Pamela McLean

Pam McLean was there in the beginning when coaching was an emerging field. Now three decades later as the CEO and co-founder of The Hudson Institute of Coaching, she is even more passionate about the profound power of coaching. 

An accomplished author, Pam’s latest work with Self as Coach takes a close look at developmental coaching that focuses on deeper, lasting changes for the client. It also examines the internal landscape of the coach and all that is required to be at our very best when working with others.  

Pam has served on Harvard’s JFK Women’s Leadership Board, the faculty of Saybrook University in San Francisco, California, and the Editorial Board of IJCO, ISA  and LikeMinded in San Francisco. She is a frequent key presenter on the use of self and Self As Coach and Self as Leader, going deeper to do our best work. 

Pam lives in Santa Barbara, California, where she and her late husband raised three sons. When she steps away from work you can find her in her kitchen cooking, outside enjoying nature, and spending time with family and friends. She loves to travel the world, exploring and experiencing other cultures, customs and foods.
