WHERE CHANGE HAPPENS
The Journey
Behind the Coach
I’m Gerry Mulvihill... I spent over 35 years in the corporate world – leading, driving and co-ordinating organisational change across industries including Banking, Telecoms, Tech Start-Up, Energy, and Financial Regulation - guiding and co-ordinating teams, systems, and complex business transformations.
Life has dealt me challenges too... navigating professional pressures including redundancy and organisation changes with conflict cultures along the way. Whilst ‘climbing the corporate ladder’, I was also going through divorce, starting again and balancing family and financial responsibilities.
These experiences haven’t just shaped me - they strengthened me. They taught me resilience, courage, and the power that clarity brings when everything feels uncertain.
When Success Stops
Feeling Like Success
On the surface, I had it all. But life has a way of reminding us that success on paper isn’t always the same as fulfilment in our hearts.
So came the point, I faced my own turning point. It wasn’t a sudden lightning bolt. It was a slow build — the signs that my energy was fading, the things I valued were being squeezed out, and the life and success I’d built didn’t quite feel like mine anymore.
I knew it was time to step into my own… take control of my future - all leading me to the bigger question:
“What’s Next?”
Boardroom to Breakthroughs
So, in 2021 I left the certainty of my corporate career, stepping into the unknown. Not because I had all the answers, but because I knew I needed to find them. The certainty, structure, and identity I’d known were gone. I had to rediscover who I was, what I stood for, and what now mattered most.
That pivot became The Pivotal Space — a coaching passion and practice to support real personal transformation
Where professionals and life changers ask “What’s Next?”, and breakthrough what is holding them back… in those pivotal moments where change isn’t optional but growth is…to explore all aspects of their Life — balancing career, relationships, energy, and life purpose — and step into their next chapter with confidence.
I believe success isn’t just about a career or money. It’s about building a life and how you live it, that feels balanced and meaningful…and doing it your way…

What makes me tick
I am passionate about supporting others.
People and connections are at the heart of everything that I do. My personal growth has been a result of this and central to this - both in life and in business.
Stepping out of corporate, creating a new chapter, and building The Pivotal Space has been as much about evolving myself as it has been about supporting others. Each new challenge, pivot, and learning moment has shaped how I show up as a coach, entrepreneur, parent, and partner.
Family grounds me, inspires me, and reminds me what really matters. I live in South West London, with my partner Jo. My 3 children are all forging their own career paths.
Socialising and travel fuel my curiosity, joy, and sense of adventure. I’ve always been an explorer at heart. I have a passion for travelling, seeing new places and experiencing different cultures.
I love all sports, both playing and watching – I run fitness classes, and enjoy running,
rowing, golf and ski-ing.
How I choose to live, knowing what’s important to me, and all of my varied
experiences shape who I am today.
