What is Coaching?

Brought to you by the SEYIS team, executive coaching is a powerful, focused, and effective development tool for senior leaders in any organisation. Executive coaching sessions are skilled and targeted conversations that challenge and support leaders to help themselves, and their schools, to excel over the long term.

How does it work?

Coaching is a two-way dialogue where the intention is to involve the other person in finding solutions through a process of setting goals, effective questioning, listening and appropriate challenge in a supporting and encouraging way.

Coaching will help school leaders to feel empowered and joyful, to see their vision into reality, have raised awareness and improved well-being.
