ABOUT

About

Hello, I am

Barbra Carlisle


I set up Glee Coaching after being made redundant from a job I loved.  All good things come to an end, and with that end came the start of Glee. 


My passion for coaching and supporting people to find their voice, and to grow in a way they feel in control had played through many of the roles I had. It was a natural progression for me to start a coaching company.  The coaching qualifications I had been doing on the side over the years, and in work, fed my curiosity about how best I can support people who want to thrive.


I set up the business as I had seen leaders introduced to new roles, with new responsibilities, but without the right support around them to help them flourish.  If the leader isn't effective, neither is the team below them.   


I have led businesses, sat on charitable boards and volunteer as a business mentor with the Help To Grow government scheme. I have led successful teams and have managed project teams where the team members had other main roles to fulfil.  I understand the importance of being kind to yourself, stretching yourself with the right support around you and applying your learning on a daily basis. 


I now coach and mentor, train and speak on topics relating to team performance, leadership presence and being part of the leadership for good movement.


When I am not in work I am with my family, on the beach, with my dogs or throwing a pot or two!


Vision and Mission

Enabling people to embrace their leadership roles while maintaining work life balance, and supporting others to grow around them, to benefit themselves, their teams and the wider community.


Glee's mission is to enable people to have the time, tools, awareness and motivation to be the most effective leader they can be. To maximise opportunities to do the things that brings them energy while ensuring that the things that dont come naturally dont lead to serious business risk.

Creativity

Play and imagination is the key to exciting futures

Uniqueness

Celebrate our differences

Community

We work to ensure that society benefits from our contribution

Meet the founder. Barbra Carlisle

After a career as a business owner, a HR leader, a manager, trainer and strategist I knew that my purpose was to support leaders to be even more brilliant than they already are.


An EMCC accredited coach, I specialise in supporting new and curious leaders in the non profit sector who want to make a difference, to their own lives, their organisation and society as a whole.


My career has embraced many sectors and fields, including national charities, non governmental organisations, global corporates and niche consultancies.


I bring insight and personal commitment to my training, coaching and strategic advisory work.

Actively engage in pro bono coaching in local communities in collaboration with community groups

Equity

Everyone has a right to be themselves and to flourish


At Glee, we live by who we say we are, and we work to make the world a better place, one step at a time
