In this episode host Claire Bown talks with Beth Clare McManus, a coaching psychologist, artist and researcher based in Manchester, UK.

Beth's work as a coach and supervisor aims to support people to be happy and well in their professional practice.

Listen in as Beth shares how museum and gallery spaces offer unique potential for coaching - creating softer, more reflective environments where the space itself becomes part of the coaching process.

If you're interested in exploring innovative ways of using museum spaces for arts-based coaching, or want to enhance your understanding of how public spaces can foster reflection and growth, listen to this episode.
