Gaelle Lamotte
Executive Coach
Gaelle draws on her 20+ years of working with senior teams in both strategy consulting and leadership roles to shape her coaching style and practice. She believes that coaching can deliver significant, lasting positive impact for the individual, their team, and organisation. Gaelle makes a difference as a coach by creating a space for her clients at the intersection of self, purpose & strategy, and their environment (organisation, family, community); where they can grow as individuals and leaders, and map out a future where they can thrive. Gaelle is an AC accredited Executive Coach.
Coaching Style
As a woman with a long career in professional services who received little or no formal coaching, Gaelle is keen to offer leaders – aspiring, established or in transition – the opportunity to engage in coaching to accelerate their development and growth with confidence. Her style is shaped by her inherent curiosity about people, their unique perspectives and team dynamics. She is naturally optimistic, preferring to work from strengths, unlocking blockages, and enabling awareness of underlying patterns or behaviours. She offers her clients the time and space to assess, reflect, test assumptions, and reframe challenges, in order to make assertive, positive choices.
Gaelle has an integrative and systemic coaching approach. She brings to the relationship a depth of business experience gained by working in a variety of roles – as a senior manager and P&L holder, as a seasoned consultant, and as an executive and non-executive Board member. She can tap into a rich and multi-disciplinary repertoire to support the coaching discussion as needed; such as profiling tools, 360 feedback, visualisation/visioning, strategy mapping, Scorecard, leadership assessments, cultural map, etc.
Clients and colleagues describe Gaelle as non-judgmental and empathetic, considered and analytical, incisive and a perceptive listener. She believes that success comes when people can perform at their best. Her goal is to help create the conditions and develop pragmatic solutions to make that happen.
