Unlock your leadership potential with tailored coaching

Your Journey to Transformation Starts Here

Navigating the complexities of international school leadership is no small feat. Whether you're grappling with strategic challenges, relationship dynamics, or learning-focused issues, the right coaching can make all the difference. That's where I come in. My coaching services are designed to meet you where you are, offering tailored, evidence-based strategies that resonate with your unique context.

The GROW Coaching Framework

I employ the GROW coaching framework, a structured yet flexible approach developed by Sir John Whitmore and colleagues. Here's how it might look in practice:

• Goal: We start by setting clear, achievable objectives for your leadership journey.

• Reality: We assess your current situation, identifying both strengths and areas for improvement.

• Options: We explore various strategies and approaches that could help you reach your goals.

• Will: We decide on the actions you'll take, ensuring they align with your broader objectives.
