Juliet Kilpin

I have more than 30 years’ experience of coaching and developing leaders in local neighbourhoods in the UK, in broad-based alliances of civil society and in refugee camps.

I am a trainer and helped develop and deliver the award-winning Democracy in Action module for the University of Essex, equipping young adults with the skills to build power and make change in a democratic society.

An Intercultural Coach registered with the Association For Coaching, I celebrate unity in diversity and use systemic coaching to help teams strengthen their understanding of differences and commonalities which improves their impact.

I have spent time as a peacemaker and active bystander in refugee camps and currently serve the European Baptist Federation as chair of their Commission on Migration. EBF is a federation of leaders from 48 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia and I relish the opportunities to build common connections across vastly different cultures.

I am a creative entrepreneur and most recently enjoyed relaunching The Fishermen’s Chapel, assisting it’s remnant group of leaders to step out in courage and turn the building into a highly-regarded and loved music and arts venue, breathing new life into the community and the congregation.

Testimonials

“In the very first days of my evacuation from Afghanistan to the UK, while I was leading a community of Afghan evacuees, I met Juliet. Her rich experience working with diverse groups in different countries gave her a deep understanding of the challenges we faced. Her empathetic approach and life-changing advice not only helped me personally, but also supported our entire community as we tried to find our place in an unfamiliar society.”

Ershad Honaryar, author and formerly senior journalist and team manager, BBC Persia

“Juliet brings a calm, grounding influence that helps people make sense of complex contexts, discern what is truly theirs to do, and act in alignment with their values and integrity. I recommend her wholeheartedly as a coach”.

Iona Lawrence, co-founder of the Jo Cox Foundation and co-founder of The Decelerator

“Juliet was a creative and thoughtful coach. I particularly enjoyed our coaching walks. I returned to work after a sabbatical with clarity on how to work out my various responsibilities and a clearer sense of the conversations I needed to have with my employers so I could work to my strengths”.
