TESTIMONIALS
Martin helped me to unlock and realise my true potential. He systematically coached me to set a achievable goals and put me in the right direction and frame of mind to achieve them. I now look forward to my coaching sessions, with optimism and with a bounce in my step . . Martin's gentle nature and personable approach, allows me to feel safe and comfortable in our conversations . . . For anyone thinking about starting coaching with Martin I would say, don't look back, keep moving forward and let yourself be guided by someone who deeply cares and is willing to invest time in you.
ELEANOR HENREY
Deputy Headmistress
Our Senior Management Team embarked upon our work with Coaching4Schools with excitement but also a degree of trepidation. We needn’t have worried and five months on the team has not only greatly benefitted from the input and support from Martin and Chanel but we look forward to our time with them both. They work intelligently but with care and empathy, their relaxed and engaging style building the trust necessary for colleagues to initiate honest discussions which have not only challenged us but have helped us to build a more efficient and cohesive team . . . I can highly recommend Coaching4Schools.
ED REES
Headmaster of Hornsby House School
I have known Martin for many years. He was an inspirational teacher, coach, housemaster in excellent UK schools before heading overseas where he successfully set up a new, independent school as Deputy Head . . . Martin joined us . . . to help generate a deeper sense of teamwork and belonging . . . my staff are still talking about his impact. The reason for Martin’s impact is a combination of his character, experience (in the sector and beyond) and his commitment to truly understanding the precise context and culture of each school he supports so that his delivery is personal and bespoke.

The structured approach, combined with insightful and practical sessions, facilitated not only the enhancement of our leadership skills, but also fostered a spirit of collaboration and innovation among our aspiring leaders. Martin and his team are knowledgeable and approachable, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. They have been thorough in their preparations and always available to provide guidance and support, ensuring that every session will be directly relevant to our needs. I highly recommend the middle leaders development programme . . . such a transformative opportunity.
