“Enlightening, motivating, supportive and contextual.
The opportunity to focus on areas of strength and those that need development was very important. In particular, the opportunity to focus on them with an impartial advocate has increased my motivation to change them through supportive dialogue and accountability.
I will also lead by example in this area, using the skills I have developed through this process in my interaction with the LT and other staff.
I have enjoyed the process and the chance to reflect on, and discuss, my role as a senior leader. These opportunities have been rare in my position to date, but I will certainly be looking to create them further moving forward. Sycol has provided a ‘safe’ environment to discuss issues that I face in my role and has empowered me to address them by thinking through practical solutions that apply in my context. Thank you!

If you are busy, and time is precious, then Briefcoaching® is the perfect model for you. Designed to be time-sensitive, efficient and effective, our education-specific approach offers short, purposeful and structured coaching that can be easily implemented due its brevity and simplicity. Highly impactful, this is the very same method that we use to provide coaching and mentoring to the National Academy of Educational Leadership - so you'll be in very experienced hands.
Whether it's 1:1 or group you are after, our method will give you the regular opportunity to learn and grow within a supportive, challenging and professional context.
Our experience shows that most leaders, schools and colleges rely on un-tested coaching methods that have little to no sustainable impact. With our signature Brriefcoaching®, called the SAL Coaching Method™, you will receive an evidence-based approach that strikes the perfect balance between providing guidance and advising.
That's right, we'll advise you when necessary. We will be your mentor and, on the basis of our experience advise you during coaching too. As a matter of fact, we believe it unethical to not mentor you because of what traditional coaching theory states if it means you reach your goal faster.
Flexible, focused and bespoke, these sessions will provide you with the practical guidance and inspiration to grow as a brave leader.
Through exploring your own strengths and areas of relative weakness in a safe relationship you'll be able to set your own, unique goals and learn the principles of leadership that will change your leadership forever.

“Inspirational, outstanding, essential.
I can say with complete confidence that these sessions have changed my life. I didn't really expect such an impact and thought I was in a good place!
By working 'holistically' I am much healthier and happier. I have a lot more energy and I can focus much more clearly on my professional leadership work instead of being humble about the influence I have on others I now see it as a call to help people be as effective as possible.
I am shocked that this change happened so quickly to someone who was successful and happy before. I look back at myself a month ago with compassion. A fantastic experience and I very much hope to have an opportunity to receive more of this coaching in the very near future!"

We deliver mentoring and briefcoaching® on either a 1:1 or group basis. The 1:1 plan is suitable for individual leaders whereas group plans are particularly effective for leadership team development, for example, with a senior or middle leadership team or, to develop a group of aspiring leaders.
Whichever plan you choose, it will provide you with a great balance between time spent and results.
Individual, bespoke coaching and mentoring that focuses entirely on your leadership and goes at your own pace, rather than being part of a group.
Group coaching and mentoring for members of a leadership team e.g. senior or middle leadership.

"Transformational, professional and a reality-check.
The honesty of the sessions was special, especially as I looked at what I needed to change.
The sessions have been incredibly beneficial - straight, positive and sincere. The model is relatively simple, but the effectiveness was obvious.
I have been personally and professionally challenged in a way I have never been before and that was necessary for me to be able to develop as a whole person with self-worth which my staff, students and family can be proud. "
