Catherine Clayton
COACH | TRAINER | FACILITATOR
I specialise in coaching leaders and teams who are having an impact on children’s lives. My aim is to improve team performance, sense of purpose and impact so the best outcomes are reached for young people. Why?
Because children deserve adults and leaders working and living from the best version of themselves.
I do this as an accredited Executive Coach, with a background as a senior leader in education and as CEO of a charity working with children in schools. I offer 1:1 coaching, team communication training and reflective interactive walking journeys.
In every bespoke training programme I develop, I weave into it the use of stillness and silence. This is because they lead to increased awareness of how we can be the best version of ourselves for the young people we work alongside, enabling children to thrive.
“Staff wellbeing surveys flagged up that many things causing stress are related to communication. This training was incredibly helpful in helping my team to not only identify their own preferences, but also understand how and why others may communicate differently; making it powerful on both a personal, and a team level. In the busyness of school life, we so rarely have time to stop and reflect. I wanted to be intentional about giving staff time to do this. The Reflective Journey provided this space and allowed everyone to move at their own pace.”
Rebekah Stott - Headteacher SSMJ, Oxford.

Training
Training that creates high performing teams.
Improving communication, self awareness and team dynamics for increased productivity. This in turn leads to increased impact for your vision for children.
Reflective Journeys
Reflective Coaching Journeys combine stillness, movement and sensory exercises.
Drawing from their past, their strengths and their passions these reflective spaces will help you and your team work from their best selves and remain aligned with the vision.
“I have a better understanding of how I work and the best ways to communicate with colleagues. This training does in one day what it takes two years to do getting to know people professionally.”
