Mentoring and Training for HoDs/Middle Leaders or HsMs of Independent Schools

As a Head of Department/Middle Leader or HsM at an independent school, you probably already recognise the short- and long-term value of confidential 1:1 mentoring.

It succeeds because it taps into the highly particular needs of individual candidates regardless of specialism or level of experience. Robin builds motivation, creativity, advanced communication, self and social awareness, self-confidence, resilience, plus other skills necessary for lifelong success, that you can then pass on to others in your team. 

While the benefits of in-person bespoke mentoring are clear, in this ever-changing world there is also a post-Covid surge in demand for online and remote professional and personal development. Robin’s online platform of bespoke training videos now form part of his professional support offering. Access is made available on their own or in a new hybrid package that also includes a group facilitated session that normally takes place during the Summer term, which can be delivered face-to-face or online anywhere in the UK and further afield.
