​

I’m Barry McCormack, founder of Solution Coach, and I help individuals, teams, and organisations unlock meaningful and sustainable transformation. My work is grounded in over 30 years of leadership and people development experience across the Irish Naval Service, the UN, public service, and multinational sectors.

​

What drives me is a deep belief in human potential and the possibility of a more sustainable, regenerative future. My coaching and facilitation are rooted in psychological depth, emotional resilience, and systems thinking. I integrate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and a regenerative lens to support clients in creating change that lasts—from the inside out.

​

I hold an MSc in Personal and Management Coaching, I’m a Senior Practitioner accredited with EMCC, and I’ve completed a year-long journey in Regenerative Leadership and Change with Regenerators.co. These foundations inform my work—whether I’m supporting a senior leader navigating complexity, a team building connection and trust, or an organisation reimagining its culture and purpose.

Solution Coach is how I bring together decades of experience, inner development, and a commitment to sustainability. I create the conditions for reflection, courage, and growth—supporting others to lead more consciously, live more fully, and contribute to thriving systems.

My Values: 

​

My preferred imagined coaching vision involves me dedicated to helping aid a world where purpose, people, planet and profit collectively thrive. Assisting others to move away from the take, make, dispose of natural and human resources and instead make room a conscious connection with ourselves and the nature, through coaching

​

In 2019 lead he an expedition to climb Mont Blanc in the French Alps. This successful event raised over €40K  for Cork Simon, a local homeless charity. The event was instrumental in changing the lives of the expedition member, some of whom had no climbing experience. The benefits of physical activities are at the core of Barry's philosophy.

​

A lesson from the Mont Blanc expedition for Barry was learning was that opportunities can be forged, even in the corporate realm. “I realized the power of teamwork, endurance, and resilience in fostering a sense of purpose and belonging. Our expedition not only transformed lives but also sparked a newfound vitality within our company, all while making a meaningful impact for charity."

​

Barry's true passion lies in reconnecting people with nature. Through Regenerative Coaching and his wild camping adventures across the rugged landscapes of the Beara and Sheepshead Peninsulas, he inspires others to find solace and strength in the great outdoors.

 

Barry is more than an adventurer; he's a catalyst leading others to discover their own path to adventure and fulfilment.
