Meet our Managing Director

Gemma Rolstone
When I started Delphinium in 2016, the idea was really borne out of recognising the need for ‘accidental’ managers to proactively develop their people management and leadership skills. I should know – I was an accidental manager myself!
My first career was as a solicitor. It was a profession I was drawn to from the age of 11 although it took me in a direction I wasn’t expecting. A restructure at my firm in 2007 introduced me to managing a team. I can’t say that management was ever on my agenda; nevertheless, I was eager to do well. As with many accidental managers, I was placed into a role without any formal training or development in leadership and management. So, I took ownership of my own learning around the subject. It’s fair to say that it was a baptism of fire, but I was proud that over the several years, alongside practising civil litigation, I could count the achievement of improving personal and team performance, and employee engagement.
Over time, I came to realise that my passion for helping others had grown and outweighed the love I had for practising the Law. By this time, I was (very informally) coaching a couple of friends who were running their own businesses. At their suggestion, I started to explore whether helping others to develop themselves personally and professionally could, in fact, become my new profession. Of course, leaving a career I had studied long and hard for was a big decision. But the pull of supporting others to reach their full potential was stronger than the desire to continue practising.
In 2016, I founded Delphinium and time has definitely shown that my purpose in life is to support others in developing themselves and helping them to reach their full potential.
