Previously, Gill worked for 13 years in BT in many roles including investment appraisal, procurement, marketing and internal consultancy. She was the first woman appointed to the BT Training Board. While at BT she gained her MBA from the London Business School.

Additionally, Gill has studied and taught different forms of movement. She has developed her own movement-based way of helping people transform the patterns that no longer seem to serve them. She draws on this work, experience and methodologies in the Next Level programme.

The essence of Gill’s approach is that she enables people to become more aware of what they do – usually in a work context. Armed with this awareness, she helps people transform what they currently do, in order to achieve new levels of outer success and inner satisfaction. This is a creative process which helps each of us grow into true leadership – leadership which is needed to navigate the many complex new realities we are facing.

She has worked in this way with many women through the Next Level and in other contexts, and has helped them make the transition between different roles and discover and enjoy little known aspects of themselves as they move through their lives.

Gill is married, with two grown-up step children and is the mother of two daughters aged 8 and 11. She knows from experience the issues arising from combining an entrepreneurial life and motherhood.
