Dr Bernadette Miles

Experience, background and philosophy

After two decades in computer consulting and business management, Bernadette transitioned into theology and leadership coaching. Trained through the Arrupe Program at Siloam, she now helps emerging leaders develop the self-awareness and reflective habits that drive healthy organisations. Over the past twenty years, she has mentored directors, provided professional supervision, designed development workshops, and led retreats.

In 2018, Bernadette completed a PhD exploring how one-on-one guidance and reflective practices can strengthen leadership effectiveness and boost organisational performance. She continues this research as a postgraduate scholar at the University of Divinity and a PhD Supervisor at NIODA.

Her book, Strengthening Spirit – Releasing Potential: Spiritual Direction for Leadership and Organisational Development, is now available, offering a practical framework for aligning personal growth with organisational goals.
