Leadership Coaching

"Lynne is an inspirational and motivational leader. As a head teacher she always made the wellbeing of all staff and children an absolute priority, going above and beyond to support and listen to others. She strikes the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge and has an amazing talent to recognise others' strengths while building their self-confidence. She has helped me to develop my skills as a teacher and leader greatly and always guided and coached me through my career progression with knowledge and insight." Rebecca P (Year 5 and 6 Lead)

“Lynne was the most inspirational leader I have ever worked with. She had an amazing vision and drive for the school which was infectious and made us all aspire to be the best we could be for the children and their families. Lynne also brought courage, authenticity and a wonderful warmth into all her encounters with staff, children and other stakeholders. She really is a shining star!” Marta T (Safeguarding and School Home Support Lead)

“I definitely feel more relaxed about my career prospects and more comfortable with the direction in life that I will be taking in the near future. Lynne has given me a much-needed boost to my self-confidence and made me feel like a successful person, who stands every chance of achieving his goals. This is not something that I felt before the sessions.” Michael J (Middle Leader)

Well, how do I start … Lynne has changed my life … that probably sounds over dramatic but it’s true. I was the greatest procrastinator when it came to focussing on myself and my future plans, definitely a ‘bury my head in the sand’ type for any hard decisions that involved me.………. Lynne’s firm but fair manner appealed to me from the start. A superb listener who gleaned information gently and then handed it back to me so that the control was all mine. Helping me to bat away the voice on my shoulder and disregard the ‘buts,’ she enabled me to look at problems in a fresh way and gradually gain confidence and, most importantly, the belief that I had a lot to offer the world. Josephine D (Art Lead)

Lynne believes that leadership is not about the leader, it's about the people that you lead.  Her approach is one of kindness, fairness and enthusiasm to inspire people to achieve their full potential. She is a highly skilled motivator and organiser, who lays the foundations on which members of her team can build and develop their individual talents. She is a truly inspirational leader. Arlene S (Wellbeing and Fundraising Lead)

“I found it extremely helpful to look back at my career and personal life and to see how I have arrived at the point I am at now. Coaching has helped me to think about my motivations and how this shapes decisions that I make for myself, the colleagues that I work with and the school.” Jackie D (Deputy Head)

“Lynne’s skills lie in her ability to build rapport, create open and transparent dialogue and get to the heart of the matter quickly and sensitively. Through active listening, skilled questioning and challenging thinking, she is able to support clients to build awareness, develop new insights and to achieve profound and sustainable change. She is both supportive and challenging.” Jane C (Coaching Supervisor)

“Lynne has been absolutely AMAZING! I have felt supported, valued, listened to and respected which has made the whole process so much easier. Lynne has helped to equip me with the tools to go from someone who was very guarded and at times, quite negative to someone who is now more open, positive and confident in the work that I do and the person that I am. I am beyond thankful and would do it all again with her if I could. Thank you, Lynne!” Nyrissa B. (EYFS Lead)
