“Alison worked as a highly effective head of service in the Council and was central to delivering significant improvements in educational outcomes in the county: she was an inspiring leader with vision and integrity. 

Alison’s coaching of managers was critical to this success: engaging staff through very challenging times; reinforcing values; enabling teams to be clearer about their purpose and objectives and develop their skills to improve performance.”

“I found the coaching sessions very useful because they provided me with new strategies and approaches to enable me to help others first identify, and then develop strategies for areas of their practice they wanted to improve.

Through coaching I’ve found that people take more ownership over their targets, since they’re self-generated, and it also enables them to approach future targets more independently.”
