Aspirance Leadership Services

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.

Whether working with an individual member of staff or with a team, the Aspirance approach is not to tell you what to do but to ask questions which promote the deep reflection on practice and relationships and, if you allow it, the emotions of school life, which we so often ignore but which are essential if we are to lead cultural and personal change in ourselves and our schools.

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.

Andrew and Stephen provided an excellent bespoke service to me and my re-formed Executive Team, enabling us to start the new academic year with a real bang. Detailed advance planning and consultation, effective delivery on the day -  including some artful, thought-provoking exercises  - meant that all participants felt the day was extremely useful. There was generous post-event follow-up too. Overall: an excellent way to help develop the effectiveness of your executive team.

The Aspirance team possesses considerable experience, shrewd judgement and high integrity.
