Peter Baily has been working as a coach for 9 years through his company, Because It’s There.
He was trained in ontological coaching by the Newfield Group under Dan Newby (Newfield Vice President) and Aboobi Shabi (Newfield European Director of Coaching) – through a comprehensive training course accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
As a coach, Peter draws from two valuable learning arenas: business and mountaineering.
He started his career in advertising as a copywriter for Ogilvy & Mather in Hong Kong. For ten years, he brought award-winning communication solutions to hundreds of marketing problems for clients including American Express, The Economist, Le Meridien Hotels and BMW.
Preferring to own business challenges, he crossed disciplines and became Marketing Director of bigsave.com launching the internet company in 1999. Bigsave.com was voted one of Britain’s strongest internet brands by Superbrands Council 20th November 2000. Passionate about creating brands, he took the role of Marketing Director for Crussh Juice Bars.
While learning the rigors of business, Peter was also learning about the intricacies of human nature through mountaineering and rock climbing - a parallel world of personal mastery, mental reframing, inter-relationships and team work. His accomplishment include Cho Oyu (8000m) without oxygen or support, The Nose on El Capitan (Yosemite National Park) and Mt McKinley, Alaska.
Shaped by life experiences, he now believes passionately in the ability of coaching to help individuals achieve what they want to achieve; and is permanently developing his own skills through mentoring, peer-coaching and learning groups.
