Dr Gillian Stevens

Gill is the Academic Director for Coaching at ICE which means she has oversight and responsibility for the Coaching Portfolio of courses. Gill is also the Course Director for the newly launched MSt in Coaching. Previously she was the Course Director and tutor for the Diploma in Coaching (DIC). Before joining ICE Gill lived and worked in the Philippines for 5 years where she was deeply involved in the world of coaching whilst teaching Human Behaviour in Organisations at the Asian Institute of Management, (AIM) in Manila, Philippines. Prior to the Philippines, Gill had her own leadership and coaching consultancy.

Gill is a professionally qualified coach whose coaching practice and experience span a range of organization levels, generations and cultures; and with experience of designing and delivering coach training programmes for different purposes within different industry sectors. As a coach Gill draws on a range of approaches, tools and techniques that she aims to use appropriately and always in the service of the client. Her coaching philosophy is underpinned by various theories and frameworks. Gill’s focus is to help clients understand their current issues and challenges and to help them discover what may be preventing them from achieving their future goals and aspirations whilst at the same time helping them to acknowledge their past appropriately.

Gill’s private coaching work spreads over three key areas – working with individuals, teams and coaches. Her work with coaches focuses on helping them to become more aware of and sensitive to their intuition and builds on the work of her PhD when she looked at the role and development of intuition in the context of the management problem-solving process.
