I'm the Co-Founder and Lead Coach of Classroom Exit Coach; we work with educators to help them make a successful transition from teaching into new career paths.We do everything from helping you figure out your pathway out of teaching, perfecting your CV, helping you make stand out job applications, teaching you how to network and get your foot in the door, how to use LinkedIn for leveraging, acing your interview preparation, developing your business idea, growing your side hustle.... We're all about helping teachers make a successful career change.I spent 11 years in frontline education. I held a variety of roles such as Head of Department, Assistant Headteacher, Director of Sixth Form, ending my teaching career as a Deputy Headteacher of a large secondary school. The theme throughout my career has been providing the right support to help people be the best version of themselves. I know the vast array of skills you have to offer. Working as your coach, I will help you take back control of your life, set boundaries and explore the world of new career possibilities beyond the classroom. Prior to Classroom Exit Coach, I was a high-preforming and motivated senior leader working as a Deputy Headteacher in a large secondary school. While I was in post the organisation was independently rated in the top 8% of schools by Ofsted. I managed the daily operations of 72 frontline teaching staff to provide educational excellence for in excess of 1,000 students. I led the school from a Progress 8 score of -0.08 to 0.42 in just 2 years (Well Above Average).In my home life my passions are boxing and exploring the Lake District (hence the banner picture - view from Scafell Pike, April 2022). Not only does this keep me fit, I have had some of my clearest and most innovative moments when I am walking or training. I am always happy to have a conversation with anyone who feels I may be able to help them with anything, or feel they can help me!
