TERRY GILBERT & CO. LTD
BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS
ENGAGED — CAPABLE — SAFE
We assist organizations through important conversations that set direction, challenge assumptions and change behaviours; we help people understand themselves better, acquire new skills, and become more effective leaders; and we strengthen safety culture one employee, one leader and one team at a time.
At Your Service
WE'RE NEUROSCIENCE NERDS
We’re firm believers that if you know how a piece of equipment works, you can operate it more effectively. That’s especially true if the equipment in question is the human brain. We’ve discovered that teaching leaders about the workings of the brain leads to self-awareness and insights that set the stage for increased effectiveness. Neuroscience is a powerful and expanding area of study offering significant benefits to individuals and organizations. We stay on top of the latest research and tools in the field to ensure we can bring the best solutions to our clients.
SAFETY CULTURE
We firmly believe that if you get safety right, you get it all right.
We work on the culture side of the safety equation, helping employees at all levels examine their beliefs and behaviours, facilitating conversations that shine light on the messages, measures and assumptions that are driving — or getting in the way of — safety excellence.
COACHING
Reflection leads to insight, and insight leads to behaviour change. We coach individuals through challenging dilemmas, often using self-awareness tools such as the powerful Learning in Action EQ Profile. We help leaders develop coaching skills, making the shift from advising to asking reflective questions that engage employees in solving the problems they encounter.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The best leaders are always learning — about themselves, their people and their businesses. We support leaders’ learning through 360 feedback and other self-awareness tools, one-on-one coaching, and multi-faceted leadership development programs that challenge and stretch leaders to bring out the best in themselves, in others and in their organizations.
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
We love the challenge of figuring out how to deliver high-impact learning that fits your culture and works within your constraints, then designing and building the suite of materials that results in acquisition and retention of awareness, knowledge or skill. We’re fully equipped to design and deliver training for the classroom, via technology and through one-on-one engagement.
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND FACILITATION
We help teams and organizations with their most important — and most difficult — conversations. We design processes and create the conditions that allow for the uncomfortable questions to be asked and assumptions to be challenged. Whether setting strategy or digging into unproductive team dynamics, our goal is clarity and the commitment that follows when individuals know they have been truly heard.
COMMUNICATIONS / CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Organizations too often do an inadequate job of helping people understand what’s coming, what’s changing and what is staying the same. Whether we are helping you write a new strategic plan, launch a leadership development program, or roll out a new e-learning module for annual compliance training, we’ll work with you to develop effective communications and change management strategies.

THE BRAINS BEHIND THE OPERATION

I’m a facilitator, trainer and coach with more than 20 years’ experience designing and delivering high-impact learning and development programs and facilitating strategic and business planning processes. I’m passionate about safety and have a quirky love of models that help us better understand ourselves.
I am certified to administer a variety of self-assessment tools including MBTI and my favorite — because of the insight it delivers — the Learning in Action EQ Profile. I am also certified to deliver ExperienceChange, ExperiencePoint’s highly-experiential change management simulation, and in the Prosci ADKAR methodology.

Brag Book
“Building better leaders is really important at Zedi. When we embarked on a Leadership Development Program we knew it needed to be different – something creative and flexible that works with our culture, our geographic dispersion and within our time constraints. We would not have accomplished all of that, and more, if it weren’t for Terry Gilbert. Her skills in both program design and program delivery have helped our leaders elevate their performance significantly. Our leaders trust, respect and value Terry!”
Deb Deane
Vice President, People — Zedi
“Terry Gilbert has a remarkable ability to connect with leaders on a personal level, which results in sustained behavioural change.

It is an honor to work alongside such a brilliant, compassionate, and kind professional.”
