Testimonials
"Functional Fluency and TIFF have been very positive for my school, enabling me and my colleagues to grow as teachers, leaders and people. It has clarified what I feel, helped me to see the bigger picture and given me things to work on but it has also helped me to have belief and certainty in my "
" approach. As a result, I am going to try and stop taking things too personally and, instead, provide good structure to help colleagues solve their own problems."
"Steve’s coaching was superb. He used a range of techniques as well as intuitive chats to help me explore how I could create the books I want to and to get them into the hands of people who might read – and buy – them. I have come away with a new focus and a new way of structuring my days and weeks and months. Simple things that have had a massive impact. As a slight cynic about coaching, I was delighted with the outcome and the process."
