Myles Mayne, PCA Founder Member and Business Coach
My clients quite rightly expect coaching to make an extraordinary difference to what they are able to achieve personally and in their business. My aim is to make that difference a reality as quickly as possible while developing the way that they think and act so that the changes are long lasting.
Key areas of expertise include Personal development and communication, risk management, business strategy, product development, company mergers, change management, communication and HR. After some time in the military I built a career in the financial and professional services sector in client facing consulting, sales, marketing and senior management roles
Business Interests include academic research. I particularly enjoyed working with Bath University School of Management on research that linked business practice, in particular human resource policies, with corporate performance and business value and work with Nottingham university on how employees view their employers.
These studies led me into work looking at behavioural change and performance with a special focus corporate culture change and organisational adaption and mitigation linked to climate change.
Understanding how behaviours impact corporate and individual results has impressed on me how effective and professional coaching can be the key to unlock a largely untapped treasure trove in businesses of any size in any sector.
My Coaching Approach builds on broad business experience enhanced by my consulting, management and mentoring skills.
My studies at the Adler Institute in Canada have been a foundation for my professional business coaching career with an emphasis on the positive psychology approach and the 'Co-active Coaching' methodology. I have undertaken a number of advanced courses with the Oxford Group, Human Technics and the Bristol Business School at the University of the West of England. In addition to the Inscape DiSC behaviour profiling methodology I use various tools to enable quick assessment of my clients abilities. I have been honoured to serve on two large corporate thought leadership groups.
Why Coaching?
“For me, it’s about enjoying the moment a client realises that coaching has helped them reach the solution to a major business issue. They can see what amazing benefits their reaching a goal will bring and the certainty that this will now happen”.

My Coaching Philosophy
Director, manager and employee behaviours impact on so many aspects of business and determine the success or otherwise of key activities. These emotional and psychological behaviours will be influenced by leadership, procedures, training, incentives and peer pressure. Lasting change in behaviours will only be brought about by first understanding and then altering deeply held values and beliefs in a constructive and positive approach to suit current or changing needs and conditions. I have recently written a paper on Coaching and Diversity.
Like other PCA coaches I use behavioural profiling as a certified trainer in my work with clients.
Accreditations/membership/qualifications I continue to take courses at the (International Coach Federation accredited) Adler School of Professional Coaching and have taken the Oxford Group Advanced Coaching Course, the Human Technics Advanced certificate in Coaching and Mentoring, am a current member of the ICF seeking the highest level of accreditation which is internationally recognised and have studied both NLP and Emotional Intelligence.
Having spent a little time in HM Armed Forces including a stint at RMA Sandhurst I acquired some valuable knowledge of leadership. In the world of business I trained in the Miller Heimann system of professional selling, the PACE methodology of strategic account management and completed team building and effectiveness training at the Ashridge School of Management. people and how they can be their very best is my passion.
In summary, I look to improve the way people interact with each other and to bring about real, meaningful and lasting change in behaviours, performance and relationships. I use my extensive business experience and creativity working through the medium of professional coaching and mentoring.
