Welcome to Fast Forward.
Gill Slaven of FAST FORWARD has over 30 years experience in the broadcast media. (Working alongside statesmen, politicians, celebrities, actors, musicians, lawyers, technicians, etc.) She has undertaken a variety of roles from creative to senior management and has earned a deserved reputation as a trouble-shooter with the ability to motivate. Her positive, proactive style of management has generally seen increased staff performance and greatly improved morale. This approach not only benefits the individual but more significantly the organisation's productivity and profit. Her talents for recruiting and retaining a good team are legendary.Gill recognised that specialist coaching is now an essential catalyst in improving one's position in today's crowded and competitive business environment. Her life-coaching experiences and subsequent studies led her to realise that around 80% of people currently offering coaching services in business have no formal training. Frequently they are generalists who have simply made the name change from trainer or consultant to coach. This skills gap combined with Gill's passion for people development prompted her to train with Europe's largest coaching organisation. She now specialises in Corporate Coaching.
FAST FORWARD provides unique coaching programmes for senior executives, managers and corporate teams that will drive their businesses forward and gain them an edge in the ever evolving and competitive marketplace.

Given the changing marketplace and the way people are prepared to work in the current environment, the emphasis tends to be not only to perform but about how organisations go about achieving that end goal. Managing staff expectations and how organisations treat the staff they employ is a key part in creating a coaching culture and thereby enhancing overall performance.We might call it "The Psychological Contract"
