Beth Neustadt

Programme Director

Dr Beth Neustadt’s early career, in the US, was in mental health service delivery and programme evaluation and then organisational consulting. This led to work with a British firm undergoing transformation from government agency into a FTSE 100-listed corporation and precipitated her relocation to the UK. She later established her own London-based consulting business, Neustatus Consulting, Ltd.

For over 25 years, Beth has delivered organisational consulting, including role consultations, through her firm and in association with other established consulting firms, including Tavistock Consulting, where she also earned executive coaching certification and subsequently became a visiting lecturer for the Trust’s professional doctorate in Advanced practice and research: consultation and the organisation (D10D).

In 2012, Beth returned to the Boston area to take up the role of director of executive education custom programs at Harvard Business School. Working with HBS faculty and executive education delivery teams, and with clients’ senior executives and L&D teams, she managed an international portfolio of client relationships, engaging in business development, programme design, delivery and evaluation.

In 2019, Beth returned to self-employment, working through both her London firm and its US counterpart, Neustatus Consulting, LLC. In July 2023 she again relocated to London to assume responsibility for the Tavistock Consulting Executive Coaching Programme; employed part-time by the Trust, she currently leads and serves on the faculty of this programme.

Beth’s executive coaching portfolio includes established executives and future leaders, employed in a mix of proprietary businesses and non-profit organisations, based in the UK and the US. She has recently developed a workshop, delivered both in person and online, that focuses on application of Attachment Theory to coaching.

Beth earned a BA in Theatre Arts from Cornell University, an MBA and an ABD in Social Psychology (Organization Development concentration) from Boston University, and a PhD in Psychology from University College, London. She is accredited as an executive coach with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) at Senior Practitioner level and holds EMCC Global Individual Supervision accreditation.
