Performance Coaching UK

I set up Performance Coaching UK in 2008 as a vehicle to reflect my belief that people are at their happiest when they are performing at their best and that organisations thrive when the people in that organisation thrive. I am an independent coach with the ability to scale up to meet the demands of larger projects.

Gillian McDonagh

Human beings are amazing creatures – but we all need the space, time and opportunity to discover this for ourselves and the courage and support to use it.

Before training as a coach I spent over 20 years working in the music industry, performing with some of the best orchestras, ensembles and artists in the country. Coaching has given me the opportunity to pursue my interest in people – what makes them tick and what separates average from outstanding. I believe that we’re all capable of far more than we dare to believe.

My Coaching Style

My coaching style has been described as challenging, insightful and supportive. I call on a broad range of coaching skills and approaches including NLP [Neuro Linguistic Programming], Mindfulness, developing emotional intelligence and keeping abreast of current neuroscience research that informs mindsets, attitudes and behaviour change.

My Qualifications and Associations

I am a fully accredited executive & performance coach and an active member of the Association for Coaching.

I am also a Master NLP Practitioner, NLP Sports Practitioner and hold certification in NLP Hypnosis and Applied Neuro Science.

I am a licensed practitioner of the Emotional Capital Report [EQ] and the Firework Career Transition Programme as well as having a working knowledge of MBTI and DISC profiling tools.

I follow an programme of continual professional development which both supports my interests in developing potential and ensures a continually improving service for my clients.

I adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and above all respect my clients’ complete confidentiality and their right to find their own pathway to success.

Personal Philosophy

In a lifetime we access only a small portion of our true potential. My aim as a coach is to support and encourage those who are brave enough to explore this and use it towards the benefit of themselves and others.

Human beings are amazing creatures – but we all need the space, time and opportunity to discover this for ourselves and the courage and support to use it.

My Mission

Is to help my clients develop their talents and potential in order to enjoy success at work and fulfillment in life.
