Scalable Relational Coaching for Schools

Executive coaching has traditionally been reserved for senior leaders because of cost. By combining the Functional Fluency relational framework with the agile, bite-sized delivery of Coaching on the Go, we can bring high-impact coaching to your whole leadership team — or your entire staff body — through real-time prompts, 5–10 minute micro-coaching loops, and structured peer triads that fit around the school day.

What Staff Get

  • Baseline TIFF profile – self-awareness of the 9 behavioural modes, run at INSET.

  • Gizmo + COTG Skills Report – benchmarks 15 coaching behaviours against peers.

  • Micro-coaching tools – on-the-spot prompts for classroom and staffroom moments.

  • Peer-triad coaching – structured frameworks for staff to coach one another.

Why It Works

  • Reduced stress & absence – shifting staff from reactive “firefighting” to balanced, structured leadership.

  • Calmer classrooms – the “Power of the Pause” de-escalates disruption without lost learning time.

  • Higher retention – a psychologically safe, supported staff culture improves morale and loyalty.

  • Stronger parent partnerships – a shared relational language diffuses difficult meetings.

Two Ways to Engage
 

Option 1 — Leadership Alignment

Senior & middle leaders

Moves leadership culture from firefighting to structured, empowered delegation — TIFF and Gizmo profiling for all leaders, plus ongoing micro-coaching check-ins.

​

Option 2 — Whole-School Culture

All teaching staff

Establishes a whole-school relational operating system — whole-staff launch, peer-triad rollout, and optional embedding into pastoral/PSHE lessons.

Evidencing Impact & ROI

We help you evidence impact for governors and inspectors across three levels:

financial (reduced supply cover and recruitment spend), operational (time regained in meetings and de-escalation), and evaluative — a 12-month re-TIFF comparison against Guskey’s framework, correlated with referral, attendance and pupil wellbeing data.
