Gillian McShane-Shields (she/her)
Certified Professional Coach

Hi, I’m Gillian! I’m a Certified Leadership Coach and Workplace Psychological Health & Safety Advisor. I work with individuals who are seeking personal growth and stronger leadership, offering a space where clarity, courage, and change can thrive.

Through evidence-based coaching assessments, I help clients identify and overcome the barriers holding them back. I’m privileged to work with both local and international clients—virtually and in person. I offer on-site sessions and workshops throughout the Greater Toronto Area, and multi-day events are available by request, wherever you are.

My interactive workplace workshops are designed to foster team development, strengthen communication, and cultivate healthier work environments. Whether it's one-on-one or group-based, I lead with empathy, humour, and hard-won life experience to Encourage, Equip, and Empower.

You can get to know me better on The Fully Lived Life Podcast, where I share insights and stories from the coaching journey with Dr. Merry Lin.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors—raising dog guides, motorcycling with my husband, or paddling my kayak (where my meditation game is truly next level). I’m a proud mom of two adult children and grandma to the most delightful little human.
