GABRIELLE PIMSTONE
Engaged early to prevent approaches that won’t land, called in-flight to restore momentum, or brought in because past attempts didn’t stick - I reset the system’s default response to disruption so your change delivers.​
​
Trusted by executive teams to reduce risk and accelerate change execution.
What I solve that traditional change management can't reach
Change Management
My Work
Operates through change plans
Works through mindsets and narratives that shape how those plans are received
Manages resistance
Treats resistance as a signal, using it to guide shifts in story and change approach
Operates through change plans
Measured in how change is embedded in BAU
Adds initiatives and activities
Focuses on a few high-leverage actions that actually shift behaviour
Operates at delivery layer
Shifts the underlying patterns that determine whether delivery succeeds
Start here
Change Compass diagnostic
Diagnostic-led, grounded in behavioural evidence, and designed to show small visible shifts, fast.
What it reveals
-
The operating narrative people are running change through
-
Cultural assumptions that are either helping or hindering change
How it runs
-
5 to 7 executive interviews, a short survey, and 2 live‑meeting observations
-
A concise readout with 3 leverage points and one early win to test
Outcome in 10 days: a clear map of hidden dynamics, 3 leverage points ranked by impact, and one tested early win. You can act on this internally or engage me for the next step.
Your pathways
Choose where you need movement now.
We start with the Diagnostic, then go deeper.
01
Change Reset
A focused 6 to 8 week reset to accelerate momentum on 1 to 2 priority change initiatives. You can expect:
-
Visible movement within 2 to 4 weeks
-
Clearer ownership and cleaner handoffs so work moves efficiently
-
Leaders modelling the new story so teams adopt it naturally
-
Reduced risk from cultural assumptions, limiting beliefs, and hidden patterns that can block change
​
What we do:
-
Leadership intensives to recode the story of change
-
Micro experiments that create early, undeniable wins
-
Rituals and language shifts that lock in behaviour
​
​
02
Culture Shift
Team, BU, or organisation-wide culture shifts to bring strategic change priorities to life.​ What shifts:
-
Values become lived behaviours in meetings, decisions, and change delivery
-
Mindsets align with the strategic agenda so change feels lighter and easier
-
Limiting cultural assumptions are surfaced and recoded to enable change execution at scale
How it runs:
-
Targeted workshops and leadership labs mapped to real change
-
Culture micro‑experiments that create visible early wins
-
Simple rituals and shared language leaders model and cascade
Outcomes:
-
Measurable movement on priority change initiatives
-
Faster commitments and follow‑through across boundaries​​​

Executive Change Coaching
1:1 or group coaching for senior leader(s) leading a critical initiative. What shifts:

-
From heavy narratives to language that lifts energy and engagement and keeps flow
How it runs:
-
6 sessions across 8 weeks on live, real moments
-
We refine language, cadence, and boundaries so your signal sets the culture and keeps change moving forward
-
Simple practices you model: language, clarifying questions, short reset rituals, clear decision rights
Outcomes within weeks:
-
Steadier leadership presence that people mirror
-
Clear commitments and follow‑through
-
Momentum returns on one priority change initiative

How it runs:
-
Facilitated sessions fitted to your regular meetings

Collaborating with leading organisations for transformation
Michelle Patel, CEO Financial Executives Institute Australia
Gabrielle’s session on defining purpose was the perfect opening for our 2-day career development forum. She delivered a thoughtful, interactive, engaging and practical introduction to a concept that can, at times, feel equally important and out-of-reach. People were still reflecting on the session, and their own purpose, at the end of the forum.
Jennie McLaughlin, Chief Purpose Officer, PLT
I can highly recommend Gaby as a world-class facilitator, bringing a unique blend of skills to the fore - empathy, neutrality, creativity, adaptability and exceptional communication - to deliver consistently outstanding results.
Common questions
Will this add more meetings? No. We replace low-yield meetings with short, high-signal rituals.
How fast will we see movement? Typically within 2 to 4 weeks on a defined initiative.
What if we’ve tried change programs before and they weren't successful? We don’t add a program. We edit the narrative leaders model, and the system follows.
Can this work with change fatigue? Yes. We start with a visible win to restore belief before scaling.
