My work as a Leadership Coach provides executive level coaching support for school leaders. This is a confidential person-centred service focused exclusively on school leaders' personalised professional development and wellbeing. It is therefore complimentary to, but independent of and beyond existing performance management systems and school improvement partnerships which are primarily focused on organizational development and not the Head's personal development.
The benefits of coaching include:
- playing to the leadership strengths of your personality, values and beliefs & avoiding leadership derailers
- increased resilience in the face of challenges and critical incidents
- cognitive tools for creative thinking and innovative ideas
- person-centred consultancy and greater sense of autonomy
- job satisfaction and achieving greater work life balance
- greater motivation, morale and physical/emotional well-being
- taking your career to the next level or to a complete change
- open and honest relationship management - greater awareness of self, staff and pupil needs
- appreciative intelligence and maintaining a positive mindset in a deficit-based cultur
