WHO WE ARE

Becky Seale, Founder

I am a professionally trained coach, experienced facilitator and social entrepreneur and my life's work is to support mutual flourishing – in work and in society. 

 

I caught the coaching bug while working at health think-tank, The King’s Fund. There I ran leadership courses for health professionals and executives, and for patients and carers. As a facilitator, I saw first-hand how powerful it was to bring people together to learn how to coach each other, as they worked through real-life issues. So, I set up Coaching Communities – a platform and approach to enable peer-led personal development.

 

As a coach, my focus is to help people access the resources they already have, so that they can direct these towards reaching their potential. I bring in techniques and frameworks that draw on psychology, neuroscience, embodiment practices and mindfulness. 

​

I have a Diploma in Professional Coaching Skills, and I'm a member of the International Coaching Federation. I am also a trained Myers Briggs practitioner and yoga teacher and I love climbing mountains, cycling & foraging food. 

Jo Maybin, Associate

I am a skilled coach and group facilitator, and an experienced researcher and writer. I draw on these skills to support leaders who want to work differently to empower communities and frontline staff.

​

My practice is informed by ideas and tools from across the social sciences which I adapt to suit the needs of my partners and clients. I regularly contribute to collaborative research and writing. 

 

Clients particularly appreciate my catalytic questions, and the way I combine emotional intelligence with analytic rigour.  I help them (re)connect with their purpose and find new opportunities and energy for change.

 

I am a Fellow and Coach at the national health charity The King’s Fund, where I support leaders working in the NHS, local authorities and the voluntary and community sectors to experiment with new ways of working, and to learn as they go. 

​

I am an accredited EMCC Coaching Practitioner and a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. I hold a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. I am also a mother to two young boys. I love sea swimming, contemporary dance and long walks.

We partner with:

Coaching Communities are skilled networks that empower people to lead their own change, together.

​

We partner with local communities and organisations who want to want to tackle significant social issues in your patch pragmatically and powerfully, and know you can’t do it alone.

​

As a social enterprise, our focus is on enabling those who have traditionally been disadvantaged, disempowered or typically led, to take charge and lead change. 

​

Our simple formula

​

We foster empowered and collaborative action in organisations and communities by giving people skills and a network. It’s a simple formula! â€‹

1) seed leadership skills amongst those who are typically ‘led’

2) grow a network of peers who can empower each other to achieve their goals

3) watch them enact ideas that you would never have thought of and take stewardship of them
