PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

"[James] is a creative and logical thinker, a quick learner and a self starter. He has quite an unusual skill set, in that he can assimilate information quickly, find creative processes and solutions that are efficient, and then translate for others in a way that can be grasped and understood. Every team needs someone with his skills as they are uncommon. He is the sort of leader you can delegate and distribute responsibility to and then trust him to work through the role. He doesn't need to be micro-managed and will ask for help or support if he needs it. He is totally trustworthy.”

-- Jen (School Improvement Consultant)

“James - such a kind and compassionate leader. Serving and leading wholeheartedly to enable change and progression for both young people and staff.”

-- Tim (CEO)


“James is resilient, sets an example to many, models healthy work patterns, champions wellbeing and is always open to feedback and growth. […] He is not afraid to put his head above the parapet and act courageously in situations that are not easy.”

-- Emily (Director)


“James has a strong desire to lead with integrity and purpose. He brings clarity and wisdom to a range of situations and problem solving conversations.”

-- Matt (Executive Head)


“We have worked together on several projects, and I found [James] a highly skilled and dedicated professional. His expertise in the field of Education has helped our company immensely. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for help within the Education sector but also further afield.”

-- Jon (Talent Acquision Partner)


“[James has overseen] the work of his own school and others across the network. Everything James does is with thorough consideration and a heart for excellence. He is also incredibly efficient; with an ability to pull out all the stops when needed.”

-- Scott (Charity/Education Executive Leader)


“James is highly professional and hard-working, and is always happy to offer his experience and expertise to support myself and others. During weekly mentor meetings and through lesson observations, James has consistently provided me with guidance, support and encouragement to assist me in my professional development. James' skills have also supported the wider team, having recently updated the school approach to careers and personal development. His planning and resources have proven to be invaluable; creating accessible content for students whilst reducing teacher stress and work-load.”

REVIEWS FOR MY BOOK,
"LEAVING WORK AT WORK: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO IMPROVING WORK/LIFE BALANCE FOR EDUCATORS"

“Very helpful for teachers entering the profession and in their early career. Although having been teaching for many years, I have found this book a great reminder to support my life / work balance.”-- Maria

“Been working through the work book individually and then again as part of a working group to support our well being charter in the work place. It has made me think about my work life balance and given me the strength to 'switch off' work and not feel guilty for it.”

-- T-J


“A really easy read with simple strategies that everyone can use both at work and in their home life, I will definitely be implementing some of these.”

-- Louise

REVIEWS FROM CLIENTS

“James has supported me to put in place systems that have revolutionized my day-to-day work. I have now been able to plan out the year effectively using a tool he has trained me to use, scheduling tasks well to ensure the highest priority tasks are completed on-time. This has also helped me mentally manage my workload and feel more in-control of my to-do list. In addition, he has helped me refine other systems to make them more efficient. I would definitely see myself using his services again in the future.”
-- Laura, Adventures In Yarncraft (bespoke package)
