Join Essential Skills for Leadership Impact

CONSULTANT, COACH AND
PROGRAMME DESIGNER

I work collaboratively with leaders enabling them to be more resourceful and take effective action. As leaders grow in confidence and competence we:

build effective leadership knowledge, skills and practice

develop team relationships
improve wellbeing

Collaborative learning is key for leaders and teams to manage challenging issues and relationships, and create the opportunities and futures they want.

BACKGROUND AND PERSONAL LIFE

I was previously Head of School Improvement for the Department for Education, and held lead roles in national, regional and local government, schools and colleges. I designed and facilitated coaching and leadership programmes for the University of Manchester and served as a Magistrate in Greater Manchester.

A commitment to continuous learning lies at the heart of my work; we all have the potential to grow, learn and re-imagine our future!

Away from work, I'm a performing musician and a keen explorer - with my highest altitude gig being in the Himalayas at 2700m!

RE-BUILDING SCHOOLS NEPAL

In 2015 I co-founded Rebuilding Schools Nepal. Since then we've raised £30,000. Huge thanks to everyone who has supported. Our attentions are now on exploring how we can support health care provision with our partner charity Love Nepal.
