Coaching for Teachers
Helping you thrive in a profession you love
“Working with Jo gave me the confidence to say what I really wanted. In the end it was so simple, I needn't have worried, and the difference to my working day has been immense."
Many people take the teaching that they or their children receive for granted in their lives. Unless you experience it from the inside, you do not appreciate just what a challenging career it can be. My husband was a teacher for several years and this drives my desire to help teachers thrive in a profession they have chosen
from a place of passion.
Whilst I have an understanding of the demands teaching places on individuals, I do not purport to be an expert in it. Rather, I am an expert in providing you the space to find the answers to making a change and getting what you want.

Some teacher stories
WISEBIRD PATH 1
Achieve balance
This teacher was working long hours to the detriment of their family time, leisure time, eating patterns and fitness.
Coaching helped them see the life they wanted instead and make it happen.
WISEBIRD PATH 2
Be confident in the classroom
This NQT was struggling to manage difficult classes in their first school.
NLP gave them the tools they needed to manage their state so that they could look forward to their lessons and perform with confidence in them.
WISEBIRD PATH 3
Find new motivation
This head teacher had reached the top and was lacking motivation in their role.
Coaching helped them to understand what motivated them in other areas of their life and how they could apply it to inject renewed enthusiasm for their work.
WISEBIRD PATH 4
Overcome anxiety
The exceptional circumstances for teachers during the pandemic had left this teacher feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and very reluctant to go to work.
Coaching and NLP helped them manage their state, manage their self talk, take back control and continue in the profession they loved.
