Margaret Walsh

With other 20 years' coaching experience, Margaret works with a wide range of coaching clients across all employment sectors ranging from CEOs to specialist staff.  Margaret has an extensive background in Human Resources and is also a qualified psychotherapist; she has the flexibility to work at psychological depth to facilitate clients gaining an insight into patterns of behaviours that may have long roots. 

Working outside in nature is a core part of how Margaret likes to teach coaching and she finds this often builds a much better perspective from which coaches can enhance their effectiveness.  She has seen that often when people are in nature they can think more clearly and deeply and filter ouf the "noise" of  21st century living that can be very distractng.  Seeing students create greater self-awareness about their own coaching style fuels Margaret's belief that, to be an effective coach, you need to have excellent self-awareness.  Nature is used a a facilitator to sharpen the sensory awareness of the coach and this is also used in the coaching work. 

Finally, Margaret is inspired by the language used to describe nature and the parallels in coaching.  She has seen how metaphors from nature can helpt to capture a feeling very effectively and helps to understand that we are natural beings and connected to a much bigger living system.
