Testimonial

“Coaching with Marie has made me more reflective of my achievements and embedded the importance of implementing a consistent approach. It has made me more aware of the amount of time I invest in people, which is important in a large educational organisation. I have learned how important consistent decision making is and demonstrating respect /care for team members is so important in my school community. I have found the program very productive; it has been very satisfying and reassuring to talk about the strategies I implement in my organisation and to discuss and evaluate these strategies for the future”
