Can I share quickly, that I had the most positive coaching session with a staff member today. She came in super low, solved it all herself, thought of a plan moving forward, and all from me asking questions!!!
She left empowered and motivated about work again. I call it all wizardry and magic but thanks to your PD the magic happened easily for me, it was great!
Principal, Waikato, NZ.
An enormous thank you for the work you've done with us this year. It is seriously the best PLD I have undertaken. The discussions have always been lively and free-flowing and wholly supportive.
