Prefer to start with a conversation?
You don’t have to decide anything yet. A free, 30-minute Reset Call with Maria is a no-obligation way to talk through what you’re carrying and see whether this is the right fit, for yourself, or for leaders across your trust.
For many school leaders, protected time to think isn’t something they’ve had in a long time. Sometimes that conversation alone makes a difference.
If it would help to bring your Chair of Governors on board, you can download a short letter explaining the benefits of coaching.
