About Shane


As an Organisational Coach for schools around the world, I help leaders drive meaningful change from the inside out. Through tailored coaching and strategic workshops, I help schools transform not just leadership skills but their entire organisations. My approach is evidence-based and personalised, designed to tackle your unique challenges and opportunities. Whether it's through The Education Leaders Academy, the chart-topping Education Leaders Podcast, the best selling book, Change Starts Here or one-on-one coaching, I give you the tools and community you need to make a sustainable impact in international education.

I live, work, and podcast in Shanghai, China. I’m always up for collaborating with other like-minded leaders, so if you have ideas, suggestions or ways we can work together, get in touch.

Here’s a few schools and organisations I’ve supported.
