Carla Gill
Coaching & Strategy
Coach & Small Charity Expert
Bio
I’m a coach, facilitator, and interim leader who’s passionate about helping charity professionals navigate what’s next, with clarity, connection, and confidence. Having founded and led my own organisation, I know the highs, the challenges, and the turning points that come with leadership. I became the coach I once needed to help make those transitions smoother and more intentional.
I now support charity professionals and their teams through bespoke away days, founder succession planning, and 1:1 career coaching. My style is friendly, thoughtful, and gently challenging—creating space for honest conversations, renewed energy, and stronger team connection.
Whether you’re stepping into something new, figuring out what’s next, or helping your team work better together, I bring structure, warmth, and a bit of playfulness to help you move forward with confidence.
