Coaching

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their growth” - John Whitmore.

Do you want to feel supported, encouraged, challenged and championed in your leadership? Coaching provides a confidential ear and a trusted partner to help you to fully explore your concerns and conflicts, and to support you in finding alternative perspectives and resolutions and to reach your full potential as a leader.

 

What is Executive Coaching?

Professional support for School Leaders to promote reflective practice for personal and organisational change.

Do you ever feel that:

• You avoid ‘difficult’ conversations?

Benefits of coaching:

  • Efficient time management

  • Increased confidence and self belief

  • Clarity of purpose, vision and values

Coaching is a structured conversation based on trust. Its purpose is to identify strengths and challenges, assumptions and alternative perceptions. By asking reflective questions and leading thought-provoking activities, I can move you towards finding solutions, setting and accomplishing goals, reaching your potential and improving performance at work.
