    Gemma was so positive, calm and insightful in our coaching sessions. She really helped me with practical ways to improve my confidence and better utilise my strengths at work.

    I have found Gemma to be a challenging, insightful and understanding provider of coaching services.  Her wisdom, clarity, and ability to see through the issues in order to identify and name causative factors, question personal motives and responses, and inspire a new set of behaviours, has been extremely helpful in improving personal and organisational performance

    I have had many coaches over the years who have provided feedback, direction and a pathway to individual and team success. Gemma was referred to me by a colleague as I was after some professional one on one training for an upcoming assignment. I found Gemma to be honest, robust and highly effective in not only the delivery of the coaching but also in clarifying the assignment scope, assessing my unique and specific needs and planning out the coaching I required. Gemma made a great deal of difference and I learned much about myself throughout the journey. I would highly recommend Gemma Munro for your specific coaching needs.

    Gemma is a highly skilled leadership coach who gets results. With both a pragmatic and engaging approach, she is able to guide leaders to make the necessary shifts to be the best leaders they can. We saw the results of Gemma’s coaching first hand in observing sustainable change in our leaders who participated in our pilot program as well as through direct feedback from participants. I would recommend Gemma for coaching at all levels of the organisation but especially at the leadership level

    I found the coaching sessions with Gemma to be invaluable. Gemma is highly professional and approachable and I immediately felt comfortable working with her. The coaching sessions helped me to reconsider and reflect on my strengths and interests as well as areas of my professional skill set that I wanted to improve. I was working in a busy and demanding role at the time and I found the sessions were almost a relief as they made me stop and think about what I was doing and where I wanted to go next with my career. The sessions did help inform my next career move and I have found myself in a fulfilling position as a result. I highly recommend Gemma as a professional coach

    Gemma is very warm, understanding and easy to talk with. She helped me gain a clearer view of my strengths and weaknesses, and helped to show me how what I saw as weaknesses, are actually positive attributes. I came away from our session feeling positive and more confident in myself.

    Until I started working with Gemma, it was like I had been lying dormant for many years. I had been suppressing fun, pleasure and life. In just three coaching sessions I have opened up into the person I know I am supposed to be. Gemma helped me to give myself permission to look after myself the way I look after other people. Before working with Gemma I felt like I had stopped – like I always had a heavy weight on me. I now feel like I’m moving forward. I have started my new business and I am looking at life with a sense of optimism.

    I have found the coaching program very valuable. The opportunity provided to reflect on my strengths and develop these to improve my effectiveness in the University were at times challenging, but as a result I feel that I have grown so much since the start of the coaching period. I have achieved both of my main objectives: to increase the responsibility and breadth of my role; and to expand my influence. Of the two I’m probably most excited by the second.

    Gemma has been a fantastic coach. Her energy and groundedness (a good combination) gave me the confidence to try different approaches and as a result change some of my behaviours, which has increased my influence within the University and made me a more effective leader. She has a very good understanding of the University’s culture which meant that we could just get on with the conversations instead of having to spend time explaining the context. I have a strong sense that what I have learnt will continue to be of benefit to me well into the future.

    Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the coaching program. It has been of enormous benefit to me and I would certainly recommend it to other senior leaders.
