The people behind PasedaLeader

Experienced people. A shared way of working.

PasedaLeader brings together experienced coaches and practitioners who understand that meaningful leadership development goes deeper than skills and behaviour.

Founded by Angela Cox, the team is trained to work with the Paseda methodology, combining coaching, psychology and human development to help leaders understand what drives the way they think, behave and respond.

Different backgrounds and areas of expertise bring breadth to the team. A shared philosophy, methodology and standard of delivery bring consistency.

Meet Angela Cox

Founder of PasedaLeader & Creator of the Human-Centric coaching methodology

Angela Cox is Managing Director of PasedaLeader and creator of the Paseda360 method, bringing together her experience as a senior leader and transformation consultant with more than 8,000 hours of coaching practice.

Having led organisational change herself, Angela understands the responsibility leaders carry and how much of their capacity can be taken up by self-doubt, internal pressure and patterns they struggle to explain. Her work helps leaders understand what drives their behaviour, build self-trust and free up the capacity to make clearer decisions, earn trust and develop the people around them.

Angela developed Paseda360 through years of coaching leaders and working with organisations, combining coaching, psychology, neuroscience and approaches that support emotional regulation. She has personally trained the coaches who bring this method into organisations through PasedaLeader.

An Association for Coaching Master Coach and Fellow, Angela holds qualifications in executive coaching from Cambridge and the psychology and neuroscience of mental health from King’s College London. She is also the author of The Silent Middle™, exploring the gap between surviving and thriving and the relationship we have with ourselves.

Our team

The people helping your leaders deliver

No two leadership challenges are the same, which is why PasedaLeader brings together practitioners with different experiences, specialisms and perspectives.

Our team began with people choosing us. Each came to learn our methodology and develop their coaching. Through their training, we recognised them as outstanding coaches and invited them to join PasedaLeader. They bring their own experience and strengths to a shared approach.

This means we can bring the right people together around each engagement, whether the need is individual executive coaching, leadership development, team effectiveness or broader organisational change.
