Dr Benita Mayhead
Director for Coaching Practice
Benita has been in the field of learning and development since the 1980s, beginning her career in human resources within large corporates. Today, she enjoys her role as an executive coach and coach supervisor, collaborating with mid to senior level leaders, teams and fellow coaches.
Benita has an MA and a professional doctorate in coaching and mentoring, both obtained from Oxford Brookes University. Her doctoral research focused on the ethics and duty of care of executive coaches. Her research has been published in various journals, and in 2023, Henley Business School honoured her with the Research Paper of the Year award for one of her contributions. She continues to write, and a book is underway.
Her two daughters, family and friends come first for Benita, as does keeping fit and well. Living in Surrey with her husband, she can be found out walking with her dogs, most often at sunrise.
