Publications
It is my hope and desire to write words that evoke awareness and challenge the status quo. I feel privileged to have had original research published, especially in the context of my beloved and troubled homeland, Northern Ireland. I also feel deeply honoured to contribute with co-authors, chapters and sections to influential coaching books and industry press.
The following sections highlight various pieces of research and writing. Some of them are free, while others need to be purchased (links provided). Please feel free to contact me with any feedback or questions.
