Beyond professional development: Tangible leadership transformation.
Nicola
"I just wanted to say if anyone is on the fence about coaching with Sheila, go for it!
I have never experienced coaching before and I wasn't sure what to expect, but Sheila was great at helping me work through a whole variety of things.
There is no feeling of judgement, just a way to help you see your way through anything you might need help with. Definitely recommend!"
Elaine
"Working with Sheila has been a game-changer for my leadership. As a Head of Faculty, it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day fires.
The coaching sessions provided the space I needed to step back, gain strategic clarity, and lead my team with renewed confidence.
I’ve seen a tangible shift in our school culture and my own well-being."
Edwin
"The most significant engagement in coaching hasn't just been my own growth, but the measurable shift in our staff retention rates.
In the high-pressure environment of education, I was struggling to keep our best talent from burning out.
Sheila helped me develop a more empathetic, high-trust leadership style and implement a culture of 'coaching-led' feedback rather than just top-down management.
We aren't just filling roles anymore; we are building a long-term community. If you want to keep your best people, you have to start with how you lead them."
Charles
"Leadership in education is more demanding than ever, and I was on the verge of burnout.
Sheila helped me establish sustainable boundaries while actually increasing my effectiveness. I feel more aligned with my core values and better equipped to navigate the complex challenges of district leadership.
This is the best investment I’ve made in my career."
Sheryle
"I had my first ever coaching session with Sheila. It was kind of like being in therapy where you have an hour to talk about whatever you want to.
All sorts of stuff came up, things I'd not said out loud! It was really interesting and has helped me navigate a hump that's been on my mind for months but it really helped me to get some clarification on what I need to drop/start doing/grow.
It was a safe space to empty my head and I already feel lighter plus I have a focus on what I need to solve. Thank you Sheila!"
Sangita
Sheila helped me to realise that staff retention isn't about grand gestures; it’s about the quality of the daily leadership experience. We worked on building a culture of psychological safety and professional agency.
As a result, our veteran teachers feel seen and valued again, and our early-career teachers are choosing to stay because they see a clear path for growth.
Coaching didn't just help me lead better—it helped me build a school where people actually want to work."
