“Probably the best CPD I have had. The passion, clarity and openness made it a thoroughly engaging day which has challenged my thinking. A real strength was the different ways in which the material was presented video, data, image, discussion and debate. Thank you I am confident I will be a stronger teacher and leader as a result.”

“The training day was very motivational and helped me to identity where our school are in terms of developing a growth mindset culture. I am looking forward to planning how to develop this and will use the resources provided by Nicola to help engage all stake holders. I have a much better understanding of what growth mindset is and look forward to continuing this.”

“Amazing training, engaging and knowledgeable trainer very impressed WILL highly recommend to my Head of School, most interesting and helpful training I HAVE HAD EVER! I love Nic. Will be looking for her training and book again after today!”
