About Gillian MacLean

As the founder of Greenhouse Solutions, I bring over two decades of Human Resources leadership experience as a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR). I have a Masters in Executive and Organizational Coaching and hold an Associate Certified Coach credential through the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, I am a certified change management practitioner and a recognized leadership expert. Throughout my career, I have developed, facilitated, and led various leadership programs tailored for executives and organizations.

Outside of my professional life, I cherish my role as a mother and find joy in spending time in nature and with animals. Known for my great sense of humour, I strive to create a warm and engaging atmosphere in all my interactions. Described as pragmatic and thoughtful, my work style employs a systems-thinking approach to help individuals and teams clarify their motivations and needs. As a facilitator of leadership training programs and a keynote speaker, I engage and inspire audiences, helping them to understand and implement the crucial elements necessary for their success. My ability to organize thoughts proves instrumental in guiding leaders towards meaningful growth.

Partner with Greenhouse Solutions, and let’s embark on a journey of growth, excellence, and inspiring change together.

"Gillian created a safe space for me to better understand my own areas for growth and to work towards my goals. She was very supportive and allowed me time to gain self-awareness. Gillian equipped me with knowledge and gave me opportunities to become a stronger leader for my team."
D. Bosch
"As a coach, Gillian demonstrates an incredible balance of support and accountability.  She has a warm and engaging approach, and she creates a space where you feel truly listened to.  She can bring clarity to even the most complex situations, and she truly partners with you to reach your developmental goals."

"Gillian creates a comfortable space to explore perspectives that really helps to generate results. A great coach to help through expected and unexpected career transitions."
R. Quesnel
"Gillian is an important and trusted member of my support team. During our time working together she has helped me get unstuck and generate forward momentum on some goals that I had struggled to make progress on for far too long. I leave each of our conversations feeling clear, confident, and energized."
M. Jackson
"Gillian has an innate ability to hold a powerful, yet safe space; she listens both to what I am saying and not saying. Her razor-sharp questions gently push me out of my comfort zone, forcing me to question the stories I tell myself and the limiting beliefs that hold me back."
C. Johnson
"I had a great experience with Gillian! She’s helped me reframe my thinking about my strengths, how to approach crucial conversation, and how to be a better leader. Gillian has helped me zero-in on the core of what I’m thinking and feeling, and observing things in me that I hadn’t thought of before but truly resonated!"
L. Vanstone
As a solopreneur it is extremely valuable to have a coach to partner with to talk through business challenges as the business grows and scales. It was amazing with Gillian as she not only listened but she was extremely engaged week over week. Gillian has the ability to ask great questions to help her clients reach solution on their own, which is teaching us useful skills along the way.
