What would be the impact if every conversation in your school was a better one? Even just a little bit?

I had the pleasure of chatting with Julie Keyes, a highly experienced educator and coach with more than fifteen years in the field. In 2021, Julie established The Educational Coach. She meticulously handpicked a team of exceptional coaches and educators, and introduced The HELP Method, a transformative model she personally designed and implemented in schools worldwide.

With a background as a senior leader, Julie has steered complex organisations and institutions both in the UK and internationally. She holds professional membership with the Charter College of Teaching and has served as a trustee for a prominent school trust. Julie's contributions include creating and refining a module on parent partnerships for Discovery Education and the National Association Headteachers.

Julie's expertise extends to developing leadership programs for major corporations and law firms, alongside services in education. She passionately advocates for strengths-based coaching, recognising its ability to bolster self-awareness and confidence. Actively engaged in professional communities like the ICF, Julie remains dedicated to continuous learning and advancement in coaching methodologies.

Julie and I discussed:

• What constitutes a high-quality conversation and trends in the coaching industry.
• Key benefits of fostering a coaching culture within education.
• Practical strategies for integrating coaching principles into a school environment.
• Ethical considerations when engaging in coaching relationships in education settings.
• How individuals can strike a balance between investing in their personal growth and focusing on their professional development.
• And much more!

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to create a better future for our life long learners!
