What our members say.

Hundreds of educators can't be wrong

Before starting AH, I knew the kind of leader I wanted to be but needed to be able to articulate that vision with clarity and confidence. I have been encouraged to take practical steps towards achieving my goals and feel empowered. AH has really shaped who I am today, given me the tools and confidence to delve deeper into key aspects of leadership and take control of my own personal growth.

Truly transformative programme that equipped me with practical strategies to work towards career progression. Nadine and the guest speakers evoked renewed confidence on me and built my knowledge of the skills and competencies required to achieve headship. I was pushed out my comfort zone, supported and encouraged to take proactive steps upwards. I have developed a network of educators and began creating mentoring relationships. It has been an empowering experience.

I met Nadine when she was at the start of her Headship career through some shared networks. She shared her journey to becoming a young Headtecher and a parent sharing her authentic self and modelling her values – her story resonated with many in the room.

I later visited her at her primary school and witnessed first hand her vision for a child-centred education for her community. We have stayed in touch and our paths have crossed at various events, I have enjoyed following her journey as a school leader as she leads with her heart and invests her passion in lifting others, children and colleagues.

She is a visible role model for women, for BAME, for parents and for leaders who bring their whole self to their role, she leads within and outside of here organisation. I recommend her as an educational leader, a coach, a mentor and a public speaker.

Hannah Wilson

Leadership and Development Consultant

Nadine is a leader of great skill and integrity. Her passion and commitment to every young person is quite remarkable. She connects and motivates both students in staff by appealing to their very best nature and bringing that out of themselves. I have enormous admiration and respect for Nadine and always leave every interaction with her feeling inspired.

Liz Robinson

Co-Director, Big Education

Nadine has strong values and is completely committed to fairness and equality of opportunity. Her understanding of equalities is sophisticated, and it drives all she does. Nadine is an excellent team member, she is always willing to go the extra mile and she makes important contributions to decision making which moves a project forward. Nadine is a kind and decent person; she is reliable and hardworking. Her commitment to family life is reflected in her strong values and she walks those values every day.

Robin Bosher

CEO of R and A Bosher Education Consultant

Nadine quickly built up a rapport with me. I felt heard and understood. She has a unique way of pointing out your truth and bringing clarity to the fore. Her questioning skills punctuated my thoughts at the right time and pushed me to reflect on my thoughts. Nadine brought structure to my thoughts and drew me to set meaningful and tangible goals. Throughout she was supportive and when asked, provided mentorship. The difference between coaching and mentoring was exceptionally clear and each were applied at just the right time. I cannot recommend Nadine enough and can’t wait for another insightful session.
