CONNECTED HEADS
We understand that leadership can be very challenging and that it can feel lonely at the top. Coaching with The Thinking Academy provides you the chance to talk with someone who will recognise the difficulties you are facing, the nagging doubts, concerns and pressures. We’ll give you a confidential, non-judgmental space, to listen and help you discover new thinking, which enable you to gain fresh perspectives and provide clarity. If you need someone who has been there, who can empathise and support you in navigating the challenges of leadership, coaching with us is the solution you are a looking for.

Connected Heads
There’s a reason the old adage ‘two Heads are better than one’ has been around for centuries, more effective problem solving happens when you combine resources in talent, experience, knowledge and passion. Why spend time in isolation as a leader when you can join like-minded leaders and educationalists to collaborate on key issues?
In a Connected Heads group we do things differently, the learning shared is agenda free, trustworthy and confidential. Working in a Connected Heads Group provides not only moral support, it also provides you with your own innovative collective think tank. We use a coaching model to support the effectiveness of these sessions so as well as experiencing the power of coaching, utilising the knowledge and experience of others you also develop effective questioning techniques and improved listening skills.
