One of the most rewarding parts of providing support and training for people is seeing how people use what they’ve learned in real life, so I’m going to start sharing a weekly testimonial - some will be for coaching and some will be when I have got my geek on! If you’ve had a win, big or small, and you’re happy for me to share your feedback, feel free to message me. I read every single one, honestly they mean a lot to me and I hope it gives others the courage to take the first step into their learning journey 🥰

A few people have asked about my background and qualifications, so I wanted to share this properly rather than assume it’s obvious. I’m a certified Microsoft Office Specialist across Word, Excel and PowerPoint (and outlook but I don’t really focus on that app). I’ve continued to formally upskill in AI and Microsoft 365 as those tools have evolved. Alongside qualifications, I’ve delivered training and built learning materials for individuals, businesses, the NHS, government teams, huge pharma companies and small private organisations. Teaching is not something I do on the side. It’s my profession. I design syllabuses, create practical exercises, record structured training, and support learners at very different starting points. I also actively stay up to date because this space changes fast and I genuinely enjoy that. If you’d like to see my qualifications and certifications, you can find them here and in the images below 🤓 https://www.credly.com/badges/a00050d5-1bd4-4cc1-b804-1487c175f32a/linked_in_profile

Hi everyone 👋 I realised many of you know me as the person answering questions, running lives, and popping up in your feed, but not necessarily the person behind all of that. I’m Gemma. I live in the UK (looking to escape and go digital nomad ASAP) I’m a mum of two grown up boys who have now fled the nest. I really enjoy health and wellbeing, workout 5 times a week, cook from scratch and love travel. The bulk of my career has been spent in business, mostly sales, but I’ve always been good with numbers so that led me down a path to find my inner geek! I’m now Microsoft and AI nerd qualified, but am still a very normal human behind the scenes. I love clear systems, calm documents, spreadsheets that make sense, and technology that actually helps rather than overwhelms. Coffee fuels most of my thinking ☕ and I genuinely get excited when something finally clicks for someone else…. I know, it’s the geek in me! This community exists because I love teaching. Yes I coach in a formal, corporate way too, but all of that is held within an umbrella of practical, real-world skills that builds confidence. No jargon, no judgement, and no expectation that you should already know things. If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here a while, thanks for trusting me with your learning. I’m really glad you’re here. Have a question about me!? Just ask!
