Maggie Marriott - Bio

Maggie Marriot is an independent coach, supervisor, organisational consultant and an associate with Relational Change.

She's done loads of work on big organisational change programmes in the UK Government and in the private sector.

She's interested in bringing Gestalt practice to organisational issues such as:

- lack of connection to the natural world in decision-making and

- understanding sexual attraction at work.

She cares passionately that organisations remember they are part of a wider ecology and that they move from *ego* to *eco*-leadership.
