OUR COACHES
OVERVIEW
Matt brings more than 30 years of experience as a doctor and a senior leader in the NHS, having worked as a general practitioner, medical director and chief executive in NHS organisations across West Yorkshire, working in partnership with others and leading organisations and large scale change programmes, usually, but certainly not always, to a successful outcome. He has done a lot of reflecting and a lot of learning, and found the experience of working with a coach so challenging and helpful in his work and his life that he decided to become a practitioner himself.
Since moving into a coaching and leadership development arena and establishing his own consultancy business, he has focussed upon coaching and mentoring colleagues from healthcare and other sectors, and has discovered that, wherever we happen to work, the personal, team and organisational challenges are very similar and generally involve our relationship with ourselves, with others and with our work.
MATT WALSH
APPROACH
Matt's approach is a whole person approach and is based upon listening deeply. He is able to create safe, supported and gently challenging environments where it is possible to reflect and begin to understand what is really happening. He understands well that whilst we can not always change the world, we can change the way that we choose to respond to it and that it is possible to change the choices that we make about how we might go about doing that.
PERSONAL
Matt is a musician, cyclist and published poet. He loves walking in wild country, and the power of words.
