The Thinking Academy - The Thinking Academy

We know that when leaders have clarity, confidence and positivity they lead happy and successful organisations. Our coaching, impactful training and supervision can empower you to dream more, do more and be more.

Any organisation is only as good as its people. Great leaders instill a sense of purpose and passion in others, creating a culture of success and achievement that can impact every aspect of a school. Excellent results are achieved by the collective efforts of dedicated individuals who can propel a school forward towards its vision and aspirations.

Schools face challenges: time constraints, resource limitations, and mounting pressure. Adaptation and change are imperative. Enter coaching conversations – they cultivate a reflective, happy, and solutions focused culture.

A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.

I had some understanding of coaching but this course gave practical, simple and structured ways of doing it in a school setting. Thank you to our wonderful teacher, who made it engaging (and fun) for learners. This course has given me an insight in to implementing a coaching culture and practice in my place of work, but most of all, helped me to reflect on my own performance and productivity. Many thanks!

Leonie's course on advanced coaching was excellent. Lots of really helpful and challenging ideas for developing coaching skills, led in an engaging and purposeful way. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop their coaching skills. We have commissioned Leonie to work with our leadership team later in the year on the basis of my experiences! Thank you!

I attended the three day Advanced Coaching Programme and it's one of the best courses I have ever attended. I have learnt a lot about myself, both professionally and personally. Working with Leonie has empowered me to tackle those difficult conversations. She has given me the skills to ask questions which makes my colleagues think about solutions for themselves.

Excellent 3 day leadership coaching course. Leonie is extremely knowledgeable and insightful. I have already signed up to the ILM Level 5 coaching course!

Anne Freeman

Working alongside Leonie has allowed me to find my confidence again and celebrate my traits and personality, rather than fight them. After each session, I always walked away feeling “lighter” and feeling like things had become “clearer”. I can not thank Leonie enough for her support and I’m looking forward to continuing to use all the tools discussed to move forward in my new role.

As a school leader you have limited time and every minute is precious. You also have no time for snake oil, ephemeral trends or just good ideas. My experience of working with the Thinking Academy has been none of these. It has been exceptional value for money and a tangible transformation in how I think, lead and relate. Coaching has been a rigorous work through of what has felt like unsurmountable issues and on each occasion we have found a clear way through. Alongside this there have been opportunities to chip away at my own barriers and perceptions and to grow in my understanding of cultures and characters. I truly am a better leader because of the coaching I have received. I would say that I have to budget and make time for coaching with the academy as it has become essential for my wellbeing, strategic thinking and leadership development. Better than any book or course!!
