GABRIELLE GLEESON
Lead Consultant and Coach
Thank you for visiting my website. I am a coach and consultant specialising in parental transition support.
​
I help deliver workplace policies and services that create a compassionate culture for families, especially new parents.
After a career in business development and sales strategy, working for some of Australia's largest media organisations, I deeply understand the challenges of navigating business priorities, career progression and family care.
I am passionate about empowering and supporting parents to transition between home and work with ease and confidence. It is possible to have an incredible career or business and still hold the hands of the ones who need you most.
Good for Parents, Good for Business and Good for Families!
