Testimonials
What Gillian Wright’s clients are saying…
“Gill is a very astute Coach, very quickly gaining an understanding of what makes us ’tick’ and how to help each individual make progress. She is a pleasure to work with and highly regarded by myself and all of my team. But don’t let that fool you! Gill can and will be challenging and direct, as needed, to maintain focus and help individuals to perform.
Everyone in Smoking Gun PR has developed professionally, there is greater understanding and empathy in our team; resulting in a positive impact on the whole organisational growth.”
“After completing 2 training courses, Gill has contributed significantly to my growth as a Manager. Gill has taken me well and truly out of my comfort zone, but in doing that, I have now become a more focused, successful, results-led Manager, who continues to grow with the support and advice Gill gives.”
“Before receiving coaching from Gill I was struggling to gain the skills and self-confidence to progress my career. I knew where I wanted to be but no idea of how to get there. Having attended a free seminar, then enrolled on Mentor Corporate Coaching’s (Gill’s previous company) Personal Excellence and Results Centred Leadership Programmes. The courses and coaching exceeded all my expectations, with changes made following the course being long-lasting. I became General Manager of our company earlier this year. Gill’s years of experience and skill coupled with her personal attributes of high emotional intelligence, empathy and compassion provide the perfect balance to help reach your full potential in both your professional and personal life.”
“I have been a ‘student’ of Gill for a long time – she has been coaching me for over 10 years! I would highly recommend her if you want to make progress in your job, career, business, personally.“
“Over the last two years, I have been involved with coaching from Gill for various projects. Without a doubt, the biggest benefit has been Gill’s consistently empowering coaching and her natural ability to hone in on any mental blocks that were stopping me from making my vision happen. And whilst her business acumen is as sharp as it gets, as a business coach, it is her empathy for a person and her ability to read between the lines that helped me to achieve the goals I had set.”
“I have worked with Gillian for more than 2 years and the training has been beneficial to my role and the business, but the follow up support has been second to none. Training is great but putting things into practise and using the tools provided requires support and this is what Gillian specialises in.”
“Mentor Corporate Coaching (which Gillian was MD of before setting up an independent coaching consultancy) is different to other companies in their field insofar as they show a genuine interest in the people they are coaching and also spend time understanding the organisation they are working for. This combination provides trust for the employee and allows Mentor to coach knowing not only what the employee needs, but also the business expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Gillian to other organisations looking to improve individuals and company performance.“
“Gill is very compassionate and understanding but now that I am in the right frame of mind Gill is being assertive with me to concentrate on what I need to achieve with my business. With her guidance and coaching, I have been able to internally promote a member of my team, developed the management skills needed to make this new role work, giving me more time to concentrate on strategic business areas. I have signed up for another 12 months of coaching sessions and I am looking forward to developing my business, I know that Gill will keep me on the right track for achieving this.”
“It’s over three years since I started working with Gillian when she was MD of Mentor Corporate Coaching. I was invited to one of their breakfast seminars and it was well worth attending as it made me think about things differently. I have over the last three years attended several Mentor seminars/courses and workshops and I truly attribute my professional development to attending these course. Gillian is a fantastic mentor and is always available with supportive advice when required. If you are looking to develop yourself, your staff or grow your business speak to Gillian – she will help you to break down the barriers that are stopping you from moving forward.”
