Coaching for Schools: Finding purpose while on furlough

As a CSR initiative in these challenging times, Lane4 have been delivering ‘pro bono’ leadership development to an often overlooked group of key workers: school leadership teams. The pressure and demands on school leaders are incredibly high right now. Managing the anxieties of pupils, parents and staff is a real challenge. It has been our privilege to work alongside a range of schools, academies and trusts to help them be the best leaders possible in the current context.

In this blog series, three of our consultants explore the lessons, insight and appreciation they have taken from these partnerships. In this blog, Senior Consultant Andrew Gillespie writes about how coaching these leaders has helped him to find a purpose while on furlough leave.
