Hi, I'm Paula Phelan
A life and leadership coach and a facilitator of learning and growth.
Serving individuals and teams in Arts, Education and Community settings.
Meet Paula Phelan
I have passion for and experience working with individuals and teams in Arts, Education and Community settings. My work focuses on supporting individuals and teams to use their minds as their greatest resource. I am compassionately fierce but also fiercely compassionate and I craft the safest of spaces for individuals or teams to try out new ways of thinking and doing.
I have spent over 20 years working in various leadership positions in Education, Arts and Youth settings. Throughout this time, I have worked with many individuals and teams to develop their thinking, create new aspirations and live out their desired personal and/or professional life.
Paula's Mission
I really care about your success and will be your greatest supporter throughout this process. I will help you consider and develop your actions and I will hold you accountable in the most open and safe way.
Working with a coach changed my mindset and subsequently my life. I believe you can achieve your best life by giving time to yourself to think, learn and grow.

At the end of my coaching sessions with Paula, I’m always left thinking, how does she do that? How does she make me see my life so differently and what’s her magic formula?
A year on from our sessions I can still see the impact on my daily and professional life. If you get the chance, work with Paula.
