We help you create possibilities.

Gillis Consulting works with leadership teams to drive and sustain high levels of performance.

Leading Team Effectiveness

  • We work to unearth opportunities to build more trust, improve communication, instill psychological safety, and ensure shared accountability. We believe in systems-level thinking and human-centered interventions to spur team cohesion. The power of leadership teams can’t be underestimated.

Leadership Development

  • We design and deliver interactive and experiential programs that catalyze and galvanize behavior change. We believe in creating business-specific, leader-centric experiences that help leaders grow, mature, develop, and expand their impact, so they can drive true change throughout the organization.

Organizational Health

  • We help leaders assess and understand the health of the organization through assessments and diagnostics aimed at uncovering any blockages to performance and productivity. We believe in the leader’s role in shaping and nurturing company culture, and understanding the landscape is the first step.

Strategic Planning

  • We help leadership teams develop and create a strategy that allows for - and plans for - agility and flexibility, combined with stability and direction. This way, the company can be responsive to change while never letting go of their vision. Finding this balance is hard, but worth it.

Employee Ownership Culture

  • We work with employee-owned organizations to ensure that their unique structure and participative approach drives a high engagement culture. We serve as coaches and advisors and help the employee-owners develop useful and impactful programs and processes that drive the impact they want.

Executive Coaching

  • We partner with leaders to help them make sense of themselves, their environment, cultivate new strategies for success, up their leadership game, and strengthen the parts of their leadership that may be holding them back from the next level, the next position, the next step, or the next opportunity.

“Melisa quickly identified the behaviors and communications issues that were negatively impacting our non-profit volunteer organization. She led us through an exercise so our volunteers and employees could come to a shared understanding of roles and responsibilities. With a firm hand and appropriate sense of humor, Melisa coached both our volunteers and employees on ways to improve their communications and modify behaviors.”
