Peter Cobbe - Profile

" Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field, I will meet you there" Rumi : 13th Century Sufi Poet

This is the field where I prefer to work , where we suspend judgement , where we walk and talk,where learning can be provoked and gained.

 I am an accredited coach with over 12 years of coaching experience and an associate consultant with Penna (UK) dealing with career, life,executive and business coaching and counselling.

I have an MBA, BA and I am a member of the CIPD, International Coaching Federation and Association for Coaching. I work in mentoring and coaching partnerships with executives to help achieve gains of importance to them.

In my private practice I have helped people of all ages, different cultures and job levels to understand more about themselves, their impact on others and how to develop across major dimensions in life.

 My career experience includes HR Director and senior executive roles in Barclays plc and Tesco plc leading major transformation and complex change programmes reporting at Board level .

My philosophy is to totally respect the integrity and confidentiality of my clients building on their existing great skills and abilities .

" Tell me and I forget.Teach me and I remember. involve me and I learn"  Benjamin Franklin
