I have always had a passion for learning and supporting others to achieve personal and professional success. As a former Headteacher, I know the tremendous expectations that can be placed upon schools and their staff. I embraced my Headship with enthusiasm and ambition though at times I often felt isolated, insecure and exhausted. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in coaching as part of my leadership development.  It was transformational. Coaching enabled me to improve professionally and create positive change for others. Working with my own coach, I learnt how to work effectively, manage change and remove or overcome any barriers that were holding me back. I became able to balance the demands of an intensive job with a young family and feel far more confident and energized. As a direct result of my experience I wanted to ensure all educators had the opportunity to experience coaching and  build their leadership skills to create success for themselves and inspire their teams and school community.  Feeling the experience of coaching for myself and seeing the positive impact it has on others is the reason I became a qualified coach. I know leadership can be tough, but I also believe it can be the most enjoyable and rewarding role you will ever have. Coaching reminds us of what we value and why we love what we do. Whatever challenges you face as a leader, I can assure you learning coaching is the best decision you will ever make.

As a leader, how do you approach developing and managing strategy in your organisation? How should it consider the future, especially in times of uncertainty?  What could you do to develop your team's strategic thinking? How do you go about strengthening the organisation's strategy capabilities so that it has the confidence to deal with the challenges and opportunities that might arise?  Our Strategy Insights Masterclasses are designed to help you answer these questions and  develop an approach that is right for your organisation. Every organisation is different and faces its own challenges, and in the Masterclasses we adopt a 'first principles' approach to strategy and the tools, techniques and methods which can help, including the space and individual advice so that you can decide how to apply these in your organisation. The Masterclasses are led by David Booth, who has been helping organisations develop and implement their strategies for over 25 years, working with some of the UK’s leading organisations from the NHS to major financial institutions. Prior to this he spent 20 years in business management, working for companies including United Biscuits, Grand Metropolitan and Smith & Nephew, in senior roles across marketing, HR, and strategic development.  David’s book, ‘Strategy Journeys – a Guide to Effective Strategic Planning’ was shortlisted for the Chartered Management Institute Management Book of the Year 2018, and he is a Fellow of the Strategic Planning Society (FStratPS).
