Business & Career Coaching
Paul's a great coach - listening and challenging really helpfully and encouraging me to work out ways to become less 'stuck'. I've taken away lots of positives from our sessions. More...

Coaching was something I was initially reluctant to try as I didn't believe it was for me, but Paul was brilliant. He clearly explained the process and timescales of what we could achieve and held me to account throughout our sessions.
Paul's approach was a huge part in giving me the confidence to make the decisions about my future that I had been putting off for a long time and I would recommend him to anyone looking to better understand what they want from a career

Gibson Consulting provided invaluable coaching as well as mentoring for one of our emerging senior managers recently. Paul's style is very warm and engaging and he immediately puts the person he's working with at ease. However, this is backed up by a clear, understandable and logical framework which allows Paul to quickly determine his client's current mindset and then discover where the focus of the coaching process should be, in alignment with the client's personal and corporate goals. His approach is very collaborative and is underpinned by regular success measurement with his client to ensure that genuine progress is being made and that the goal of coaching process will be met. This is all backed up by Paul's many years of successful hands-on business experience that extends right across the C-suite. We look forward to our next engagement with Gibson Consult. More...

Regular sessions with Paul have proved extremely valuable. Our work is hugely rewarding and equally intense. During the pandemic we have faced even great challenges but also precious opportunities. Paul’s wealth of commercial experience and proven track record for people management have dovetailed beautifully helping me to delve deeper into my decision-making processes, emotional reactions and behaviours whilst also keeping the needs of our beneficiaries and the wider charity at the forefront of mind. Paul has provided space to scrutinise my own actions and to better understand the response of others. In the time spent together we explore areas beyond those immediate obvious and it is this richness of conversations that create the greatest impact and most significant achievements. More...

I have attended regular coaching sessions since 2020 with Paul, who is my first regular coach since I became HR Director at the Charity.
I always look forward to our sessions and used to think of them as being rather indulgent – a whole hour or more spent talking about me and what’s going on! – but actually they are hugely beneficial and I value the dedicated ‘headspace’ time. It is so useful to be able to park an issue temporarily if I know it’s something I need to talk through more during coaching.
The sessions have enabled me to maintain my own wellbeing and positivity while dealing with difficult situations, they have increased my personal resilience and have helped me to find solutions to complex issues.
Paul’s laidback approach makes it easy to have an open dialogue, I can say exactly what I am thinking and feeling without judgement and this means I am able to find the best way forward. It’s not always immediate and some things take longer but to know that there is someone there who takes a genuine interest and is willing and able to support me is invaluable.

Coaching
Coaching is a relationship that helps you understand where they are, where you want to be and how to get there. I will listen and question to help unlock potential and purpose. Over time an action plan will develop once clarity of thought is established. You will find the solution within yourself, supported by the coach.
The agenda is generally more specific and aims at short-term improvements, which may be small steps in the right direction.
I am there to listen and open up your personal and professional potential. This is achieved through questioning and inspiring new ways of thinking and perspective.
Mentoring
Mentoring is a two-way relationship, usually developing into a longer-term commitment on both sides to achieve long-term goals. These aims are defined at the start before the program begins. It is important that expectations are clear on both sides and there is a ‘fit’ between us.
My role is to listen actively, question, and provide potential solutions or options and information to enhance your thought process.
Short-term and long-term goals determined at the outset will be measured and checked for success and progress. Your journey plan is as important as your proposed destination.
