Hannah Cameron (Headteacher) Richmond Hill School
The Secret to Leading Without Overload (For Headteachers & School Leaders)
What's the impact of the Coachinginschools Training?
If you’re a school leader and you DREAD the words: “Have you got a minute?” or “When you get a second…” or “Can I have a word?” – this is for you!
Hannah (who’s now a Headteacher of a large 2 site special school) shares how her workload kept growing, and she struggled to balance her own responsibilities with supporting others.
Through trying a new way – applying the Coachinginschools methodology – Hannah shifted the burden from her to her colleagues, whilst giving them the tools to find their own solutions.
She no longer jumps in with answers or imposes her own experiences. Instead, she uses what we taught her to help staff to think critically, take ownership, and be more accountable.
This shift hasn’t just freed up her time – it’s also improved staff motivation, professional development, and overall school leadership.
If you’re a school leader looking for a way to reduce stress while increasing staff effectiveness, this video is for you.
'Golden Nuggets' include:
“I used to dread hearing, ‘Have you got a minute?’ – now, I feel confident that I can help people find their own answers without taking on their problems.”
“Through laser questioning, I’ve learned how to guide staff to their own solutions, making them more accountable and motivated.”
“Coaching has helped me listen more – I now spend 90% of the time listening, which has completely changed how I lead.”
“I no longer impose my experiences onto staff. Instead, I help them think critically, making lesson observations and appraisals far more effective.”
“I’ve gone from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control – coaching hasn’t just changed how I lead, it’s changed how I manage my own workload.”
