About John Gilbert

Is this you? You are passionate and dedicated and all your life you have helped individuals become the best they can be. You are driven and ambitious and determined to be successful. Yet you continually worry that 'on your watch' the organisation will fail. The demands upon services and corresponding financial overspends never leaves the back of your mind. You feel helpless by all the demands and pressures of the job and believe that it will only be a matter of time when you get found out. Your 3am panic still won't go away and you just can't see a way out! I can help! I have worked in Local Government for circa 40 years. I have either managed or experienced virtually all the range of services that upper tier local authorities deliver. I am actively involved in coaching/mentoring a number of senior managers/executives across the country and facilitate action-learning sets for Chief Executives, which keeps me 'current'. I use this experience to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that all too often can slow or even stall projects and plans. I understand how you 'feel'. I understand your concerns and listen to your fears as well as your aspirations to succeed. I help individuals to succeed where they thought they would fail and can guide you through the bear traps of the challenges of leadership. Yes, this is me! If this feels like you, then contact me so you can at last get off the hamster wheel and start to get control back in you life!

I have a solid track record of translating strategy and plans into firm delivery and measurable performance improvement and providing strategic advice to members and partners. I am respected as an influential leader, communicator and networker, who has a wide experience of children’s and adult services, strategic planning, change management, governance, an enviable record of resource management and an astute political adviser. I have completed a vast range of projects (see list). My most recent projects range from a high level diagnosis of a local authority facing severe challenges on behalf of the national Government, to individual support to local authorities regarding post peer review feedback as well as politically sensitive reviews.
