Hey, I’m Gieselle!
I’m a certified coach who has been primarily serving leaders & professionals of color since 2018.
I’ve been facilitating workshops and serving as an in-house coach for all types of organizations – from nonprofits to household names like Asana & Pinterest, and Doordash.
If you’ve been looking for someone who can directly speak to and support your leaders & employees of color, I’m glad my work came into your world.

I do this a little differently than your average coach, however.
My work specifically focuses on how each clients’ intersectional identities and systems of oppression impact the way they’re showing up as a professional, leader, and community member in the workplace.

Many organizations make the mistake of thinking that coaching is a gift to their employees – and while it will certainly benefit the individuals in the program, this will benefit your organization even more.
Past organizations have reported that after their employees participated in a GAC coaching cohort, they saw a noticeable increase in:
The impact is even larger with people managers at this organization, because they will learn not only how to do this work for themselves, but how to pass it down to other folks in the organization.
Long story short, if you want to retain great employees, and also see them become more engaged, proactive, and productive within your organization – then coaching is more than worth the investment.
I am putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and challenging knowing that I will grow from them and learn more about myself.
Working with Gieselle is worth the investment in money and time. As BIPOC, it is a complex weave of roadblocks, issues, systems, etc that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes all at once. And, having Gieselle as a coach, you will never feel alone or crazy. She is strong, direct, loving, kind, empathetic -- all the qualities that you need in someone who can help you maneuver in this journey of life as a person of color."

Gieselle Allen Coaching offers a variety of workshops, training, and retreats for your leaders & employees of color.
All workshops, trainings, and retreats are typically held over Zoom, however I’m happy to talk about in-person events.
Don’t see exactly what you’re looking for here? No worries – I can tailor something custom for you and your organization.
Safe to be Seen
This workshop supports attendees to speak up more in the workplace as leaders & professionals. In this workshop, participants will uncover the unique stories that keep them quiet – and learn how to feel safe expressing their opinions and using their voice.
Say Goodbye to Burn-out
Attendees will uncover their individual reasons as to why they’re overworking (no, it’s not because there’s a lot to do!) and look at how they can create & enforce better boundaries for themselves without sacrificing their productivity – it’s possible.
Say Goodbye to Self Doubt
This workshop helps attendees understand the root of their self-doubt (and how it relates to their identities) and gives them practical tools to quiet down self-doubt in the future.
Cultivating Your Human-Centered Leadership Style
This workshop will support participants in understanding what their authentic leadership style is, and how to feel confident implementing this leadership in the workplace. It’ll also support them to get feedback to ensure this leadership style works for their team.
The Confidence Catalyst
This six session program can be offered as an intensive virtual “retreat”, or as a weekly course. This program is designed to quickly and efficiently help attendees release the stories that make them feel less confident, and introduce them to new tools & resources that help them feel confident.
Say Goodbye to Negative Self-Talk
This six-week course helps employees of color learn science-backed strategies to get rid of the unhelpful thoughts that keep them stuck in cycles of procrastination, analysis paralysis, or fear of failure. This will help your employees make better decisions faster, and with confidence.
Say Goodbye to
Burn-out
This six session program can be offered as an intensive virtual “retreat” or as a weekly course. This program is designed to help your employees make better choices around what needs to happen, what needs to be delegated, and how they can create better boundaries with themselves to ensure that they’re not overworked – while still getting everything done.
"I’m so grateful for Gieselle. If I could always have her in my back pocket I would, but I don’t need to because she's helped me learn to trust myself and do what feels right for me. What coach does that? An amazing one!"
- Elle R.
I work with leaders or emerging leaders at all levels within organizations to support them in growing into the professional they want to be.
My clients have included CEOs, Executive Directors, all the way down to entry-level employees.
I work with clients in 3, 6, 9 and 12 month containers. We can talk about what time frames work best for your organization and your employees.
If you’d like to get a sense of what coaching with me is like, you can check out a session with one of my former clients here. (TW: this session mentions sexual assault at the 30 minute mark. If that is triggering for you, please stop the recording before then.)
Most organizations prefer this route because it gives them more ability for customization and it fosters more community within this organization.
Benefits to full, in-house cohort:
This option is for organizations that want to support clients, but don’t have either enough eligible employees or the budget to host their own in-house cohort.
Instead of hosting one cohort, you will sponsor specific individuals to join a 7-month GAC “Leadership Council” cohort. This is a group coaching program for leaders of color.
*The 2023 Cohort begins in April/May of 2023
Group coaching with Gieselle is so much more than a “mastermind.” It is a deeply loving, supportive and nourishing community. The amount of self-trust I have built here has completely changed the course of how I interact with the world. I cannot recommend this program enough!”
- Rebecca A.
