About
The future is negotiable. Systems can be redesigned. Relationships can shift. New opportunities can emerge. But the challenge isn't knowing what's possible—it's actually doing something about it when the stakes are high and the path isn't clear. That's what FIELD is for.
“Most of what feels fixed is actually negotiable.”
Meet Mia
I'm Mia Kos, and I work with people who know something needs to shift. Some of my clients come with clear goals—they want a promotion, they're breaking into a new field, they're growing a business. Others come knowing something needs to change, but they're not yet sure what. Some need clarity. Others need help with accountability and strategy. What they have in common: they're ready to do something about it.
Over 15 years, I've worked with 50+ multidisciplinary teams across the UK, US, and EU—in government departments, high-security prisons, and healthcare—evaluating and designing systems and services. I've also delivered 250+ workshops for teams navigating change.
Why coaching?
Facilitating Liberating Structures workshop at the Government Digital Service (GDS), London
Strategy and systems matter. But I kept seeing them fail—not because they were wrong, but because the human side was ignored.
I've seen brilliant leaders stuck—drowning in priorities, second-guessing every decision. I've watched great strategies stay great only on paper. I've watched talanted people accept someone else's definition of what they can do and can't do.
Coaching lets me focus on what actually moves people forward: building the clarity to see what matters, the confidence to act on hard choices, and the resilience to keep going when the path isn't clear.
Training
My coaching draws on Gestalt and Solution-Focused approaches, grounded in organisational development training at Gestalt Centre London. I maintain active supervision and continue developing my practice through ongoing training.
Beyond formal training, I've practiced Buddhist meditation for 20 years and facilitated meditation groups and retreats.
