The WHO

Aubrey Curran helps you build capacity in your school and teachers

I want to help talented and ambitious educators live impactful professional lives. I live to cause growth: whether in students in the classroom, in adults in your schools or my own personal growth.

With 20+ years in international schools across four countries and over a 100 school visits world-wide as consultant, workshop leader or trainer of workshop leaders, I have learned how to get the most out of talented educators.

That is why educators like you ask for my services. And because I have been a Head of School, Principal, Curriculum Coordinator and Teacher at international schools in East Asia, the Caribbean and Holland.

Workshop coaching for teachers

All my learning opportunities prepare leaders for the responsibility of creating conditions in their schools that foster an equitable and inclusive learning and working community.

The WHY

Building capacity in myself and others is what I love.

International-mindedness is the lens through which I act.

An equitable and inclusive learning community is my desired outcome.

Providing opportunities that facilitate change and support DEI strategy is my hope.

I am aware I need to continue to work on equity and justice across many lines of difference.

The HOW

Capacity Building for enduring transformation

I provide world class professional development to ambitious educators and high-potential school leaders across the globe. These Workshops and Private Trainings are offered both online and face2face and provide participants with persuasive, compelling guidance to help spark growth in themselves, in their schools as well as help develop leadership effectiveness.

I believe:

Yes, your school culture can change and transformational leadership is a skill that can be practised and improved.

Explore the systems that underpin organisational health and drive positive school cultures, while internalising how to give powerful, authoritative guidance as you lead your colleagues. You start to recognise the patterns of behaviour that either support or undermine the development of a healthy school culture.

You will end up with actionable recommendations in critical areas to improve and maintain a positive culture in your school.

You can be an expert leader of in-house professional learning and an inviting facilitator of enjoyable, consultative school meetings.

When school leaders ‘find their voice’ and start to know how to entice school staff into a ‘meeting of the minds’, with confidence, only then do they increase their long term effectiveness. Explore the elements of successful facilitation that enable you to navigate the emotions of your staff as well as influence the power dynamics in your school and boost communication and trust between adults.

You will continuously receive actionable, personalised feedback paving the way for your ongoing success as you engage your staff in support of your ambition.

Great leadership does not have a universal formula. Your effectiveness can increase through personalised coaching and reflection.

Explore your core leadership competencies that underpin your whole self, in all its complexity, as we analyse your individualised 360° Leadership Effectiveness Analysis™ and discover new opportunities for growth. This revealing assessment provides school leaders with feedback from your boss(es), peers, and direct-reports, contextualising behaviours, illuminating gaps between perception and reality, and leading to deep self-awareness.

You will be empowered to chart your path to success with a coaching program that respects your individuality, fosters self-awareness and inspires growth that will support organisational success.
