Doha, Qatar

Founder, BECKETT MCINROY Consultancy; creator of the CoachME model and TAP360

Founder of BECKETT MCINROY Consultancy and originator of the CoachME coaching model and the TAP360 team profiling tool.

EdD, University of Bath.

Why this placement

MCC and ACTC corroborated on ICF's own person page, plus a doctorate from a serious university — an unusual combination in this field, where research training and coaching credentials rarely sit together. Her CoachME model and TAP360 instrument are published tools other practitioners use rather than proprietary language wrapped around standard practice.

CoachME was named ICF Distinguished Coaching Education Provider in 2023, confirmed verbatim on ICF's own past-winners page. She was also the nominating coach behind the Qatar Financial Centre's 2020 ICF Middle East Prism Award, documented in ICF's own published case study. Co-founding two national ICF chapters is infrastructure work that outlasts any individual practice.
