COACHING IN EDUCATION
‘If you don’t design your future, someone, or something else will design it for you.’
Edward de bono
As a teacher, leader, and adviser, I coached.
My genuine interest in other professional’s hopes and dreams ensured I collaborated with them to facilitate their success. Relationship driven practice has been key to my continued influence and interest.
Understanding when people are ready to make the transformations they desire and how to raise awareness with them excites me.
I engage with organisations and individuals who desire change, are seeking personal and professional purpose and the freedom to choose. Coaching conversations enable clients to become players, agents of their own transformation, turning burnout, overwhelm, frustration and fatigue into potential.
This new paradigm requires courage, collaboration and empowered people living the best version of themselves.
Imagine what could happen if we combined your energy and mine.
If you are looking for a new way of working that promotes lasting impressions, is sensitive to the environment and demonstrates deep care for the profession, then read on.
