About Us
About
Gemma Foord
Founder
My passion lies in empowering leaders and entrepreneurs to unlock their true capabilities and achieve lasting results.
Having coached and mentored a wide range of colleagues through my two decades working in businesses, I have run UK sales teams on the Agent side and for workspace operators holding Directorship level positions and C-suite roles during my career.
Now, with a foundation in masters level psychology and behavioural training, my dedication is to help others achieve fulfilment and make meaningful strides towards key goals.
I work with a range of clients, including entrepreneurs and existing and emerging business leaders. Sales leaders, marketing functions, HR teams, senior leadership teams and self-funding executives who are navigating change.
At the heart of my approach is continually monitoring and evaluating our effectiveness to help you and your business prosper in an ever-changing work environment.
Style and Approach
A blend of compassion, curiosity and cutting-edge psychological insight.
Exploratory Style:
I approach coaching as a journey of exploration, rather than a ridged roadmap. Working on both inner and outer world awareness to clarify goals and aspirations.
Action-Oriented:
I focus on working with senior leaders who are driven to achieve specific goals at pace. Coaching isn’t just about introspection; it’s about taking concrete steps towards tangible outcomes. JMIL framework for Leaders
Person-Centred:
Central to my coaching philosophy is the belief that you, the client, is the expert in your own life. We work in partnership, honouring perspectives and experiences.
Solution-Focused Tools:
Aimed at helping clients explore their thinking and unlock their potential such as positive psychology techniques. Also informed by a psychodynamic understanding of rooted patterns and unconscious processes, helping clients uncover and address underlying issues that may be holding them back.
Reappraisal and Reframing:
A key aspect of my coaching is supporting clients in reappraising and reframing their experiences, empowering the shift in perspectives to create positive change.
Evolutionary Neuroscience:
Brain function and how it impacts behaviour. Neuroscience informs our work, helping clients better understand their own brains and develop self-directed strategies for growth.
