My clients say the nicest things
“I started coaching with Gemma in 2021 and she has been brilliant at providing me space to think and reflect on our HR priorities as well as provide space to think deeply about the outcomes I am looking to achieve with specific priorities. Coaching has been an absolute lifeline during what has been a fairly intense 12 months in a new role and it’s these coaching sessions with Gemma that given me capacity to just stop, pause and think about what’s happening around me, what needs more attention, where I need to change my approach and what I can do differently. Gemma has also been a great sounding board for me especially when it can be a fairly lonely role.”

She helped me refine delegation within my team, guided me in organizing my time better and bringing out the best in myself during challenging moments.”

A bit about me
People fascinate me – they always have, so it’s no surprise that my career in Human Resources spans more than 20 years. Over that time I’ve got the t-shirt – from working on the frontline and getting the HR basics in place, to taking a seat at the boardroom table as a strategic partner and confidante to the CEO.
Now, as a freelance HR Coach & Consultant, I’m here to share my skills and experiences with you to help you get the most out of your people and improve your business results.
