One of Australia’s first and most experienced executive coaches, Chip McFarlane has coached internationally, in the US, Europe, China, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Japan, Ethiopia, Malaysia, and Australia across a broad spectrum of industries. Having worked with C-suite, Managing Partners, Board Members, Senior Executives and importantly their teams, Chip believes in the importance of helping a team move beyond high performing to high value-adding for all its stakeholders (including the Earth).
He holds an MCC credential with the International Coaching Federation. In the domain of coach development, Chip was one of the founders and remains senior faculty of one of the pre-eminent coach training organisations in the Asia Pacific region, the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL).
Chip was chosen as one of twelve inaugural international coaches by the globally recognised philanthropic organisation, EthicalCoach. The initiative began providing pro bono coaching to NGO leaders and their teams in Ethiopia, and now beyond that to the world.

Being a shaman enriches Chip’s poetic and symbolic take on life and its greater mysteries.
