Meyler Campbell Digest: August 2026
Each month we share the latest from Meyler Campbell; we let you know all the news from the community and details of upcoming CPD and how you can book your place in the Events area. Featured each month in our Learn section, we share a range of curated resources which we hope you will find useful and interesting. Near the end of the Digest, we share how you can watch previous Event Recordings and listen to the Meyler Campbell Podcast Series.
In just a few weeks, we will be celebrating with the newest Meyler Campbell Mastered graduates at Graduation and we invite our alumni to join in the celebrations. If you, or someone you know, is interested in becoming a business coach as the next step in your professional journey we welcome your attendance at our Introduction to Mastered event on 9th September. Faculty Member Sheldon Daniel will be demonstrating a chemistry session at the next Coaching Fishbowl, and Mastered alumna Nina Dar’s AI in Coaching webinar will focus on AI’s impact on people.
From our Mastered alumni: we wish Nick Hedley & Anthony May our support for the 350 miles they are walking for young people; we share examples of websites of independent coaches from graduates who over a period of years have found their own voices; Mahima Mitra explores how workplace structures contribute to the motherhood penalty; Costas Kalisperas discusses the fear of staying relevant in an ever-changing world of work; Ritz Steytler explores the demands of leadership through transformation; and Mark Chamberlen muses on how liberating it can be to simply be curious.
Near the end of the Digest, you’ll find a range of curated resources which we hope you will find useful and interesting including information about a free to attend event on the Four Stages of the CEO-Board Relationship. Don’t forget you can also watch Event Recordings and listen to the Meyler Campbell Podcast Series too.

Wednesday 09 September, 1:30pm – 3:00pm (UK), Hybrid
If you or someone you know is exploring whether coaching could be the next step in your professional journey, why not join us at our next Introduction to Mastered session. It’s a great opportunity to ask your burning questions, meet the programme tutors, and hear from previous participants about their experiences.
Whether you’re thinking about transitioning to a portfolio career, exploring a second career in business coaching, or simply looking to deepen your coaching skills, the Mastered programme could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for. If you know someone who might be considering a similar path, we’d love you to share this with them.
Anyone joining this Introduction to Mastered event will also be invited to stay for the Coaching Fishbowl that follows shortly after.
Graduation 2026
Thursday 24th September, 4:00pm – 8:00pm (UK)
We are less than one month away from celebrating this year’s graduating class of 2026 as they mark the successful completion of the Meyler Campbell Mastered Programme. Graduation is a wonderful occasion for all our alumni to come together and celebrate with the newest graduates of our community.
While we would love to have the whole community join us, numbers are limited. If you would like to attend, please contact us to confirm your place and to recieve more information. For those who are graduating and are bringing guests please kindly send their names to milliefeatherstone@meylercampbell.com.
Websites of Independent Coaches
(Examples From The Community)
One of the steps that you might take as a coach – whether that is part of a coaching partnership or starting your journey as an independent coach – is to have your own website. But for some, it can be quite a daunting prospect knowing where to start.
If you are thinking of a website, we thought you might be interested in seeing examples of those developed by other members of the community (plus some thoughts they have kindly shared on how they got there).
These examples are from Meyler Campbell Mastered graduates who over a period of years have found their own voices. Also included are useful resources that can help you further your current thinking, and a reminder of the upcoming Building Your LinkedIn Brand event this October which will provide relevant insights.

Hedley May Walking 350 Miles For Young People
This September, the team at Hedley May – which includes Mastered graduates Nick Hedley and Anthony May – are walking the second leg of their 350-mile journey to raise £250,000 for young people in the UK that are out of work. Rather wonderfully, Hedley May are doing this in support of The King’s Trust (King Charles’ charity supporting young people who are struggling at school or unemployed) and Making The Leap (a social mobility charity also working with less advantaged young people and founded by fellow Mastered graduate Tunde Banjoko).
The team will start the second leg on Friday 11th September from where they finished up last year – Swallowfields, just outside Reading and arriving in Pewsey, Wiltshire late on Saturday afternoon. The ultimately destination is St Helen’s Oratory, Penzance with an ETA of 2032. We wish them the very best of luck and hope that they have enough plasters to cover the blister-tax!

Who are you outside of your job title?
