PeopleTalking Modern Day Elder
Edna is an executive coach, accredited coach supervisor for coaches, and also facilitates learning programs for groups and teams. She brings to her work more than 30 years’ international corporate experience in management, sales, marketing and consulting, working for multinationals in Australia, UK and North America.
Edna spent most of her corporate career working in the IT sector, spending time with Wang Computer, Attache Software and Microsoft. With Microsoft Australia, she was responsible for initiating innovative new sales and licensing models and managing large national accounts. The business development work she did with tertiary education provider TAFE, led to TAFE becoming one of Microsoft’s largest global key accounts. With Microsoft UK, Edna was responsible for marketing and sales into the education sector, leading her team through the development of new marketing and licensing programs to address the emerging market of families and students across Europe.
Edna is now based in Australia, working broadly in the field of behavioural change. This has included establishing a psychotherapy practice as well as being an executive coach and facilitator. Through her work as a psychotherapist, she became proficient in running groups and working with family systems, thereby acquiring a systemic approach that now informs her work with corporates. She chose ultimately to close her therapy practice and focus solely on her coaching work, facilitating individuals, teams and whole organisations to become more effective.
She provides supervision to other executive coaches individually and in groups, supports the learning of group process and dynamics, and of coach supervision training in various education contexts. She has a proven track record in helping individuals and groups become more capable and effective through becoming more self-aware and skilled in relating with one another, as well as gain broader understanding of group dynamics and the impact of systemic influences on their performance.
