Having a mentor not only helps with cognitive shifts, it helps me to contain and manage anxieties that were beginning to affect my performance. This is vital for me if I am to continue in management.
Feedback from a senior leader mentor-coached by Janet
Leadership Coaching
Janet is an experienced coach and has worked with a variety of people in senior leadership roles; headteachers, senior leaders in schools and chief and senior executives. Leaders can feel isolated in their role and have little space to talk through the issues or indeed have someone appropriate with whom to achieve this. Coaching sessions with a skilled practitioner like Janet provides the space and climate to talk openly.
Client centred approach
Janet uses a client-centred approach, based on the work of Gerard Egan, enabling the client to clarify the issues they wish to address and helping them identify the ways to move forward productively.
Enhance your leadership capacity
Coaching sessions last typically about an hour and can be arranged to suit the convenience of the individual. Clients are guaranteed confidentiality and can choose how they want the sessions to proceed.
Janet is also a trainer for people who want to develop their coaching skills and provides training through the London Centre for Leadership in Learning as part of the Institute of Education at London University and is currently piloting an MA module in mentoring-Coaching for Middlesex University in conjunction with the London Borough of Enfield.
