I recently had a coaching session with Debbie and despite my initial reservations I found the whole process really useful and beneficial. I warmed to Debbie straight away because she was open and accepting of my situation. She changed my negative attitude within that one session, because she was clear about the process. It was just like chatting to a friend! Debbie got who I am, and what I could do. She’s not only helped me, she’s helped my whole team … the coaching has had a much wider impact. I’d highly recommend Debbie as a coach for staff development / team building.
Lisa Wilson, EYFS Team Leader, Nottingham
Your questioning techniques are brilliant! You helped me focus on my target more positively. You have a really lovely way, and you’re not judgemental. I found our recent session very helpful and supportive.
S Beckett, Head Teacher, Christ Church CE Primary
It’s so comforting to know I have someone to talk to from outside school who is non-judgemental, supportive and who ‘has been there’ themselves.
Jayne, Head Teacher, East Midlands
I didn’t know what to expect from the one-to-ones with Debbie, but was surprised at how much I achieved from just a few sessions. It was also an ideal opportunity to step away from the distractions and take time for myself!
Pat, Head Teacher, Notts
As a leadership team we have benefited from management coaching, which has been the most useful management training I have ever received. We plan to continue working with Debbie in this way, as the impact on our management approaches has been significant and is facilitating positive developments for all staff.
Belinda, Area Manager, Derbyshire County Council
These sessions came at exactly the right time for me in my career and your exercises and questioning have given me the opportunity to step back and evaluate my job, myself as a person and my role within the team. This has been invaluable. Thank you for all your help and advice.
Cath Lee, Assistant Head, Nottingham
Articulating where you’re going really helps give you clarity. The coaching helped me to do this.
Senior Leader, Chesterfield
Thank you for your help in unpicking some of the issues facing me at school. I felt more than anything that you were like a well informed friend who was there to help.
Sue, Head Teacher, Derbyshire
I found the series of coaching sessions I had with Debbie to be really valuable in helping me sort through what was a confusing time. I came out the other end feeling positive and focused. I would highly recommend her excellent coaching techniques and personal skills to anyone.
KB, Editor of a national magazine
Thank you Debbie for delivering an excellent training session today, which has provided the opportunity for me to reflect upon myself, both personally and professionally. I have not only gained increased understanding of the skills and actions necessary to take forward my leadership role, but I’ve also had the opportunity to discover the perception others have of my leadership approach. It was a great day!
Claire, Senior Leader, Nottinghamshire
