The monthly Meyler Campbell Digest will keep you up to date on all things Meyler Campbell and will provide you with a range of some of the best content we have found in the past month.
Each month we share the latest from Meyler Campbell; we also 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 news from the community and 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.

Seasonal Message from Guy Ashton
As the year comes to a close and we look ahead to 2025, Guy Ashton shares his seasonal message to the community looking back over the last 12 months.
“2024 has been a significant year for Meyler Campbell with many ‘firsts’ alongside a continued devotion to providing the very best training and development of coaches and coaching… Underlying everything we do is a passionate commitment to creating an environment where people flourish and help others flourish through adopting a coaching approach to their most important relationships; clients, colleagues, team members, partners and even friends and family. Conversation by conversation, we help make the world a little bit healthier than it otherwise might have been”.
It has also been announced that Guy will be stepping down as Meyler Campbell CEO at the end of December 2024.
“I look forward to continuing my relationship with Meyler Campbell, its students, its alumni and its clients, and to seeing the business go from strength to strength – we are fortunate to be part of a very special community.”
We thank Guy for his dedication to the business these last 21 months, and we wish him well for the future and look forward to continuing working with him as a Faculty member. Simon Fenton, Mastered graduate, Board member and a Senior Partner at Spencer Stuart, will take over as Interim CEO from 1st January 2025.
