As a coach working with teachers, she realised that loss of self and loss of purpose is a key element in what holds educators back from being their best and pursuing what matters most. Through the Purposeful Leadership and Purposeful Coaches programmes, Naomi is determined to be part of a purpose revolution in schools across the UK and internationally.From Naomi, you can expect an embodiment of our principles, challenge and permission to slow down and stop to reflect on where you are.&#x27;IIt was like a switch was flipped and everything changed. I don&#x27;t listen to my doubting voice any more.&#x27; Sabrina Marie-AnaisChris Reddy is a leadership coach working with adults and young people.

I know that when I’m ‘on purpose,’ work doesn’t feel like work. Briony Bowers, Deputy Head &#x27;The communal support has made us all bolder.’  Danni Almond, History Teacher and Head of Year ‘There’s an urgent need to connect teachers back to their purpose. This could keep some teachers in the profession. Teachers leave because they’ve lost their sense of purpose.’ Shaun McIerney, Head of Learning and Innovation&#x27;Here are people who really care about getting us to think the best about ourselves and get the most out of who we are.&#x27; Kerry Jordan DausAside from the fact that the content and coaching is sublime, the point of difference to other learning programmes is the genuine community you become part of.&#x27; Amy Carson, DT Teacher  Our next Purposeful Leadership programme begins on Wednesday 9th June over six weeks.
