People shape swim schools. Every person working in a swim school deserves the support to be the best they can be. Every swim school needs its people to be highly capable, engaged and contributing to its growth plans. As is so often proven, continuous learning is intrinsically linked with business success. 

Too often I see swim school people, both teams and individuals, who strive to grow but lack the right framework or tools to achieve their ambitions.

I offer a range of services to support people — including leadership development and team capability and PD sessions for owners, leaders, front of house, teachers and support people, as well as one-on-one mentorship for individuals.

For leaders of all levels

Leadership roles and responsibilities are different. In these roles people need the right attention and support to ensure high impact performance and progress on their chosen career pathway and building successful high performing teams. I work with individuals or small groups to lift the leadership and management competencies in your swim school, assessing their abilities to:

• Build relationships

• Develop people

• Drive change

• Inspire others

• Think critically

• Communicate clearly

• Create accountability

For teams

Investing in people development builds a more skilled, engaged, and motivated team to help them succeed and for businesses to thrive.  I create unique competitive advantages for swim schools by tailoring team development initiatives for optimal productivity, shaping new ways of teams working together.

I work with swim schools and their people to:

• Assess, identify and rectify the key reasons why learning and development isn’t progressing well

• Review existing training assets, identifying and filling gaps while facilitating easy access to resources for teams to embrace continuous learning and performance improvement

• Assist with the creation of a library of training resources to accelerate the transfer of knowledge and knowledge sharing

• Team building and training sessions for getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right time

Mentorship for individuals

I believe mentorship significantly improves the career outcomes for people, helping them to realise their talents, abilities and motivations. It also lifts people’s workplace engagement and hence realise their own potential within it.

I want others to succeed in our swim school world. I support others to learn, to think more clearly and to identify gaps in skills that can be developed. I offer a safe and confidential environment to discuss a whole range of issues, opportunities and aspirations to help individuals to challenge assumptions and normal ways of operating to inspire passion for growth and self-improvement.
