Coaching Focus develops great leaders in education.

Are you new to leadership, stepping up in your role or wanting to lift your team? Coaching Focus will help you to find your feet and to find your stride.

Education needs leaders who are not only good at their craft but are also great at leading others. This is a challenge when leadership skills aren’t covered in teacher training and teachers are too busy to learn it just by osmosis.

Coaching Focus is here to help you be more confident in your leadership and move your leadership career forward.

We will help you to know who you are as a leader and to understand others so you can be the inspirational, focused leader you want to be.

We need more leadership role models in schools. You could be that role model for those you lead.

We believe great leaders are clear, consistent, confident and considered. They use a coaching style, have a focus on healthy staff culture and strong working relationships. They have high emotional intelligence and are both resilient and assertive in challenging conversations.

If this is what you want for yourself or for those in your team, then let’s start a conversation.

I’m Janine Stratford, the founder of Coaching Focus. We will help you whether it be developing yourself as a leader, strengthening your team or building coaching competence across your organisation. We work across Australia and New Zealand.

So… what’s your challenge right now – finding your feet or finding your stride?

SUCCESS STORIES

Janine provided strategies and she made me think! I felt comfortable to discuss any aspect of my role with Janine. She challenged me to change my behaviour and to improve my work outcomes. She helped me see different perspectives and analyse things I did and thoughts I held. She encouraged me and supported me to work on areas of my work life that needed improvement.

Karen Bryce , VCE Co-ordinator

In reference to Leadership Coaching

This conference was different to any other conference I have been to. It promoted connection with other leaders, inspired me to ‘take control’ of my career, and offered me ideas as to how I can further my own understanding of my leadership style. It recognised my strengths, but also showed my areas of challenge, recognising the importance of understanding both and the impact they can have on the way I lead in a school environment.

Olivia Stephen, Year Level Coordinator

In reference to The Leading Edge: Women In Education Conference, Melbourne

I truly believe that The Leading Edge: Women in Education Conference had something to offer women at any stage of their leadership careers. The fantastic range of presenters generously shared valuable insights, experiences and advice, and I took away knowledge that will stay with me throughout my career. I would highly recommend the conference to anyone looking to grow both personally and professionally.

Ellen Robinson, German/French Teacher

In reference to The Leading Edge: Women In Education Conference, Melbourne

Janine’s coaching enabled me to reflect and talk about myself way more than I could have imagined. As a result, I have made some real progress setting and achieving important goals in relation to the way I work and the way I interact and relate to the people around me in my workplace.

Andrew Johnson, Careers Advisor, English and Drama Teacher

In reference to Leadership Coaching

I have learnt a number of strategies and new ways of thinking about the challenges of my role. It has been great to have the opportunity to sit down with an experienced school leader and discuss ideas and strategies in a time that would otherwise not be available. Janine has challenged my thinking and helped me develop.

Alan Clarke, International Student Coordinator

In reference to Leadership Coaching

I was lacking the ability to clarify my goals and to set realistic objectives before working with Janine. Janine has helped me to build my confidence and to assert myself in the workplace, as well as assisting me to put in place some clear strategies in order for me to move forward in my career.

Kiri Adams, Deputy Level Coordinator

In reference to Leadership Coaching

Coaching has challenged and empowered me, expediting my development in my new leadership position. I have valued the direct and honest conversations that have required me to understand and clarify my vision, priorities and leadership style.
