Our workshops move beyond standard management theory to address the real-world challenges of leading schools. We offer immersive experiences that challenge leaders to refine their coaching stance, build high-trust teams and master the emotional agility needed to drive sustainable change. Participants leave with more than just concepts; they leave with the practical frameworks to hold courageous conversations and lead with confidence.

What our clients say
I have really enjoyed working with the Education Group because they are very adaptable to different environments, challenges, and the current climate in the education sector within New Zealand. With Julie we are focused on setting the vision of what the team want to be, which is a highly effective leadership team. Our SLT of 17 work with Julie to set the new strategic plan for the upcoming 3 years. It is a fantastic process.
