About coaching

Working with an Executive Leadership Coach is the highest level of professional development for leaders. Coaching provides the leaders with the opportunity to reflect on their practice in a neutral confidential environment. Leaders receive objective feedback from a former school leader. Agencies providing this high level of investment for their employees will realize a higher level of productivity, decreased turnover and high employee satisfaction.
