“I felt Gabriela brought intelligence and a listening approach which I found particularly effective in the sessions she conducted. She is supportive, intelligent and ‘visionary’ in a business sense.”

“I used to see a world that’s fragmented and disempowered by borders, by old minded organisational forms, by societal structures that are not resilient and supportive of the new emerging future. The prospect of actually working in a place and community that makes real impact seemed impossible. Time helped me to reconsider my position and now I know that even through complexity and ambiguity a deeper shift towards new, more empowering and fulfilling ways of organizing is possible as long as we build it on trust, authenticity and commitment to a larger purpose.”

Gabriela is an experienced leader, consultant and facilitator who is committed to building organisations and systems that enable individuals to thrive and meaningful visions to get accomplished. She has designed, facilitated, and managed a diverse range of organisational change and leadership development programmes: from working with for profit industries (oil/energy, banking and consulting), not for profit organisations (NGOs, art organisations) and social business initiatives. Moreover she has successfully engaged with a diversity of audiences spanning across levels of seniority, cultures and generations.
