Coaching evokes meaningful transformation in your life. This process provides clarity of your current life and moves you to create achievable goals to gain a sense of fulfilment, authenticity, and empowerment. We work together to enable deep and meaningful change in an attainable and consistent way.
In a recruitment sense, I offer a Talent Management service to Tax specialists. This is a
personalised and discrete method of exploring if there is a better career opportunity available to you. We clarify your current situation, what you want going forward and why. We then carefully assess the possible best opportunity to achieve your goals and make it happen.

Emma Price
Director, Transformation, Public Sector
Gemma has helped me work out who I am and where I want to be in both a career and personal sense. I now feel like I have clear sense of what I want from both. Working with Gemma has given me the focus, commitment and energy to help me create a realistic plan to get to where I want to be in a way that feels authentic to me, my approach and values.
Lucrecia Ortiz
Senior Manager, Global Immigration
Gemma is amazing to work with, she has a fresh and very authentic communication style, she asks the right questions and by using great active listening skills, she will help you navigate different layers of areas of development you want to work on. By applying great empathy and emotional intelligence, she makes it very easy to discuss difficult topics in a natural and spontaneous way.
Paul Kilbride
CEO and Board Director
I’m already progressing way beyond any reasonable expectation of what coaching could achieve for me. Gemma’s personable sessions are well structured and guided but equally - and importantly to me, challenging and encouraging. She’s opened my mind already to many areas I’d considered closed off. Crucially, it feels like a safe haven for topics or areas I’ve never felt so exposed to open up about but while also sensing supported too

why work with me
People and their individual human experience is the beating heart of my business.
“Gemma helped me work out what is actually important to me as a person and how my career is part of that jigsaw. I was on Partner track but going through the motions without genuine conviction. Her knowledge and insight gave me the trust I needed to open up. Her approach was fun and playful. Working with Gemma has given me the courage and conviction to make my goals a reality.”

I’m an expert in Talent Management for Tax specialists
For over 20 years, I’ve placed Tax Senior Managers, Tax Directors, and Tax Partners. Working with these individuals intimately, I have gained a wealth of experience.
I have in-depth knowledge of the industry, sector, Partnerships, people, cultures, structures, histories and trajectories. I’ve gained a unique insight into who they are, what they’re about and who could thrive in what environment.
My clients see me as their trusted advisor
With 20 years in the industry, my reputation precedes me. I have well-honed experience placing strategic hires. My reputation sets the tone of every conversation. I introduce individuals based on that; you are a “headhunted” candidate, and this is a discreet introduction. You will not be treated like a typical applicant.

coaching
Our first conversation will be looking at where you are currently in all areas of your life. We will understand your big-picture goals, aspirations, what you want from life, and what you want to gain from working with a coach.
From there, we create an action plan around working together to help you get to where you want to be, feeling more fulfilled, empowered, and authentic and live your best life.
talent management
When working with me, you will have the opportunity to take the time and open up the conversation about your experience to date, what makes you good at your job, your strengths and achievements, aspirations and considerations for making the next step in your career.
Initially, we’ll have an in-depth conversation, and I can provide an informed and candid assessment of potentially available roles. Then collaboratively, we will assess which prospects and positions will be better than your current situation and if you’d like to take the next step.
