As a qualified coach in both ‘Personal Performance’ and ‘Coaching in Education’, and a teacher and lecturer with over 33-years-teaching experience, I am able to guide and support teachers and other educators towards their professional development.
I use a number of tools to get you the best results including NLP, Goal Mapping, DISC Personality Profiling for children/students and DISC Personality Profiling for adults.
But you are in the driving seat and you will choose what works best for you.

“We thank you warmly for your willingness to deliver two, five-hour each, workshops on “Good practices for the empowerment of the teachers and the improvement of relationships within the classroom”, which took place at the Secondary School of Agia Paraskevi in Athens.
The workshops were co-organized by various educational bodies and it was attended by more than 130 school teachers. You excellently covered the theoretical framework of coaching and highlighted its benefits to the teachers and students.
The choice of topics (‘Communication and development of the teachers’ communication skills’; ‘Self-awareness’; and ‘Goal Setting’) was highly apt and met the expectations of the participating teachers, who attended with great attention the two workshops. You created a very positive impression with the presentation of a number of useful activities and tools that the participants can use in their daily educational process.
The organizing committee warmly thanks you for your excellent presentation and your great contribution to the success of the workshops. We hope to have the ability to work with you at further training events.”
