The Truth Is...

You don’t need a new title.
You don’t need to wait for someone to notice you.
You just need clarity, action, and a plan that works.

Teachers who’ve worked with me have turned uncertainty into action - and action into recognition.

“Conversations with James helped me take ownership of my expertise and carve out a career path that will enable me to flourish.”
- Sally, Head of Geography“James gave me the encouragement I needed to take action. Starting has always been the hardest part.”
- Ali, Head of Year 9 (now Head of PSHE)“It’s not about having it perfect - it’s about starting small. I’ve got a plan, and I’m going bigger.”
- Vlad, Business & Economics Teacher

This is the first step to leadership that’s built on purpose - not expectation.

No title needed. No burnout required.
Just five short lessons to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

PS - This isn’t about doing more work. It’s about making your existing impact visible.
