For schools, colleges and systems
Change the conversation, and you change what happens around it.
Since 2002, we have worked alongside educators across six continents, in government, independent and Catholic schools, early learning and tertiary settings. The way colleagues talk with one another shapes the learning and progress that follows. We have the capacity and experience to work with one educator or one faculty right through to a whole system.

Questions educators ask us
What does it cost?
Public courses are priced per person and in-house programs are quoted for the group. We will always be clear about costs upfront so you can plan ahead.
Do I need to be in a formal coaching role?
No, and most participants are not. Teachers, middle leaders, assistant principals, principals, directors or system leaders make up the majority of every cohort. The skills are for anyone whose job involves helping another adult think, learn or improve.
Can you run this for our whole staff?
Yes. Most programs run either as public courses you join individually or as a small group, or on site for a school, kinder, college or network. We tailor our delivery to your context rather than working from a script.
How much time does it take?
It depends, but workshops typically run over one or two days. Based on your people and setting, we can deliver courses spaced apart or in modules of 2-3 hours. We can adapt to what works best for you. For individual and team coaching packages, these are usually provided in blocks of 1 to 2 hours. Our popular Coaching Accreditation Program runs over 20 weeks, fully online, with a global cohort and supervision throughout.
We tried coaching before and it faded. Why would this be different?
High quality professional learning makes learning real, relevant and useable. Often, skills or learning fade away if there aren't supports, clear connections to priorities, or people aren't on board. That's why every time we work with people and organisations we design learning that is interactive, practical and relevant to you. We spend time understanding what you need, what supports you have, and what a pathway looks like to set you and your people up for success, during and after the learning.
Not sure where your school should start?
Tell us what you are trying to change and we will tell you honestly whether coaching would help, and which part.
