| Gillian is well known and respected for her thoughtful, reflective way of
working with leaders who face diverse and often perplexing challenges. A major strength is her
capacity to be a sounding board for leaders as they clarify opportunities, make sense of the
uncertainties they have to embrace and accept the unknowabilities. |
| |
| Hence much of her work is "mentoring" leaders and "guiding" the individual
development of Chief Executives and senior staff, especially with multi-nationals based in the
UK, US, India, Singapore and South Africa, as well as governmental bodies engaged in
fundamental change. She also works with small and medium scale organisations in the private
sector, social entrepreneurs and the voluntary sector. |
| |
| Her advisory roles include the Archbishops' Council, the National School of
Government in the UK, the Scottish Executive, the National Defence University in Washington DC,
the Social Care Institute for Excellence, the Employers' Forum for Disability, the Community
Action Network. Her work with commercial concerns covers a wide spectrum that includes ICI, BA,
BP, BAA, ICI, Barclays, Nat West, Morgan Stanley, Lazard, Anglo American. |
| |
| Gillian has been a member of the Council of St George's House Windsor and is a
Fellow of the Windsor Leadership Trust. |
| |
| For twenty years she led bioss, a self-financing research
institute founded at Brunel University and oversaw its commercial repositioning in the late
nineties. |
| |
| She is the author of Career Path Appreciation, a method used across the world
for identifying the potential of people to make decisions in uncertainty. She has developed
models for practical understanding and addressing of individual and organisation issues such as
the Tripod of Workİ - a model of the conditions in which people at work can be confident and
competent; the Four Journeysİ - a way of thinking about the balance between work, private life
and personal development, and Knowledge Appreciation - a human approach to knowledge
management. |
