About me

Hi there, I’m Liz Gait.  I feel extremely lucky that I love what I do – supporting people and teams to learn and grow, plus strengthening the human connections that sit at the heart of great collaboration and high performance, in ways technology alone never can.

I really do love what I do and I feel incredibly grateful to be able to say that.

Especially as I was initially thrown into training at the start of my career whilst working in an outplacement organisation, supporting people who had just been made redundant from one of the major banks. I loved it!  This was probably something to do with my music background and performance and I was inspiring people to create real change in their lives – this is where it all started and I’ve pretty much been doing the same ever since.

The career stuff…

Along the way I’ve worked in generalist HR, been responsible for recruitment and selection, been an NVQ assessor, run a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) management training centre, worked on transformational change projects and organisational development and now specialise in leadership, management, team/personal development and Insights Discovery profiling both within training and coaching.

evelopment, psychometric profiling – both training and coaching.

Learning everyday

With over 20 years’ experience, I qualified as an Insights Discovery Licensed Practitioner in 2010 and as an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner in 2013.
I continue with my own personal development every day – listening to current thought leaders, reading inspirational books and sharing learning with like-minded delegates and colleagues.
All there is… is learning…

The other stuff!

I love being outside and over the years, I’ve been involved in Scouting, volunteered for three months at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland as a ‘Pinkie’, owned my own horses and competed locally, transformed my garden and swapped horsepower for motorbikes.
I met my husband on a motorbike tour in France, got married in 2022, and now love living in the Worcestershire countryside with the backdrop of the Malvern Hills, alongside my husband Mike who runs an international Facilities Management Consultancy, Sitemark (www.sitemark.co.uk), with a now elderly cocker spaniel and two young rescue cats.

When I do get a moment to myself, I’m usually listening to a podcast or book, or topping up my Italian.

I look forward to working with you and helping you to discover more about yourself and your team.

Mission

To be an inspirational energy in organisations, teams and with individuals across the UK and beyond where global learning is translated into tangible businesses improvements.  I hope to achieve this through motivational leadership development, enabling improvements in team effectiveness and inspiring individuals to take responsibility for maximising their potential.

Values:

My values permeate throughout all of my work, especially when working in partnership with others:

Adventure

Projects are challenging and provide opportunities for growth and learning – me included!

Vision

I have a dream where individuals love the jobs they do and are completely aligned to the purposes of their teams and organisations where the following ideals are made possible:

• Entrepreneurial cultures prevail in teams, people feel safe and are trusted to be creative, innovative and agile in their approach
• Teams are ‘cognitively diverse’ and through positively challenging each other, respecting unique talents and perspectives, they always do what is right for their team and organisation
• Individuals are self aware and take responsibility for achievement of their values and purpose in the workplace, they adopt a ‘growth mindset’ through asking for feedback and also support their colleagues to learn and develop in return
• People are liberated from their limiting beliefs, have high levels of self worth and achieve their highest possible potential
• Working is fun and enjoyable and never again do we dread a Monday morning J

I strive to work in partnership with people and organisations who ‘believe what I believe’ and together, we can make workplaces great places to be.
