Katharine St John-Brooks, Jeremy Gomm and Anne Welsh explore aspects of internal coaching and supervision, including building trust, addressing hierarchical differences, and the role of internal coaches in organisations. They also touch on the challenges of coaching across cultures and the changing role of the supervisor in a post-pandemic world.

Katharine St John-Brooks is the author of the first book to focus exclusively on internal coaches, Internal Coaching – The Inside Story, published in 2014 and currently being updated for a second edition.

She is a speaker, contributor to numerous books on coaching and now a fiction author having written a thriller whose main character is a coach. Previously she worked in the UK Government (where her first thriller is set) and later set up her own management consultancy and executive coaching business.

Jeremy Gomm is an ILM Level 7 qualified supervisor and a practising supervisor, coach and mentor, largely for clients in organisations.

He was a voluntary director of EMCC UK for more than eight years during which he developed corporate membership and began a keen interest in internal coaching. This led to him setting up the first international conference exclusively for internal coaches, the International Internal Coaching Conference, in partnership with internal coaching associations in France, Belgium and Holland.

Anne Welsh has worked in the field of personal and professional development for over 30 years, both practising and training others in coaching, psychotherapy and counselling. In the last 10 years, she has specialised in executive coach training, supervision and executive coaching across many modalities. This includes The House of Commons and Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching.
