“I found both the course and you both inspiring, and it’s been very natural and effortless to put what I’ve learnt into practice. I always knew that you, Irene, were brilliant having worked with you many times over the years. However, I’ve also found you, Margaret, totally inspirational and have very much enjoyed working with you. So thank you very much to both of you.”
Ade Derbyshire-Moore,
Strategic Account Manager, Lepaya
“The Diploma course has been really fascinating, really rich. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much so quickly, and I think all the Practicums were so useful, giving us a huge amount of experience right off the bat. I feel I got so much more out of the course than I was expecting. As someone who had no experience of coaching, it’s given me huge confidence in my ability to coach and it’s been great working with and getting to know such a fantastic group of participants.”
Tayler Cresswell,
Director, Make (Good) Trouble CIC
“Thank you so much for the detailed feedback on my coaching! I loved Andy’s profound observations, remarks and most of all his recommendations where I can still improve. This is a really valuable part of the Diploma programme.”
Barbara Mieg,
Leadership & Career Coach
“This time last year I was feeling lost, demotivated and unsure of what the future held for me and my role in the NHS (who wasn’t eh?) 🫥 so when my wonderful friend Stephen Egri Assoc CIPD FLPI told me about MurphyBishop Ltd. Diploma in Systemic Coaching I signed up thinking it would be something ‘nice’ to do for me amid all the chaos and uncertainty…
Little did I realise just how profoundly transformative, inspirational, empowering, hopeful and truly JOYFUL an experience it would turn out to be! The Faculty of MurphyBishop has created the most special of spaces, where everyone is nurtured, encouraged, celebrated and guided to understand systemic thinking in the most holistic and inspiring way – it has simply changed me, personally and professionally for the better and my only regret is not knowing about it sooner!!!
So if you’ve read this far (!) and are feeling curious or excited – go for it! sign up to the next cohort in September or feel free to drop me a message if you want to hear more – I promise you won’t regret it!!! ✨”

“The Diploma course has truly shifted how I listen, think, and support others. I’ve had the privilege of learning alongside a cohort of thoughtful, curious, and courageous professionals. The conversations we shared and the perspectives we explored made this a deeply human and humbling experience. Systemic coaching has already begun to enrich how I work with leaders and boards — bringing a wider lens, deeper presence, and more meaningful conversations to the table. I’m weaving these insights into how I show up as a coach, mentor or consultant, helping individuals and organisations navigate complexity with more clarity, connection, and compassion.”
Denise Walshe,
Non-Executive Director & Fractional CFO
“Thank you to Irene and Margaret for their exceptional guidance, support and feedback throughout my systemic coaching program journey. Their expertise and mentorship have been invaluable in helping me progress toward my ICF accreditation with confidence and clarity. Along with the support and interactions of the rest of the delegates on the programme, it was an extremely valuable investment.”

Business Owner, Blue Streak Performance
“Irene and Margaret are experienced, capable and enthusiastic facilitators who, while taking what they do seriously, don’t take themselves too seriously – on the Advanced Diploma they successfully create a playful, light and safe space in which everyone can learn. The content is grounded in robust academic theory but delivered in an accessible, engaging and practical way adjusting effortlessly to the needs of a diverse group.”
Deborah Mattsson Clarke,
Coach, Facilitator, Trainer – Global Development Network AB & Educe Partners Inc.
“This program has been profoundly transformative. The systematic approach has inspired me and offered richer insights compared to other methods, as it considers the coachee’s context, networks, and connections. I am now better equipped to have meaningful, constructive, and creative conversations that help others unlock their superpowers and maximize their potential. If you’re reading this and wondering whether this program is right for you, it just might be. You’ll develop invaluable skills, regardless of whether you aim to become a professional coach in the future. It’s about learning how to be a present, active listener, sparking positive thinking, and supporting others in their development. You will be an even stronger inspiring leader. ”
