About Us

we are leonedu

LeonEdu provide training and coaching for Principals, Teachers and School Staff. Our bespoke CPD training and coaching programmes include Training Workshops on a number of key themes:

  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Resilience
  • Challenging Conversations
  • Bringing the Best Out of Those Around You
  • Developing Leadership Capability

 

All of these things will have a direct impact on your personal effectiveness and you will expect to see immediate results.

We also design and deliver Senior Leadership Development Programmes; Middle Leadership Training Programmes and a ‘Leader as Coach’ Programme (accredited by the Association of Coaching).

The theme of wellbeing runs through all of our work. We believe people create the most value when they are psychologically safe, healthy, happy, and when their work carries the right blend of support and challenge.

The LeonEdu Team are highly skilled and experienced facilitators who are committed to change, excellence, learning and growth.

We seek to:

  • Build on existing strengths
  • Inspire and transform thinking and behaviours
  • Connect people to the strategic vision and journey of the school
  • Challenge beliefs and capability to promote greater confidence and create lasting change

LeonEdu believe in developing self-sustainable models of learning and development with the focus of improvement along with an in-house expertise so that school staff develop their own expertise.

I would recommend LeonEdu for a school that wants to find creative ways to develop their staff holistically. I found the session engaging and well-tailored to our needs.
