SCHOOL LEADERS

You’re a senior leader in a school and you want to help the teachers you lead to manage their workload.

You know that when they work at their best your pupils get the best education possible.
You can see the strain they feel when new deadlines come their way.
You want to help them balance bringing the best education with feeling happy and calm at work.

When I started teaching I was an administration nightmare.

I didn’t feel an urgency to meet deadlines and when I felt under pressure I was quick to ignore work and hope it would go away.

It took me quite a while to work out what it was all about and find a calm balance that meant I could meet deadlines.

I’m pretty sure I drove my line managers crazy.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t very happy when I was feeling swamped with work. I always felt guilty if I had work to do (which was always) and I always felt stressed if I was working.

What I needed was someone to help me focus on it, tell me it’s important and also put it in perspective.

When I work with your teachers you know that you are bringing them focused support without adding to yours or another Senior Leader’s workload.

You know that they will be implementing techniques and reviewing their success right from the start.

Your teachers will start to see improvements right from their first session and this will impact their teaching and their emotional well-being at school.

When you work with me you get a bespoke service from the start.

When you fill in the contact form I will email you and we can schedule a call to talk more about how I can help you.
I’ll send you an online questionnaire in order to get a good understanding of your current situation to be completed before our call so that I can be best prepared.
Following completion of our agreement I’ll send you and a questionnaire to help me understand how I can help you more and we will arrange our first call.

Following our call I shall email you with my recommendations and availability so that we can get started as soon as possible.
