Listen "Coaching in the Energetic Field with Fay Manvell"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Coaching in Conversation, Tracy Sinclair is joined once again by Fay Manville for a deep dive into the role of presence and energy in coaching, inspired by equine facilitation. Fay shares her experiences and insights on how working with horses, especially her horse Georgie, has informed her coaching practice. They discuss the importance of nonverbal communication, the subtleties of energy shifts, and the impact of presence on the coaching relationship. The conversation explores practical methods, such as body scans and grounding practices, to enhance presence and improve client interactions. Fay also emphasizes the parallels between human and equine relationships, underscoring how noticing without judgment and adapting to subtle cues can enrich coaching outcomes.Fay Manvell, MSc, PCC is an executive coach and dedicated advocate for personal and professional development. She is deeply passionate about empowering leaders to unlock their true potential through coaching, particularly executives in career transition and senior leaders on executive talent succession. Her desire is to support leaders in making decisions that are grounded in integrity, morality, and high ethical standing - for the good of their people, organisation, climate, and wider systems.Since becoming an executive coach in 2015, Fay has immersed herself in ongoing professional development and deepening her expertise through achieving Professional Certified Coach (PCC) status, extensive coach training (including a three-year MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change through Henley Business School), qualifying as a Coach Supervisor and Mentor Coach for the ICF, and completing Equine Facilitated Learning through Herd Institute in 2022.Fay's passion for coaching and deep love for horses naturally led her to explore the profound and transformational effects of equine facilitated learning. Combining years of experience as a coach with the intuitive and empathetic nature of horses, she discovered how these magnificent animals can unlock deeper self-awareness and compassion in leaders. Her dissertation research, titled "Unbridled Compassion: Exploring the Effects of Equine Facilitated Learning on Enhancing Compassion in Leadership," delves into the transformative power of working with horses to foster compassionate leadership.Fay is excited to share insights from this research and engage with fellow professionals who share a commitment to harnessing the power of horses in personal and leadership development. She looks forward to contributing to the ongoing conversation about the exceptional impact of Equine Facilitated Learning and its potential to shape compassionate, effective leaders.You can connect with Fay on LinkedIn at Linkedin.com/in/faymanvell.Learn more about Coach Advancement by Tracy Sinclair.
