Coaching and Mentoring

For new and experienced leaders in British international schools

How can coaching help me?

We know that there are a number of core capabilities that can make all the difference to your effectiveness as a leader: being able to engage your team, give feedback, develop their capability, and feel confident in your approach to leadership.

In response ESP are delighted to offer a suite of coaching programmes designed specifically to develop your soft leadership skills, whether you are a new or established Principal, a Deputy, Assistant Principal or Middle Leader.

 

How does it work?

This is learning at its most personal and relevant. You will be matched with a top quality professional coach who is passionate about supporting you to make the changes you want.

You can expect them to quickly understand your context and to be someone you can talk to openly about sensitive and difficult issues. With experience of working worldwide our team are perfectly placed to support leaders across British international schools.

Each coaching programme is full of insights, strategies and exercises, drawing on the latest leadership research. Pre-work ahead of each coaching session will help you to apply these insights and tools in your school context.

You and your coach will then be able to build on your reflections to get the most from your coaching sessions.

 

Does it provide flexibility?

Most school leaders we work with are restricted on the time they can commit to their own development. They want professional development that is targeted to their needs and accessible when they need it. They don’t want the disruption and expense of leaving their school to attend a training day.

Our remote coaching packages offer international school leaders an alternative on-the-job learning experience, where they can schedule coaching sessions at times to suit them and apply their learning immediately on the job.

 

All of our coaching programmes offer flexible learning at times to suit you.

Whilst you are given a full year to complete your coaching programme, we recommend that coaching sessions are booked every 3-4 weeks.

This allows sufficient time to apply learning in between sessions whilst maintaining momentum.
