Empowering school leaders through expert coaching and mentoring

Empowering school leaders through expert coaching and mentoring

My experience as a leader in 3 secondary schools showed me how coaching and mentoring can transform individuals and teams, more than any other learning and development tool.

I'm now working with a host of leaders, schools and trusts as a professional coach, mentor and consultant.

Simon has been instrumental in my professional growth. He has meticulously coached me on all aspects of school improvement, providing me with knowledge, skills, and confidence. His mentorship has been invaluable, offering guidance and support while encouraging me to take on challenging responsibilities.

Simon introduced a programme of coaching for the senior team, a programme which was completely separate to any appraisals or formal school improvement plans. He knew that investing in our progressional development and self awareness would benefit the entire organisation. Over 18 months I engaged with my coach on a regular basis and in that time I became more self aware and more knowledgeable, and in turn I became a more effective leader.

Simon has provided me with a lot of support in the run up and since taking up my first Headship. As part of this he provided me with the opportunity to take place in a mock interview day. During this experience I was provided with the opportunity to participate in trial tasks, a mock deep dive and a mock interview. Throughout the day, Simon provided me with constructive feedback.

Simon is insightful, empowering and astute. I have really enjoyed the balance between coaching and mentoring. I like how they are responsive but they feel that they have direction – this makes me feel that it is a productive use of time within the working day as I they tie in perfectly with priorities that I am working on rather than the coaching sessions feeling like an ‘add on’.
