Coaching, Mentoring

& Growth Programmes

I am passionate about developing people and very aware that nurturing a positive culture in organisations leads to amazing short and long-term results.  I work closely with The Pacific Institute and the BluePrint Toolset to help you 'think differently and become extraordinary' (see separate page).

As mentor and coach, I guide you so you become more self aware, assessing your starting points and look at all options. Together I help you to reflect, grow and achieve your personal and professional goals, including upskilling and returning to work.

Find out more about our "Growth Programme", tailored sessions to delve into the current situation, review and explore options, get motivated to start, support to implement your plans successfully.  Through ongoing growth conversations, you stay focused so you are clear about how to achieve the results you want.

The coaching sessions are based on the Pacific Institute and GROW models, leading to individuals and leaders moving towards their agreed goals,  deciding on how to overcome challenges and feeling more resilient to changes. Where mentoring is the solution, tailored one to one sessions guide and support  you in their role. 

As motivational speaker for businesses, I tailor the content of the presentation to the current company challenges to ensure full  impact on staff and managers alike. I deliver team-building training for new or experienced teams to re-focus the energies on "making things happen together".

Keen to also have networking time with peers to ensure our good conversations support ongoing understanding of the Further Education and Skills sector. I'll bring current ideas to the table to keep you current and up to date.

Good governance

Through high standards of governance, you can be assured that your learners, apprentices, employers and stakeholders receive the best service.  Governors contribute to the success of your business and ensure good value for money, especially in government-funded training.

I set up quality governance boards, with clear terms of reference, to implement and embed key expectations and values which promote high expectations and ambitions for learners, apprentices and staff and provide strong strategic leadership and challenge to the senior team. 

My focus as a governor in education is on strong leadership, Teaching and Learning,  impact on learners, EDI and Safeguarding. I ensure leaders demonstrate accountability to stakeholders through detailed analysis of accurate information on performance.

To review and test the effectiveness of your governance arrangements, I complete of thematic reviews or deep dives.

Currently Chair of the Society for Education and Training and Observer on the Education and Training Foundation Board. Contact me if you think I could help strengthen your board and  governance meetings.

Professional Development

Focused Professional Development is key for all organisations who strive to excel in their field. Successful professional development equips managers and staff with relevant and up to date knowledge, skills and competence in line with current standards of practice.


I assess training needs against current requirements, linked to TLA observations, industry and company needs and a fast-changing general educational and training context. I then develop a training programme that will impact positively on staff and learners.


Innovative and inspirational training sessions ensure that all staff are engaged and leave feeling confident to deliver a professional service to learners, employers and stakeholders.


The impact of CPD on staff, learners and the organisation is assessed through focused surveys and rigorous analysis of outcomes against Key Performance Indicators.


Tailored Leadership and Management development involving key staff lead to thoughtful interaction with peers and go a long way towards helping leaders and organisations grow, transform and resolve challenges.
