Scott Barker BA, PGCE, CPCC, ACC

As a retired elementary school principal, I successfully created safe learning environments where both my students and staff were able to learn, dream and become the best version of themselves.  Now, I draw on my 30 years of educational leadership experience to link my coaching skills to work with individuals who are ready for their next chapter. Folks who seek my coaching are those who may be looking for change in their work/personal life, who are ready to transition into retirement, or who are simply aware that it's time for something new, and are wanting support as they launch into what's next.  I am ‘Your Next Chapter Coach.’

EXPERIENCE:

I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Western University (1992), and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Durham University (1994).  In addition, I am a graduate of the Co-Active Training Institute in California, having achieved my CPCC in 2026, and I achieved my ACC, from the International Coaching Federation, in 2026.

Empowering You to Live Your Next Chapter, Now

My coaching style is rooted in the creation of a safe, warmly encouraging space - a place where the noise of the world drops away so your most honest truths can finally be heard.

Driven by a genuine, soulful curiosity, I don’t just listen to your words; I listen for the truth you’re not yet feeling courageous enough to name out loud. Through thoughtful, provocative inquires, we will wander into those unexplored corners of your perspective, uncovering profound insights that often hide just out of reach. While I offer steady guidance and partnership, I will never hand you the answers. Instead, I will be the one who stays with you as you navigate your own internal landscape, and become empowered to think differently and trust the wisdom you already carry. Together, we will create a partnership in which you can reflect deeply and make bold moves as a result.

In short, I will help you discover not just what you want to do, but who you are becoming. I am your Next Chapter Coach.
