About Gemma

CHAMPION MINDSET WILL DELIVER CHAMPION REWARDS

Who is Gemma - I am a lover of life but in my work and approach I'm a practitioner that is a combined Mentor, Advocate, Educator, Trainer, Activist, Facilitator and Speaker. 


Experience formed from 24 years working across sectors such as education, social care, retail and community sectors. I have held middle leadership positions in most sectors. My IPI improvement framework was fostered from experience, both personally and professionally.


My areas of specialism are trauma-informed approaches, mental health awareness/support, mentorship, professional standards and youth and community engagement. 

My aim in life is to build better work practices, communities by getting individuals to connect to the way we perform both personally and professionally.

Compassion and challenge doesn't require money. It's requires care.

Since 2021, I have been working across projects in Retail, NHS and Policing training, facilitating and coaching to improve work delivery.  Working in public sectors, my compassion led my practice. Respect and Dignity were mutual.

I came across the 7 principles of public life in my freelance work, and this is where I believe the dots are not connected as they could be in our sectors.

  • My first question, are your employees aware of this?
  • My next one is does this shine through within your organisation culture?

People - Processes - Performance

People first always

When ever they are failings, it's often because the processes are not followed. High-performance does not happen because you show up, that is the bare minimum. Times are changing, we need agile individuals that can balance people and policy.

What I can bring into your organisation

Youth engagement and understanding the complexities in family

Leadership - not getting lost in the pressure and demand

Trauma-Informed Practice and Finding the balance with mindfulness

Mentoring and Coaching getting the basics right

Work practice that is for and with, not to the people you serve.

IMPACT AT THE CENTRE OF MY WORK

See what others say

I am about the outcome. Facilitation offers a non-judgemental space to guide collective learning. Being able to bring my coaching approaches, active listen skills, I am able to hear more than what words say. Body language, group interaction and moral are vital for the training and performance outcomes.

Life was never easy - I tried to end it at 12! Adversities were a part of my early childhood and not understanding the impact almost cost me the best gift which is life. At 32, Little Gem connected to Big Gem, the best decision I ever made. Building tools and concepts to guide my life is where change came. Often we think we can reach our full potential alone, but that is the very thing that keeps us stuck.
