Backdrop Leadership Group

‘Putting your consultancy, coaching and mentoring centre stage’

Services We Offer

Welcome to Backdrop Leadership Group

When I left my role leading schools in 2017, I wanted to start a business that supported all sectors, including education, charity and business, to acheive their aims, goals and potential through high quality consultancy, coaching and mentoring.

It is important to me that our approach is ethical and non-judgmental and focused on your needs. That we put you and your work place ‘centre stage!’. And that we empower you and your organisation) to continue to move forward when our part in the work is over. Why was this important? Because I had experienced the exact opposite so many times in my work in education that I felt things have to change.

So, that’s what I did. I created a team of coaches, mentors and education consultants who put you ‘centre stage.’ Who help you to deliver your professional/personal aims or goals and to achieve your potential. In doing so, supporting an organisation on its journey.

What I am most proud of, however, is that we maintain our humanity and give our advice as if we had to do the work, applying our understanding of the pressures of life and leadership in the work we do.

We’d love to discuss your needs; so that we can be one step closer to helping you to discover the solutions to your challenges.

We just want to help you to achieve your potential.

Professional dialogue and deep questioning. Thorough understanding of my two tiny schools and our unique processes gained over the day. A good experience.'
