Focused. Realistic. Practical. Remi is results-focused and caring at the same time. She brings a lot of experience and insights that will help answer many questions. She has an amazing ability to make you feel super-comfortable to talk to her about anything, and at the same time, you will not even realise you’re being challenged. Remi’s energy and ability to listen will help any coachee go away with a deeper understanding of their work and life. I look forward to continuing working with Remi into the future as I’ve found her coaching to be extremely beneficial.
Hussain Shefaar, Headteacher
Remi has been known to me since 2017 when she was assigned to me as my NPQH coach. The coaching I received was rewarding and I completed my NPQH with no areas for development. However Remi remained an integral part of my professional development. Her high challenge, low threat approach to coaching is one that has caused me to adopt a similar style of leadership because this approach has had a significant impact on my leadership. Through Remi’s coaching I have developed to think strategically even when confronted with challenging situations. Having a coach that uses a variety of tools to unlock your potential and enhance your ability to be impactful and bring about clarity of purpose in my life is an indescribable experience. Remi also takes a trauma informed approach to coaching and is always on hand to supply valuable wisdom unique to your goals and purpose. There is no doubt that if you say YES to Remi coaching you, your experience will be a transformational one.
Carlene Rowe, Deputy Head
I had four coaching sessions with Remi this year. The sessions were very open for me to talk about what I needed – even if I wasn’t quite sure what I needed before the sessions! Remi was excellent at steering me through some challenging issues. Furthermore, she is very good at getting you to see things through different lenses. I was very much listened to; it always felt like a safe space to share,be honest and problem-solve. I would recommend Remi to other senior leaders requiring coaching.

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.
Lena Carter, Co-Headteacher, Scotland
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.
Amy Jeetley, Teaching & Learning Lead: Science
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.

These sessions brought out so many areas that I needed to work on in order to kickstart my journey of self-actualization.

Enya Doyle Consulting (EDC)
Dr Enya Doyle’s unwavering commitment to driving social change has been recognised across the British Isles for almost fifteen years. It started with using music to campaign for peace and further reconciliation in Northern Ireland. Enya was the first Northern Irish Recipient of the Diana Award (Courageous Citizen) Prize and was awarded the National Young Peacemakers Prize and Beacon of Hope Scholarship for innovative work with young people. She has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts for nearly ten years.
Enya is proud to passionately prioritise undervalued and marginalised voices and specialises in challenging gender-based discrimination, sexism, and sexual misconduct. Intersectionality sits at the heart of her work. In 2020, Enya completed her PhD which explores and interrogates four key barriers to gender equity in contemporary music-making. She has presented her research across the world including in the UK, North America and in Australia and was awarded a variety of research prizes and an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.
Raised in Ireland and now based in London, Enya has been delivering training workshops broadly on inclusion, anti-harassment, and allyship, as well as specifically on gender, sex and sexuality, across the world for seven years. In addition to consulting, Enya was Director of Inclusion and a Designated Safeguarding Lead in a large school for a few years. In that role, she had the enormous privilege of leading the school’s response to better understanding the experiences of children and young people who had experienced sexual violence during their time at school as made public through Everyone’s Invited. This involved devoting hundreds of worthwhile hours engaging with their testimonies, online and in person, and creating and embedding change for current and future generations. Enya also built phenomenal relationships with parents and carers of the pupils at the school, creating inclusion networks and began to embed a sense of belonging for marginalised families who existed in the minority. She is particularly proud of the work she did to amplify the perspectives of parents and carers of children with African and Caribbean heritage.
Creating an inclusive company and a culture of belonging is an ongoing process that requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and improvement. You deserve to work with someone who brings that same commitment to the relationship. Working together with me can offer many benefits and advantages for individuals and organisation as a whole.
