Developmental Coaching

with The Glass House Leadership Lab

What are your next steps forward?

Private coaching sessions led by you

Leading in education can be empowering, creative, and truly satisfying however, like all things, also comes with an array of challenges which change depending on the role and context. As a leader you want to take your organisation forward but this is often hindered by the day-to-day juggle and short-term wins.

You are the leader of your development journey and so your coaching sessions are led by you, what you want to move towards and the challenges and successes you are experiencing. Our Coaches use state of the art diagnostics to guide you forward and provide a clear and safe space for you to explore your development using your map.

We are passionate about supporting leaders in education to become their best and true selves and have the confidence, depth of understanding and nuance to take their team and organisation with them.

We work with you to advance your leadership performance, designing your map of development and navigating your way through.
