Leadership & Management Development
If you have been promoted to management in education, you may well have received little or no real training
in this area. We offer leadership and management training that is aimed at supporting you and developing
your skills as a team leader and motivator of colleagues. We believe that the leadership is developed from
within and avoid jargon-laden training; we work with you to develop your skills and potential as a leader at
whatever level. Open courses or in-house training can be provided that is tailored to the needs of the
delegates. We also provide coaching and mentoring
to allow senior leaders to move on with their skills and abilities to lead well.

This course concentrates less on theory but more on
the commonsense approach to leadership and provides tools to help you in your day to day working life.
It covers:
- Assertiveness: leading difficult teams, getting your views across, making a difference
- Presenting yourself positively: self image, body language, how you can communicate effectively, dress to impress
- Getting the best out of your teams: Building on their strengths, overcoming their " lesser strengths"
- Managing meetings effectively (1:1s, team meetings, formal meetings): making them more meaningful, less time consuming, keeping participants involved
- Managing your time: using your time more effectively, prioritising, dealing with difficult tasks you don’t want to do, reduce panic and stress when you have too many things to do!

We are offering workshops as open or in-house in:
