“My key reflection is that I’m surprised at the extent of the impact that the coaching session has had on me overall. I have been very conscious that I felt that I had lost my way a little and my get up and go had got up and gone over the past few weeks. The session has not only helped me to clarify and then address the areas I discussed but has had a much wider impact. The word “transformational” is the one that pops in to my head.”

“The session began with very clear guidelines that included confidentiality, respect etc. This enabled me to be open and honest during the session. The most useful part of the session, what I believe will last with me as a leader, was the coach moving me away from ‘deficit model’ thinking. This has allowed me to see myself and my ability to manage professional growth and challenge in a more positive and, I believe, effective way.”
Head of school.
“Coaching has really helped me develop and grow to deal with challenges along the way – both personal and professional. It has made a huge difference to me, to my way of thinking, to the development of me as a leader and been really supportive at a very difficult time.”

“Having a coaching session with Ian was fantastic! He was really thoughtful, listened attentively and made sure that I was able to work through the problems that I brought to the session. I definitely would have another coaching session with Ian again. Thank you.”
