Mal became my coach just over six months ago and her impact on me as a person and a professional has been transformational. I have always been a reflective practitioner but at times my reflection has been unfocused, with a tendency to overthink and worry. Mal’s strengths included her ability to listen intently and to focus on and feed back to me the key issues in amongst the many things I talked about. She was willing to share herself and her experience to help me explore options and alternatives to my current ways of thinking and behaving. Most important to me was the way she validated my moral standpoint and supported me to continue to be true to my vision at times of professional pressure. Mal is caring, helpfully challenging and very, very wise. I hope to continue my shared learning journey with Mal into the future and highly recommend her as a coach.

I found Mal compassionate, understanding and very reflective, ensuring that at the end of the session everything was summarised so I was clear on which way I was heading and what I needed to do. I was due to start a new school Sept… Mal helped me unpick some of the mistakes I made previously, and coached me on how to approach my colleagues. I’m pleased to say the change in style has made the transition in school a lot more easier than in previous schools. I would recommend Mal as a coach.

The Assertive Leadership coaching with Mal was one of the most impactful CLPL activities I have undertaken in my career. It allowed me to reflect on my own leadership on a personal level whilst coaching me to develop strategies to improve my skills and self-awareness. It gave me vital time and space to consider and discuss the impact of my leadership approaches in work and life. I have absolutely no doubt that it played a vital role in helping me to secure my first permanent Senior Leadership role – I even mentioned it during my interviews! Mal is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very down to earth. Her experience in real school settings allows her to contextualise the theory she explores with you and there is a real sense of empathy in her delivery. I thoroughly recommend the course. I would recommend Mal as a coach.
