Strategic consultancy

Dennis does a brilliant job of combining a coach's approach to communication - a strong and generous ethos of service building partnership, powerful listening, persistent and laser-sharp curiosity which facilitates acute awareness of self, others and environment - with the consultant's expertise in solution. Dennis is a master of strategy: this is always his primary focus and concern, balancing with great sensitivity and determination long-term goals alongside what is possible in the short-term.

Diversity and Inclusion Training

“Dennis and his team designed and delivered a brilliant session on conscious coaching to our group of volunteer coaches who support our trainee teachers. Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds across the corporate sector and the session received excellent feedback and has led to us looking to expand the session for next year.

 We worked closely with Dennis and his team to create a session which was bespoke to our needs and requirements. They provided invaluable insights and direction thanks to the combination of their breadth of experience in both diversity and inclusion and the education sector. I would highly recommend their work and look forward to working with them in the future.”

"Dennis has that rare blend of high level thought leadership combined with experience and pragmatism. His insights have helped us improve our targeted support for some of our most vulnerable students.

“I can thoroughly recommend working with Dennis on any aspect of school development and operations."

Katie Roberts - Headteacher, Da Vinci Academy, Derby.

Secondary School Support

“We felt that the strengths, areas for development and recommendations that Dennis put forward were extremely useful and are an accurate reflection of the school. Dennis’ findings and recommendations have given the team a clear framework for development. Dennis’ experience as a Headteacher is invaluable in asking the right questions and his experience in working with vulnerable students meant that he was able to empathise with the challenges that staff have faced and offer sound advice."
