Personal and Executive Coaching with Carolyn Mumby

I work with individuals to create and develop their vision, recognise what is blocking their development and to become more confident and equipped to achieve their ambitions and aspirations in the workplace and in life.

Whether you are seeking executive or personal coaching, training, development workshops or supervision, I am delighted to introduce the services that I provide.

Personal Coaching

We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we respond. Our personal growth can come from processing difficult things, as well as through identifying and following our highest aspirations for ourselves.

I know from experience that great hope and optimism can be released in the coaching process, but it comes from an acknowledgement of what "is", as well as stimulation to develop new ideas and try new approaches. My experience of developing myself and others has helped me recognise that it is important to take a holistic approach, working with emotions, cognitions, beliefs and the felt sense to deepen understanding and enable transformational development to take place both within the sessions and in the real lives of those who come for coaching.

My guiding principle is that the ultimate solutions can be found within each person and that with reflective space, a respectful approach, support and challenge, and the use of some creative tools you will gain insight and confidence that will help you to be authentic and realise your goals.

As a qualified therapist in Gestalt and Contribution Training, and an ILM qualified coach, I am confident to work at the boundary between coaching and therapy, and can help you develop the psychological and emotional insight you need to make deep and lasting positive changes. I will clearly contract with you for the particular work that you would like to do.

As a qualified Myers Briggs Type Indicator MBTI® Step 1 practitioner, I can facilitate an assessment to enable you to identify your personality profile. The MBTI® provides a positive and constructive framework, which increases our awareness of how we generate and express energy, gather and pay attention to information, make decisions and operate in the world. It provides insight into how others may have a different but equally valid approach and the effect can be a dramatic improvement in our ability to communicate and influence others within our professional and personal relationships.

As your personal coach I will

  • Listen to you
  • Respect you
  • Help you reflect on your life to develop both insight and self-acceptance
  • Share tools and creative ideas to help you develop your vision
  • Encourage you
  • Challenge you
  • Maintain confidentiality

Sessions are negotiated with you to take account of your particular requirements and the coaching sessions take place at locations jointly agreed, which are free from interruption or distraction. Session times range from 1 to 2 hours.


Executive Coaching

The focus of Executive Coaching is on the professional self, working with issues such as confidence, flexibility, innovation, communication, building and motivating teams, problem solving, stress reduction, authenticity, and making decisions.

I will support you to:

  • Increase your awareness of your strengths and explore how you may be limiting your abilities and options
  • Act authentically from a place of grounded self-awareness
  • Enable those you support to work to their full potential and reach their goals within the workplace
  • Be creative in experimenting with positive actions, to develop your confidence and your ability to communicate powerfully and effectively
  • Take the action you need to maintain your insight, vision, resilience and confidence

The coaching contract also takes in the needs of the organisation and aims to motivate you to focus on ongoing performance, which in the best-case scenario finds a fit with your own personal aspirations and ambitions.

As a qualified Myers Briggs Type Indicator MBTI® Step 1 practitioner, I am available to facilitate an assessment to enable you to identify your personality profile. The MBTI tool can help you to:

  • Improve working relationships
  • Develop your leadership style
  • Improve communication
  • Make use of problem solving strategies
  • Help manage change
  • Understand your own and others reactions to stress

As an ILM qualified Leadership and Executive coach, and member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council I have experience of coaching leaders in the corporate, public and voluntary sectors. I have particular expertise in coaching people in transition and those seeking to develop their own business potential.


I shall be providing both executive and personal coaching at the Sunflower Centre from January 2012 onwards, initially on Wednesday evenings.  You can contact me by telephone or email:
