Executive and Leadership Coach and Mentor

As a StrengthscopeMaster™, I guide senior leaders and ambitious future leaders to embrace their unique strengths so that they can lead high-performing teams and drive transformational change with purpose and authenticity.

StrengthscopeMaster™ Coach

I serve as a School Improvement Partner to five schools across the UAE and Asia. I’m a Lead Inspector for British Schools Overseas and an International Schools Quality Mark Assessor.

International Education Advisor and Specialist

As an independent researcher, I delve into the complexities of leadership, focusing on strength-based leadership and the power of hope in leadership conversations. My research aims to uncover the strategies that empower senior leaders of today and future leaders of tomorrow to break through limitations and drive transformational change within their organisations.

Key research areas include:
▫️ Strength-based leadership: Exploring how leaders can harness their unique strengths to inspire teams, foster resilience, and achieve sustainable success.
▫️ The role of hope in leadership conversations: Investigating the impact of hope as a driving force in leadership, enabling leaders to navigate uncertainty and inspire action.

My commitment to this research is rooted in my belief that effective leadership is transformational, and understanding these key areas can help senior leaders of today and future leaders of tomorrow unlock their full potential.

Deputy Headteacher

Department for Education

I enabled others by working on a Making Good Progress pilot for English and Maths in South Tyneside, with oversight of 35 primary and secondary schools. This led to a successful RAG by DCSF, the successful recruitment of 30 tutors for 1-to-1 tuition in English and Maths, and a learning Platform for Pilot Leaders to share good practice. It also enabled me to develop collaborative work with Primary SIPs and North-East SIPs Managers. I engaged with all the Headteachers concerned, discussing assessment and tracking progress in reading, writing and maths, and worked with them to implement APP (standardised judgements by providing criteria), and transition processes between feeder schools and secondary schools.

Seconded to lead on Making Good Progress (KS2/KS3: English and Maths) pilot

Jarrow School

I inspired a shared vision: I wrote the school development plan at Jarrow School, underpinned by the ECM agenda and as part of the new FMSIS. The three-year costs were praised by the Audit team, and the OFSTED team commented in March 2007 that ‘the school development plan establishes an uncompromising agenda for improvement’. Results improved from 39% 5A*-C in 2006 to 53% in August 2007.

Cramlington Learning Village

I am passionate about creativity and innovation. My experience on the ICT Steering group in Northumberland to design a county wide VLE enabled me to influence the design of the first VLE at  Cramlington Learning Village by making best use of the learning platform, by developing online assessment with personalised feedback, online collaboration with other local, national and international schools, and engaging parents.

Assistant Headteacher

West Denton High School

Teacher of French, German, Spanish

Strengths-based leadership Coach | International Education Advisor | Workplace Mediator | Leadership Capabilities & Performance | Bilingual (French & English), curious about words, memory and perception

I believe leadership starts with clarity, not noise.

Over the years, I’ve worked with senior leaders facing complex decisions, high-stakes conversations, and moments that test who they are.

Often, they don’t need more advice.

They need space.
▫️ To think.
▫️ To speak honestly.
▫️ To reconnect with what truly matters.
That’s the space I offer.

My role is simple.

▫️ No formulas.
▫️ No performance.
▫️ Just meaningful conversations that change how you lead.

Growth doesn’t happen in the rush.
It happens in the pause.

If that speaks to you, let’s talk.
