Management Training that is full of bright ideas

We deliver virtual and face–to–face management training courses and communication skills training courses. We 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 twenty years’ experience in designing and delivering leadership, management and communication skills training programmes. I founded Gravity seventeen 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 organisation

Course delivery

Face–to–face

All our training courses are available for face-to-face delivery. We travel to your offices, creating a fully immersive experience which includes theory, demonstrations, activities, action planning and the added bonus of your employees meeting and network with each other.

Our face-to-face training is highly interactive. We actively avoid "death by powerpoint". Our face-to-face learning is experiential with the use of flip charts, discussions, and activities.

Virtual

All our training courses can be delivered virtually — either as complete days or over a series of bite-sized modules, helping you to manage you time better. We can adapt the course length and format to suit your needs and we also offer a hybrid option.

Our virtual training is fully interactive and includes activities, break-out rooms and action planning! You and your team can attend, regardless of location or device, creating a unique opportunity to train together.

Bespoke training courses

All our training courses can be customised to suit your needs in terms of course length, course format and course content. So if you see something on this site that you like but it isn't quite right, just let us know and we can shape it to meet your needs.

We also build fully bespoke training programmes where we start with understanding your objectives and then work with you to design something fully bespoke whether it be a 1-day bespoke workshop through to a 1-year modular Leadership Development Programme!

The formula for success

We give you the formula

Whether you need a conversation framework, a structure, a methodology, an approach, a mind-set, a guide, a technique or the right choice of words–we will give them all to you.

We let you experiment

We create a friendly environment where you can experiment with each aspect of the formula we deliver. You get to practise in a simulated activity or discussion and get useful feedback.

Apply your results

We’ll talk about your findings and help you to create an action plan you can implement as soon as you go back to work, applying the tools and techniques you have learned.
