Barbara Walsh is a Director, Executive Coach, Coaching Consultant and Leadership Facilitator with Metaco Coaching, Consulting and Training, a company focused on executive and leadership development. With a business background spanning 35 years, Barbara has a solid understanding of the challenges with which leaders are faced in these times. Her clients include executives, leaders, high potential individuals, and teams, across a wide range of industries. She has worked with great diversity throughout South Africa, across Sub-Saharan Africa and abroad, and the clients and teams she coaches come from many different nationalities and cultures. Although she works with all aspects of Executive Development, Barbara’s specific interest is in Communication and Stakeholder Relationships. In an increasingly complex working environment, in this context she assists people for whom success depends on their ability to authentically influence, motivate and delegate, to achieve their results with the support and co-operation of others. Based in South Africa, Barbara has been coaching since qualifying in 2003, and has an MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change from Henley Business School (University of Reading) in the United Kingdom. She places great importance on her own continual personal and professional growth and development, and annually attends programmes and conferences with international leaders in the fields of coaching and leadership.
