Hi, I’m Gabrielle

MEET YOUR COACH

I’m an executive coach from South London, working primarily with senior leaders in the workplace, as well as the occasional Founder, CEO, or Entrepreneur.

My whole life, I’ve been fascinated by two questions:

  • What makes people tick?

  • What’s the difference between getting what you want from life or not?

Growing up across time zones and cultures, I quickly learned that things work differently in different places. This sparked my deep interest in authenticity, behaviour, and how people adapt (or lose themselves) within their surroundings.

With over a decade of working in corporate leadership, I understand the nuances of leadership dynamics, promotions, and stakeholder influence. As a qualified HR professional, coach, and consultant, I’ve designed and managed leadership programmes and talent processes, including promotion pathways, HiPo programmes, and leadership succession planning at organisations like Harrods, RSA, and Dunnhumby. So I’ve got experience on both sides of the table.

Now, I help senior leaders who want to achieve success on their terms without compromising who they are.

A little more about how I operate…

  • We might work well together if you know you have issues setting boundaries and pushing back, you're not sure what your next step might be or if you have a touch of imposter syndrome. I'm really good at helping people cut through the noise and go from feeling overwhelmed to getting a clear sense of direction and a new perspective.

    We’ll work well together if you're keen to develop your own style of management and leadership that feels authentic to you, gives you the results that you're after and a reputation you are really proud of.

    The luxury of coaching is it gives you time and space to talk things through with someone who has no agenda - so my only goal in this process is to help you transform into the leader you want to be and achieve success in your role.

  • If you’re an L&D/ OD Manager or Director, the services I offer are proven and designed for:

    • Those who want a different kind of support for HiPo leaders, succession candidates, or recently promoted leaders or executives.

    • When the issue is deeper than attending a generic leadership programme or conference

    • Developing an understanding that leadership is about behaviour, and goes beyond technical skills

    • Organisations who want to help their leaders build the confidence to step up and lead

  • We are a values and purpose-led organisation at Team GF. Below are some of the values that I consider most important and inform how I work with clients and organisations: 

    • Growth & Learning

    • Optimism

    • Excellence & High Standards

    • Wellness & Balance

    • Integrity & Respect

    Do we have some in common? Get in touch if you’d like to know more about working together.

Hear from me

Listen to my podcast episode on the Overwhelmed & Over it podcast (with another Gabs!), where I discuss the moment I realised that corporate success was taking me further from what I loved and how one question changed everything about my approach to business and leadership.

It’s a great place to start if you’re curious about working with me and want to find out a little more about my background.

  • "I come in peace, but I mean business!"

    — Janelle Monae

  • Do you remember who you were before you put the mask on?

    — Me!

  • Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

    — Steve Jobs

My purpose

WHY I LOVE DOING THIS

I don’t just talk about leadership—I’ve lived it. My coaching is grounded in real-world leadership experience and behaviour change science. Having been on both sides of the table—as a senior leader myself and as the one running internal talent and leadership development—I know what it takes to expand, to influence, and to succeed. The key is getting clear on your own identity first so we can harness the power of it. Let’s put aside the job title, the pressure, and the imposter syndrome.

And that’s what I’d love to help you do if you’re reading this!
