About Evan Gillespie

About 17 years ago, supported by a coach, I worked out my personal purpose - 'to help others reach their potential’. Six months after that session, my wife and I quit our jobs on the same day and started up on our own. We agreed to work with organisations that shared our values and where we had clear opportunities to help people reach their potential. That has helped me find roles and opportunities in the UK, Europe, Australia, the USA and Far East. My HR, Change and Organisation Development experience has been gained across a number of organisations and sectors, from senior positions with complex multinationals to working at close quarters with entrepreneurs. I continue to look for challenges that help businesses achieve results through affordable development that helps people realise their potential.My current partnerships include; working with a UK housebuilder to design and deliver a future leader programme (now online); supporting a growing global software company by designing and facilitating online programmes for their women in leadership and future leaders; partnering with the local educational trust to design and deliver their leadership programmes; supplying 1-1 telephone/online coaching for a range of leaders across my client portfolio. As we navigate through a period of major uncertainty with challenges of meeting face to face, I am putting my years of experience in designing and delivering short, focused and practical online development sessions to good use. I am also the only licensed practitioner of Brain Blinkers (www.anthonybonnici.com.au) - a development product to help you remove the three most common barriers to reaching your potential. Current and previous clients include: Obsidian Healthcare Group, Keepmoat Homes Ltd, Nuix UK Ltd (EMEA), Carousel Logistics, Shropshire Gateway Educational Trust, Legoland, Chessington World of Adventures, UK MoJ, Nuix Pty Ltd (US & APAC), Fitness First, Commercial Services, Woolworths Pty Ltd (Australia), Energex Pty Ltd (Australia), UK Forensic Science Service, Deutsche Bank, AS Watson, Avis , Levi Strauss, Wincanton Distribution, The Nuance Group, Whitbread.

  • Brain Blinkers
    Licensed Consultant
    Brain Blinkers Jul 2016 - Present
    Only Licensed Practitioner For Uk & Europe
    Brain Blinkers are best described as the three critical things that hold us back as human beings - Limiting Beliefs, Negative Thoughts and Fears. Overcoming them can help you be happier, more productive, more effective, more positive and less stressed. The Brain Blinkers programme can be delivered to small or large teams in various formats - as a keynote, a lunch n learn, a two hour or half day session. It can be woven into a leadership programme, a team development day or conference session or be run to help specific groups that need support to get them through a challenging situation.. Whether you are looking for something to inspire your team or your leadership group, looking for something different to help support employees who are facing major change or redundancy, or just trying to help unlock the potential of people who you know can achieve more than they currently are, then Brain Blinkers is for you. Developed 11 years ago by Anthony Bonnici in Australia (www.anthonybonnici.com), I am supporting Anthony to deliver Brain Blinkers in the UK and Europe. I invited Anthony in to support a future leaders programme while working in Australia and loved the product and content so much I wanted to help more people experience how it could help them get over the things that hold them back.
