As a support organisation for the voluntary and community sector, it is a very lonely job being the Chief Officer. Gill was just what I needed - someone to talk to that understood the challenges but was not directly involved. She helped me reflect on managing all the conflicting priorities and reducing stress levels, dealing with challenging behaviours and staying confident, all the usual day-to-day issues that come up for most people. Gill uses a wide range of tools and techniques as well as an approach that makes her easy to talk to but at the same time challenging - she is a real professional and was an invaluable support to me during a difficult patch. Thanks Gill!
Anne Kidd, Chief Officer, Voluntary Action East Renfrewshire
I enjoyed the coaching sessions I had with Gill and gained a great deal from them � certainly much more than I anticipated. Not only did I develop a training plan for myself, I reassessed my strengths and weaknesses and thus career. As a bonus I also worked hard on my communication skills, improving my confidence and became increasingly relaxed in myself and my abilities. After following Gills mentoring, some guided reading, hard work and taking time out to do some deep thinking, I approached my manager to discuss my future and during this difficult and uncertain period of unprecedented cutbacks she is making my position permanent.
