Virtual Management Training that is full of bright ideas

We deliver virtual and face–to–face management training courses and partner with you to select or design bespoke training for your organisation.

Hello, I'm Gilly Meek

I’m a coach and trainer, with over eighteen years’ experience. I founded Gravity thirteen years ago because I believed there was a better way to inspire and develop managers and leaders.

Since then I have worked around the world with over a hundred different organisations in a wide range of sectors, including media, retail, finance, legal and hospitality.

I provide relevant and practical training courses which I deliver in a memorable and engaging way and I’d love to bring these in to your company.
