Leadership Coaching
Heads of small schools have a herculean task in managing all aspects of their school, community and board. With fewer resources (both financial and human), they still need to accomplish the same tasks as larger schools.
Many times, smaller schools are led by leaders in their first headship position.
These leaders need support!
Engaging in a coaching/mentorship relationship with someone who has been the leader of a small school and who can listen, reflect, and support, provides small school leaders with a valuable opportunity to process, learn, and grow.
Benefits of Leadership Coaching:
Increased self-awareness Increased confidence
Increased skills
Increased motivation
Increased efficacy
