Thank you for expressing an interest in taking your leadership skills to the next level and make a lasting impact on the education system. For over two decades my own leadership journey has taken me from teaching assistant to CEO and over this time I have had the privilege of coaching and mentoring many leaders. Working together we can design an offer to empower you to lead with integrity and values. Imagine having the tools and knowledge to create a positive, inclusive school culture that inspires and motivates your team. Imagine being able to navigate the complexities of the modern education system with ease and confidence. With coaching support, all of this is possible.

I have coached many leaders throughout my career including supporting many senior leaders to secure their Headships. This coaching has been within the organisations I have served and for wider national networks such as Challenge Partners, Greater London Authority, Ambition School Leadership and more recently my own coaching organisation Holistic Leadership. My coaching philosophy centres on people-focussed coaching supporting the individual to reflect on past narratives and stories and releasing beliefs that aren’t useful. The focus of coaching has included:

I began my journey in education as a teaching assistant and over the next seven years working in various leadership roles until securing my first Headship in 2012. Since then I have taken on Executive Leadership roles in and across Trusts and become a Trust CEO in January 2021. Throughout it all I have endeavoured to model values-based leadership, raise communities and empower others in leadership and life.

EMCC

Embarking on my coaching journey in 2012, I transitioned from a rich background in education spanning over three decades. Throughout my career, I’ve honed my leadership style, people management skills, and business acumen in diverse and often challenging contexts.

This extensive experience grants me a deep understanding of the hurdles professionals face and equips me with the expertise to guide them successfully. I bring this nuanced understanding to coaching conversations, enriching my clients’ experiences and outcomes.

Believing in the importance of qualifications and continuous growth, I pursued credentials as an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Professional Certified Coach (PCC), underscoring my commitment to excellence. Regular supervision further ensures the quality and efficacy of my coaching practice, providing clients with added confidence and assurance.

Approaching coaching with an optimistic mindset, I firmly believe in the power of choice and possibility. My purpose as a coach is to empower individuals to unearth their opportunities and take decisive action to thrive, rather than merely cope.

As an accredited executive business coach, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with schools, Trusts, the NHS, and private sector entities to design and deliver bespoke leadership programs. These programs are meticulously crafted to foster well-being, resilience, and transformative growth among participants.

In my current capacity as an associate to Blend Ltd, I lead group coaching sessions within the NHS Deanery program, guiding professionals to unlock their potential and navigate complex challenges with clarity and confidence. Additionally, I provide individual coaching to executive headteachers enrolled in the NPQEL program, empowering them to lead with vision and impact.

Throughout my career spanning over two decades in education, I’ve held leadership roles in three schools as a headteacher. My tenure culminated in the publication of “Creating Change in Urban Settings,” a testament to my strategic leadership and unwavering commitment to driving positive change in challenging environments.

Beyond my direct school leadership roles, I serve as a Strategic Director for the Curriculum Foundation, where I contribute to global education initiatives. Notably, my involvement in curriculum development projects in South Sudan since 2015 underscores my dedication to advancing education and empowering communities worldwide.

Currently, as School Improvement Director for a Multi-Academy Trust, I leverage my coaching expertise to spearhead strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing educational outcomes and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Through collaborative leadership and a focus on individual empowerment, I strive to drive positive change and create lasting impact across the Trust.
