” Having worked in the public sector for a decade my experience of the supervision process had felt a punitive one as it focused on the things I wasn’t doing rather than helping my development to ensure I worked in a more proactive way.  As my new manager, Gayle introduced a coaching process into my supervision sessions and, over time, through her thought-provoking questions and structured coaching approach, I gained clarity on my strengths, improved my leadership skills and successfully achieved a middle manager’s role. I highly recommend Gayle as a coach to help you develop your strengths and work on your leadership style.“

Carol, Probation Service

“Gayle had been commissioned by our team to help my development as a new manager. She had excellent listening skills which enabled me to be open and honest about my anxieties. Over 6 sessions she helped me identify my communication style, build my leadership skills, develop a plan of action for the changes I wanted to employ and evaluate my strengths/areas I wanted to work on. Gayle’s guidance felt collaborative but focused which helped me undertake my work with an understanding of what I wanted to achieve and why. Gayle will be a real asset for you/your team in helping you progress as she will work with you but get you to think ‘outside the box’ too.“

Jacqui NHS Project Manager.

“Gayle worked with me as part of a civil service initiative to help final year students prepare for entering the workplace. Her professional experience of working in a range of settings over several decades along with her experience as a university student helped her understand the challenges I was facing. Gayle is empathic and able to understand other people’s feelings without negatively judging them. Her style is goal focused and she is consistent in her approach whilst being open without making assumptions. I met with her on a monthly basis and she supported me gaining voluntary work which helped me build a comprehensive CV and narrow down the type of work I wanted to go into based on my developing skills. Gayle will help you identify your goals by being genuinely interested in you and wants you to achieve your potential through her support.“

Ruby, final year BSc Psychology student

“Gayle clearly cares about her clients and has a genuine drive to help you develop to be the best version of yourself. I was working in a new leadership role, which was very challenging. I had a great deal of anxiety as I was worried I was not up to the role. Before our sessions, I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of my next steps. Through Gayle’s guidance, I gained clarity, built confidence, and developed practical strategies that I now use every day. What I appreciate most is how Gayle truly listened, challenged me when I needed it, and celebrated every win along the way.Through a warm, empathetic approach Gayle helped me develop confidence inmyself to become a strong leader who is self-aware, able to lead others and able todeliver when needed. If you feel you need some direction and a safe space todevelop yourself as a leader, I would highly recommend Gayle as she will empower you to do this.”
