The Leadership Lab

Developing connected, confident and future-focused leaders and teams.

The Leadership Lab is our space for deep thinking, purposeful growth, and meaningful change. It offers the structure, challenge, and support to move forward through which education professionals grow the internal capacity needed in themselves, their teams, and their organisations to lead with greater clarity, connection, and impact.

For Individual Leaders

Coaching

Leading a school is high-stakes, high-pressure, and deeply human. Our executive coaching supports leaders to think clearly, lead with purpose, and create lasting impact for their teams and students.

We offer bespoke coaching sequences that help you:

  • Strengthen strategic thinking and confidence in decision-making

  • Navigate pressure, change, and team dynamics with clarity

  • Lead authentically — with emotional intelligence and sustainability

We believe sustainable school improvement starts with strong, self-aware leadership. Through confidential, high-challenge coaching, we support:

  • Personal development that drives systemic change

  • Emerging and senior leaders at every stage

  • Professional growth aligned with your school’s core values and priorities

For Teams

Team Coaching

Team coaching provides a structured, high-trust space for leadership teams to reflect, recalibrate, and strengthen the way they work together. Whether you’re a newly formed team, facing a shift in strategic direction, or leading through change, we support you to navigate complexity as a cohesive unit.

Our approach includes:

  • Diagnostics to surface strengths, challenges, and team dynamics

  • Coaching sequences to build psychological safety, trust, and shared accountability

  • Support through leadership transitions and cultural change

  • Facilitated sessions that combine reflection, action-planning, and strategic alignment

Team coaching creates clarity, connection, and a sense of collective purpose — so your team can lead with confidence and consistency.

Are there value clashes within your team leading to friction and a sense of devalue?

Team Development

Our team development programmes are designed to build the capabilities and shared practices that enable leadership teams to thrive. From communication and decision-making to distributed leadership and strategic delivery, we help teams operate with greater clarity, impact, and cohesion.

We work with teams to:

  • Develop key leadership competencies and collaborative behaviours

  • Align values, priorities, and leadership behaviours across the team

  • Build sustainable habits of high performance and collective problem-solving

  • Navigate role clarity, restructure, or evolving strategic demands

Using evidence-based tools and flexible delivery formats, we tailor each programme to your team’s development stage and strategic context.

Are there conflicting priorities or a lack of shared vision across your team?

Collaboration Labs

Our Collaboration Labs are high-energy, facilitated sessions that bring teams or cross-school groups together to tackle live issues, co-create strategy, or explore new ways of working.

They are ideal for:

  • Driving innovation and strategic thinking

  • Building consensus and shared ownership

  • Unlocking group creativity and distributed leadership

  • Embedding a culture of joint problem-solving and learning

Collaboration Labs can be one-off events or form part of a wider programme of leadership development or school improvement.

Is poor cohesion or siloed working styles limiting the potential of your team?
