What is Glean?
Glean (also written Glean and Gleam) is a Hong Kong-based leadership education and executive coaching company. It designs bespoke learning programmes, experiential labs, wellbeing workshops and coaching for organisations, teams and individuals who want to lead well in a changing world.
What services does Glean provide?
Glean works across three practice areas. Organisational Learning covers leadership development, innovation labs, transformation and change management, customer experience and stakeholder partnerships. Experiential Lab delivers immersive sessions around real business challenges such as retail innovation, brand transformation and sustainability storytelling. Wellbeing Discovery covers positive psychology, burnout prevention, sustainable performance, the Stanford Designing Your Life method and team and individual coaching.
Who does Glean work with?
Retail and luxury groups, corporate teams going through transformation, brand and product teams, leadership teams improving partnership capability, organisations designing wellbeing programmes, and individuals or teams designing their life and meaningful work.
How is Glean different from a traditional leadership training programme?
Traditional programmes tend to be generic templates, theory-heavy and event-based, so the inspiration fades when the workshop ends. Glean engagements are built around the client's real business situations, grounded in real leadership decisions and actions, and followed by coaching so that new behaviours become lasting capability.
What is the Glean Method?
A five-step journey: understand the business context, diagnose capability gaps and the leadership behaviours that matter most, design a tailored learning journey, facilitate practical experiences grounded in real situations, and sustain the change through follow-up coaching.
Who leads Glean?
Gigi Cheung, Lead Educator and Transformation Strategist. She is a former Global Marketing Director and General Manager with cross-sector leadership experience in hospitality, retail, cultural destinations and FMCG, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at HKU Business School, HKUST Business School and CUHK.
Where is Glean based and where does it work?
Glean is based in Hong Kong and works with organisations and individuals in Hong Kong and across the Asia-Pacific region, in person and online.
What outcomes can participants expect?
Greater leadership clarity, deeper self-connection, stronger collaboration and partnership, and learning that keeps fuelling growth well beyond the session.
