Promoting happiness in the classroom.
Support, resources and training.
Good mental health is an issue for all of us. While it is common to think that we should offer interventions to those who present with obvious needs, the fact is that we all benefit from being involved in activities that develop positive coping strategies and promote meaningful, respectful relationships – staff and pupils alike!

Mental health is so important, especially during these unsettling times. ❤️
We have been successfully running children’s mindfulness classes and school training/well-being days for over 3 years; our CEO is also a qualified primary school teacher, freelance author and mindfulness teacher. ?
To support the mental heath of children and teachers, we have designed and written over 50 mindfulness sessions, along with lesson plans. The sessions cover such topics as anxiety, dealing with emotions, anger and more are added regularly . There is also a section on staff CPD.
Sessions last from 2- 20 minutes, so you can then choose when to incorporate them into your day. There is something for all age children in clear sections.
Let’s look after our minds and each other.
Educational coaching can be extremely beneficial in a school or college environment for students and teachers alike. Facilitating powerful change in the classroom for both teachers and students can be a key focus for some educational centres that wish to revitalise their teaching style or the attitude of the student body.
Teachers already facilitate their own development through Continuous Professional Development programs and teacher training, however, many teachers find that they benefit greatly from an educational coaching course as it allows them to focus solely on their own goals and what they need to do to improve. The confidence, self- belief and attitude of a teacher can be positively changed by the experience of professional educational coaching. Similarly, students can benefit extremely from this kind of interaction as it provides a new way of focusing on their personal targets while acting as an inspirational tool for overcoming personal challenges.
As a leader, it goes without saying that you need to be performing to your maximum: your organisation, business and team are depending on you to be at your best.
What is the impact of leadership coaching?
Leadership coaching gives you the tools to achieve this by enabling you to take a step back; giving you the space and clarity you need to take a detached view of yourself and your performance.
‘Liz Scott Coaching and Training’ works with many leaders. The organisations may be different but the leaders all face similar issues; it could be communication, delegation, confidence or effectiveness.
Regaining your passion for leadership
Busy leaders can at times struggle to see the wood for the trees and get bogged down, making it difficult for them to carry out their most important tasks. So taking that step back is crucial in removing themselves from the situation and re-connecting with their strategic role. Suddenly, they find they’ve regained their passion for the work that they do.
Leadership coaching develops great leaders
Good leaders also bring out the best in their teams; they inspire, they listen and they are non-judgmental. This is what 1-2-1 leadership coaching brings; it offers you the chance to develop and grow.
The end result of leadership coaching is just that – results. See the difference that leadership coaching can make.
