In this episode of Coaching in Conversation, Tracy Sinclair speaks with Master Certified Coach Ailbhe Harrington about the intersection of vulnerability and mastery in coaching. Ailbhe shares her journey into coaching, emphasising the importance of self-awareness, compassion, and continuous personal growth. They discuss how mastery involves being present, connecting deeply with clients, and the courage to be vulnerable. Ailbhe also reflects on her personal experiences, including the recent loss of her husband, and how it impacts her coaching practice. The conversation highlights the role of intuition, the importance of trusting the coaching process, and the unique value of human connection in a fast-paced, results-driven world.

Ailbhe Harrington works with leaders as a thinking partner, providing a reflective space where they can explore, discover, and liberate themselves. This enables them to embody the full essence of who they are and who they are becoming, and in turn bring greater value, positive impact, and improved performance to the people they serve. She believes that everyone carries within themselves the resources for self-understanding and change, and that, given the right conditions, individuals can tap into their own answers and access their full potential. 

With over thirty years’ experience in learning and development, Ailbhe has coached leaders and teams since 2003. She works with a wide and diverse client base, both nationally and internationally, supporting C-suite executives, directors, and middle management. Alongside her executive coaching practice, she has trained coaches on ICF-accredited programmes for fifteen years and serves as a coach supervisor. Ailbhe is an ICF Master Certified Coach and has trained in a variety of approaches, including Positive Intelligence, Transactional Analysis, Multiple Brain Integration Techniques, and NLP, among others. 

She is passionate about continuous learning, travel, sharing food with friends, gardening, yoga, spending time in nature with her dog, and finding meaningful ways to give back to others.
