In England there is no middle leader framework to help scaffold the development over time of middle leaders, who often evolve into middle leadership through development of their strong teaching.
Now layering leadership and management onto their role, there is little more disheartening than watching an inspirational teacher and middle leader become disenfranchised, or burnt out within the first two or three years of middle leadership through lack of self-awareness, knowledge or skill. Shaping Culture with Confidence is a seven module group training and development programme specifically written to equip middle leaders with the tools and self awareness to flourish in their roles. |
"A BIG THANK YOU JO! I have learnt so much. I feel confident that I know the key elements of leading a team, developing trust, giving feedback, managing difficult conversations and leading change. Thank you for planning the course around those topics, which are key to our job as middle leaders..”

The programme is delivered by Jo Halliday; former Executive Headteacher and owner of Coach Evolution. It is highly personalised to each group and is based on Jo's extensive research around middle leadership, experience in development of middle leaders, and coaching expertise. The programme uses a combination of coaching and mentoring appropriate to the participants’ needs.

During the programme there is the opportunity to try out new tools in a safe space and to think about how to apply new learnings back in the work space between sessions.
All course materials are accessed through a secure learning platform unique to the clients. The final module is a chance to look back and to reflect; it is an opportunity to consolidate new learnings, new experiences, growth and moving forward, to commit to a plan. |
“Before this course, I saw myself like an 'unprepared leader with the best intentions'. After your course, I know what I am doing and why; more importantly, I know the topics we have discussed are going to be relevant for any leadership role in the future so I am confident that it is about revisiting them and reflecting about what I am doing as a leader and what impact is having. THANK YOU! "
