“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?

• You struggle with time management and getting everything done?

Benefits of coaching:

  • Efficient time management

  • Increased confidence and self belief

Coaching is a structured conversation based on trust. Its purpose is to identify strengths and challenges, assumptions and alternative perceptions.

  • “My master’s degree, my PCGE, and my coaching sessions with Kathryn are three critical points in my education that have helped reshape my thinking; that is how significant the sessions were for me. I still review my notes from our sessions and periodically reflect when I have difficult decisions or projects to lead in school.”

She has encouraged me to reflect on myself as a whole which has been key to me understanding and pushing through any areas of leadership which I have found challenging. I could not recommend her enough!”
