Gill helped me to believe in my own abilities and grow in confidence. With her encouragement and patient listening, I was able to start to deal, ultimately very successfully, with a case at work; something for which I had felt completely unprepared at the outset.

I am very happy to recommend Gill Pennington as a Business Mentor to anyone venturing into the new and exciting (but sometimes daunting) world of self-employment. Or indeed, to anyone who wishes to develop a particular skill relating to their business activities.

It's great to have a knowledgeable and sympathetic guide when starting a new venture; someone experienced whom one can trust, particularly (for example) when working on issues such as business presentation skills.  Gill is easy to work with in the context of sometimes personally sensitive issues because she listens and enables one to find their own solutions - focusing on the positive. She is always professional but at the same time encouraging and fun.

 Supported by Gill's insights and suggestions I believe my own start-up enterprise now has a greater likelihood to succeed.
