About Mike Payne

Mike is a coach and creative facilitator who supports the head, heart and soul together as one.

His background has ranged from working in fiercely competitive commercial settings, within caring and therapeutic charitable environments, as a professional soldier, on action research coaching projects with The New Economics Foundation and delivering Coach the Coaches experiential training. He is a qualified trainer for the UN-accredited Transition Launch and is an individual and organisational Systemic Constellator.

This breadth of perspective and experience has fed a curiosity to explore new ways of working beyond those currently deemed sufficient or accessible, of working with all the senses and ensuring all voices are heard, seeking the creative edges; supporting those with a 'fractured soul'. He has been particularly influenced by deep ecology and coaching methods. Underlying Mike's approach is a desire for a more balanced, more inter-connected, more compassionate world.

"It's no surprise that after I once called Mike a 'professional good egg' the description was used by other professionals who know him."

Mike is an approved supplier with Business Link, a mentor with Nottinghamshire Business Venture and also with the East Midlands School For Social Entrepreneurs.
