Gill is a highly recommended Leadership developer with very rich experience. I have collaboratively worked with Gill over the years delivering training to a multitude of organisations in Africa and she has always stepped up to the challenge with a very optimistic and wide view approach. Our clients love her delivery style and she is great at adapting the training to the right environment. A trainer that will challenge and provoke the group’s thinking regardless of seniority. I would recommend her as a commendable person to work with and an invaluable trainer with a unique style.

I would recommend the SparkSync "Growing Your Leadership Edge" course to anybody who is in a leadership position, this would enable them evaluate the way they are leading and enable them consider the important aspects of improving their leadership and more importantly the way they relate to their workmates.

"Since I attended the SparkSync Leadership Programme, I have become a better team player and leader to my team as I listen more to my colleagues’ side of the story. This has benefited the department and the bank at large, since we are able to work better as a team and are therefore more productive."

 What we created:

Gill How works with Duncan Mutembani from SparkSync to understand local needs and create bespoke leadership programmes for emerging leaders in Kampala, Uganda. We have created, marketed and delivered an open programme to a range of organisations, running the programme three times at four monthly intervals in the first year. Feedback is highly positive and the progression of participants impressive. Following the pandemic, we are developing new programme formats and expanding our range of services to offer executive coaching too.

 The client prompt:

SparkSync holds an ambition to offer high quality leadership development to ambitious professionals in Africa and was delighted to come across Gill How as a high calibre, experienced partner with whom they could form a collaboration. On hearing Gill speak at an event about Bid Leadership, a connection was made to explore working together and the collaboration began.
