Genuine partnerships

 

We create genuine partnerships between school leaders and business leaders so they can learn from each other and grow their leadership skills and confidence.

"It has changed my practice, giving time without a big agenda to bounce ideas off each other. It provides a different set of eyes, a different way of thinking and helps you develop."

"This is the first time in 20 yrs of being in education that I had the proper opportunity to sit back and reflect on key elements of the job in a non threatening environment, and think clearly."
