Enabling leaders to lead with greater intent.

Providing the challenge and support that enables growth.

ABOUT

Intentional decisions and deliberate actions.

Dr Gabrielle Ostrognay believes that leadership is fundamentally about being human, connecting, understanding, and managing one's unique qualities in a way that enables intentional decisions and deliberate actions to be taken through personal and professional growth. With over two decades of experience in executive coaching and leadership development, Dr. Ostrogny has dedicated her career to creating the conditions for leaders to achieve their goals and improve performance. She takes pride in fostering environments where leaders can thrive, and organisations can flourish.


Vision

My doctoral research asked what employees actually need from the people who lead them. The answer was four things: self-management, providing direction, building organisation capability, and engaging and involving.

Leaders who demonstrate all four are seen by their people as effective — but only where the structures, systems and processes around them support it. That finding shapes how I work, and it is why I rarely stop at the leader.


Mission

To support leaders to cultivate their strengths, manage their weaknesses, and use every experience to continue to perform and grow.

SERVICES

Gabrielle provides the following services

 

Executive Coaching

I work with leaders at every level of seniority, from chief executives refining how they lead at scale to leaders stepping into their first executive role. Coaching most often covers self-awareness and self-management, setting and holding direction, influence, achieving results through others, building capability in a team, and career decisions.

Assessment and Feedback

I use psychometric assessment, 360 feedback and structured interviews to give leaders an accurate read on how they operate and how they are experienced. The debrief matters more than the instrument: leaders leave with a small number of things worth changing and a clear view of how to change them.

Workshops and Training

  • Team effectiveness

  • Accountability and getting work done

  • Challenging conversations

  • Team charters and ways of working

  • Strategy to action

  • Resilience and wellbeing

Organisational diagnostics

I use culture surveys, leadership assessments and structured interviews to give organisations a clear read on where capability sits and what is getting in its way. The output is designed to be decided on, not filed.

BIO

Dr Gabrielle Ostrognay

Founder and Managing Director, GO People and Performance

I work with senior leaders and executive teams across health, financial services, education, justice, telecommunications and infrastructure. My practice combines psychometric assessment, structured feedback and coaching, and it is grounded in my own doctoral and published research on leadership and its relationship with employee wellbeing and performance.

Before consulting, I led the executive capability function at Coles Group and the chief executive’s leadership program at Telstra — so I have sat on the other side of the table, deciding who was ready and who was not.
