Aspirance Leadership Services

It was a pleasure to work with Aspirance on two key appointments for Downe House, our Chaplain and Business Development Director. In both cases, they took the time to get to know the School, to understand our needs and were efficient, professional and most importantly successful in enabling us to make two excellent appointments.

Andrew Trotman from Aspirance was engaged to provide a 360 degree appraisal of the Head of College involving all key stakeholders. This proved to be a thorough, positive and very professional experience which has been a great help in driving forward our next phase of development in leadership. The process has been aided by the coaching sessions which followed on from the appraisal which has helped to embed the changes and enhancements we have been looking for.

Aspirance recently conducted 360 degree appraisals for me my SLT.  Having been through similar processes before, I have to say this was by far the most impressive, thorough and professional. Andrew Trotman’s approach was sensitive and supportive but he also drilled down to our key developmental issues and then offered us helpful advice on how to address them.  I would recommend Aspirance highly to others.

Aspirance were excellent, taking the time to get to know the Academy to find out exactly what we needed in our Executive Director of Music role.  Although the search was never going to be an easy one, they worked hard, with their network of contacts, to find a candidate who matched all the criteria in our brief. The whole process was well organised and we were very appreciative of the help and advice given by them throughout the process. We couldn't have been more pleased with the final outcome.

The service provided by Aspirance to the School was excellent and we were delighted that we were in a position to interview such a high calibre of candidates. Mr Trotman took time to engage with the School Governors, Senior Management Team and key members of staff to gain a greater insight into the culture of the School which assisted with ensuring the short-listed candidates all met the person specification. We would have no hesitation in using their services in the future.
