How I've been spending my time...

Updated: Nov 10, 2024


Goodness, it’s been a busy few weeks!  In the last couple of weeks I’ve been doing the following:

 

👩‍🏫 Coaching: I’ve had the pleasure of coaching a number of private clients and a number of senior leaders working towards their NPQEL with Ambition Institute.

 

👩‍⚖️ Inspection: I have inspected a delightful The Church of England primary school under the statutory SIAMS framework, plus carried out all the preparation work and written and published the report.

 

👩‍⚕️ Consultancy: I’ve spent a day in a lovely small school in Somerset helping them with their self-evaluation and action planning for school improvement.

 

😊 Training: I’ve attended a couple of fantastic events organised by EMCC UK. Firstly, I attended a brilliant workshop, ‘Grow your own business’ led by the amazing Charlotte Housden (Sheridan). Secondly, I attended ‘An Introduction NLP: The Disney Strategy’ led by the inspirational Clare Smale. This provided me with a fabulous new tool which I was able to put into practise the following day with a client. It proved to be very effective, and has helped a client to move forward from feeling stuck with a problem for a while now.

 

Oh, and I’ve also fitted in going to see Taylor Swift (turns out I'm a secret Swiftie 😂 ), a weekend with dear friends and family, and a house and pet-sit near Marlow-on-Thames. The photograph shows me with my oldest friend Gill (whom I have known since I was eight) who I caught up with whilst we were there.

 

🙏 I feel so lucky to be in the position to be able to have this variety in my life. It took a huge amount of courage to take the leap from almost 30 years of continuous full-time employment into running my own business, but the last few weeks have completely confirmed that I have done the right thing. I have managed to regain a better balance between work and my life and have thoroughly enjoyed both.

 

If you are looking for advice or support from a down-to-earth, experienced leader, coach and consultant, I may be the right person for you. Please get in touch!
