Catch up with Bright Lead
I thought it was about time I let you know what we’ve been up to, as you plan-in-earnest your CPD for next year, and consider what we might be able to do for you.
2024 got off to a full-on start back in January, as we welcomed our ninth cohort of Senior Leaders to our 12-week Group Coaching Programme. The pace has continued throughout the year and, so far, Bright Lead has…
Welcomed our seventh cohort to our Leadership Training Programme for a global video games publisher,
Worked with nine schools providing staff CPD, including three long-term development programmes for senior and middle leadership teams,
Facilitated five training sessions for an internationally renowned engineering company,
Coached five cohorts through the 6-week Positive Intelligence programme,
Delivered two collaborative sessions with Diverse Educators,
Delivered two CPD sessions in collaboration with GSA,
Completed two senior leader / Head appraisals,
And, provided over 70 1:1 coaching sessions.
This has all been in addition to some lovely personal moments, including celebrating my Mum’s birthday (it was a notable one!), enjoying a ski trip to Austria whilst catching up with an old friend, a week exploring Morocco, and cheering Rob’s son over the finish line of his first Marathon. We’re also off to the Isle of Mull in a couple of weeks’ time.
It’s been a joy to meet with so many passionate leaders, at various stages of their leadership journeys, and to help teams knit together, bringing the best of themselves to realise their joint goals, and empower them all to organisational success.
“This programme is inspiring. Nicky delivers a range of knowledge and understanding which allows you to reflect, implement and move forward, alongside considering specific aspects of leadership, life and teaching, week by week.”

What’s coming up?
We’re already filling up with bookings for CPD days in September/October and January. There are still a few spaces available, so please do Contact Us to discuss these opportunities for your company or school.
We particularly enjoy providing bespoke leadership solutions for teams, incorporating facilitated sessions with 1:1 and team coaching over an extended period of a term or two, or a year.
I’m also looking forward to leading the Senior Leaders and Middle Leaders Group Coaching programmes in the new school year, in association with the GSA. It’s always lovely to meet a new group of participants, and to help them develop and grow their networks, their leadership presence, and find balance in their personal and professional lives.
"When you think you have no time for your own CPD, it's a sign that you do absolutely need and deserve that professional and personal development! You will gain that time."

I’ll also be continuing to deliver workshops raising Menopause Awareness, working in partnership with Diverse Educators delivering CPD, undertaking appraisals, creating Bespoke Training Programmes, and continuing to facilitate. This is always rewarding, as I know from experience how much better things can be when teams work together with committed and effective leadership.
