Liz Gibson thoroughly enjoys her life as an independent Management Training & Development Consultant. She established herself in this role in 1981 after working for British Airways for ten years. Liz joined BOAC as a Management Trainee and then moved into the Personnel function and Training & Development where she worked alongside Peter Farey who developed the Leader/Manager instruments. During this time she trained staff through a tremendous culture change in the airline as BOAC and BEA were merged into British Airways.
With the retirement of Peter Farey, Liz Gibson now represents Leaderskill in the UK, in charge of 360 Facilitated® (Upward Feedback®) programs.
Liz is an experienced facilitator of groups and teams and is specifically interested in encouraging appraisal and feedback which she feels is fundamental to good management. She finds working together with managers/leaders and their teams on feedback both challenging and rewarding as team concerns are raised openly, underlying issues uncovered and the whole group moves forward to solutions.
On the training side Liz provides all training services from training needs analysis to design, delivery, on-going support and coaching of programmes. Her main emphasis is on interpersonal skills including recruitment, appraisal, time management, assertiveness, performance management, train the trainer etc.
Working with groups Liz uses a participative style combining her NLP skills with accelerated learning methods and a good pinch of fun. She is frequently complimented on her approachable style which relaxes everyone and encourages their full involvement in taking on new concepts and challenges.
Liz works with a wide cross section of global clients with whom she maintains a long-term working relationship. Clients include telecommunications, airlines, food production, nuclear energy provider, medical equipment and botanic gardens.
She is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (MCIPD) and is qualified to administer the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Liz is also a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
