"I wouldn't still be in this job without this."

Those words came from a talented middle leader last week, reflecting on the impact of coaching support.

Leadership in schools and trusts is complex. The pressure to perform, lead others, support pupils, meet accountability demands—and still stay grounded in your own values—is immense. Coaching provides the reflective space leaders so often lack. It enables clarity, builds emotional resilience, and helps leaders reconnect with their purpose.

It’s not about fixing people. It’s about supporting them to think, feel and lead more effectively.

In a sector where retention is a growing concern, coaching isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the solution.

🤔 If you’ve experienced the power of coaching, what’s been its biggest impact for you?
