Episode 11 - Compassionate leadership, coaching with horses and Reiki with Fay Manvell
Fay Manvell, a certified coach, supervisor and mentor coach, lover of horses and reiki practitioner.
As an executive coach and dedicated advocate for personal and professional development, Fay 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.
Fay’s passion for coaching and her 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.
Also, Fay is currently in the very early stages of writing a book called ‘RedMare Tales’ that explores her own development journey through relationship with her horse Georgie.
