and relational leadership, enabling them to navigate organisational dynamics with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.
The Relational Influence Framework™
How I coach
Coaching focuses on three areas: who you are as a leader, how you lead through relationships, and the impact you want to have.
One
Self understanding
Understanding how you are wired, what drives you, and how you show up, especially under pressure.
Two
Relational leadership
Build trust quickly, read organisational dynamics, navigate competing agendas, and influence without relying on authority.
Three
Future & impact
Clarifying direction, strengthening decision-making, and defining the long-term impact you want to have.
Ways to work together
Executive coaching
A structured coaching relationship for senior leaders who want to sharpen how they think, relate, and lead. Grounded in the Relational Influence Framework.
Mentoring
A more directive relationship for leaders stepping up into senior roles or navigating a significant transition. Draws on direct experience at executive level in the NHS.
Leadership consulting
Targeted support for organisations: leadership team development, stakeholder strategy, service redesign, and interim senior leadership through periods of change.
The whole process was incredibly supportive, appropriately challenging, and after each session I had really gained in terms of personal development.

Start with a conversation
If you are considering coaching, mentoring, or consulting support, the best place to start is a conversation. I offer an initial, no-obligation discussion to understand what you are looking for and to explore whether we would work well together.
