Zoe believes in the power of coaching, seeing it as an invaluable part of our journey as leaders, helping us to achieve the very best we can, both professionally and personally.

working background

Zoe’s interest in coaching starting back in 2016 when she first attended a short session on the principles of coaching and how it differs from mentoring. This led to a passion for coaching and a commitment to using it as a tool for professional and personal development. Since 2021, Zoe has coached participants on the National Professional Qualifications for Headship and Executive Leadership.

Coaching Niche

Zoe predominately coaches within the education sector but values any opportunity to work with clients across other organisations and sectors. Zoe has introduced a culture of coaching across her organisation and can also offer advice and support around the development of coaching within the workplace, including its use as a tool to support performance development. Zoe is described by her coachees as an active listener who asks thought-provoking and challenging questions. One coachee describes the sessions as being ‘a safe space to explore any challenges or issues that are playing on your mind, supporting you to find a way forward.

Training and qualifications

Relevant qualifications for coaching include: – ICF Coaching Accreditation ACC – National Professional Qualification for Executive Leaders – Training on coaching by Ambition and Leadership Learning
I started my coaching sessions with Zoe when I took on my first Headship. Her support has been invaluable. Headship can be a lonely place at times and having a professional coach has supported me in not only my decision making but also in building my confidence in knowing how to tackle challenges and overcome these successfully. Zoe is both friendly and professional and her coaching skills have enabled me to think more clearly and openly about my role and the responsibilities I hold. I couldn’t recommend Zoe highly enough.
