Strategies For Success

Designed for educational leaders who want to debrief after a busy month, support themselves and their staff by engaging in professional reflection and improve processes within their school so that they communicate with greater ease, have tricky conversations and support themselves in both their work and home lives. 

What is Strategies For Success?

Strategies for Success is a 10-month Coaching Program - hosted by a Career Coach and Teacher who has learned to reconnect with her life purpose and leave with greater ease. 

How can coaching help me? 

Coaching can help teachers to develop a better work/life balance, deal with stressful situations, build better relationships, overcome barriers and have support when there is nobody to turn to who can understand. 

Here's what Katie had to say about working with me: 

"Before I met Orla, I was overwhelmed by all the paperwork I had to get through at the start of the term. It was daunting and I honestly thought there weren’t enough hours in the week to get it done.

After working with Orla, she helped me break things down into small manageable steps by gaining new insights into how I can change existing behaviour patterns. As a primary school teacher herself, I really felt Orla understood where I was coming from.

Now in a typical week, I feel I can achieve a good work/life balance which was my goal at the start of the coaching. I would highly recommend Orla to stressed-out teachers! Especially those who desire to gain back control of their weekends for themselves and their families. Orla is adorable and extremely empathetic. I thoroughly enjoyed our talks together.". 

What strategies for success might I develop?

In the past, I have successfully helped leaders to 

• do effective interviews
• gain an overall view of their life and the direction that it's going in
• know their values and understand their decision-making style
• pinpoint their personal and professional strengths and use them better
• build better relationships at work and at home
• understand the implications of the value that they bring to schools and build their confidence and self-awareness
• overcome fears and lots more!

If you are a teacher, school leader and/or aspiring school leader who is ready to step up to the next level of your career - then this is the coaching program for you!
