Backdrop Leadership Group
‘Putting your consultancy, coaching and mentoring centre stage’
When I left my role leading schools, I wanted to use my leadership experience to support leaders in all all sectors, including education, charity and business, to achieve their aims, goals and potential through high quality consultancy, coaching and mentoring.
Our approach is grounded in ethics, respect and a genuinely non‑judgemental way of working. We put you and your workplace firmly ‘centre stage’, ensuring that your needs shape every step we take together. Our role is not only to support you now, but to strengthen your confidence and capability so that you and your organisation continue to thrive long after our work is complete.
This commitment matters because I’ve too often experienced the opposite in the education sector: approaches that felt disempowering, directive or disconnected from real needs. I knew things had to change, and our work reflects that belief.
So, I have 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.
At Backdrop Leadership, we specialise in comprehensive coaching, mentoring and training services designed to empower schools, businesses and charities. Our expertise in executive, leadership and team coaching, as well as school consultancy, SEN reviewing and SENDCo mentoring, enables organisations to achieve sustainable growth and excellence.
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.
