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.
Ann Orton handing over CRUK lead to Penny Moyle
In 2019, Ann Orton initiated Meyler Campbell’s collaboration with CRUK, through which there have now been 100 successful pairings of Meyler Campbell graduates with CRUK’s researchers on their Future Leaders Programme. We are most grateful to Ann Orton for her efforts in creating these pro-bono coaching opportunities, many of which have been truly transformative for both the coaches and the cancer researchers involved. Faculty member Penny Moyle is excited to be taking on this role and is looking forward to continuing, and even expanding, the positive impact for both Meyler Campbell and CRUK.

In addition to supporting our partnership with CRUK through pro bono coaching, there are other opportunities to volunteer. Currently we are looking for a member of the community to join the CRUK Research Careers Committee as a skills assessor, to help review fellowship candidates. Successful candidates will become eligible to benefit from the coaching offered by Meyler Campbell coaches as above.

Tales from Beyond
What do people do post-Mastered? In our Tales from Beyond series, graduates of our business coaching programme share their many (and varied) stories, from career changes and professional transformations to breakthroughs in their coaching practice. These stories offer a glimpse into what’s possible when leaders invest in themselves.
Tales from Beyond: Lesley Cotton
This month, we hear from Mastered graduate Lesley Cotton, a former board director specialising in HR, who has experience working across multiple privately owned, corporate, and private equity businesses. Since graduating in 2022, Lesley has approached her roles with a coaching mindset and firmly believes that having the ability to know when to flex between coach, mentor and advisor delivers sustainable change.
