We all want children and young people to succeed. Education leaders play a critical role in setting the culture and empowering teachers to do their best work.
Education leaders tell us they find the soft leadership skills hard – engaging their team, having difficult conversations, leading change and staying resilient. This is why BTS Spark was founded – to support education leaders with the human side of leadership.

Coaching is critically important to every educator at every level. The opportunity to have a thought partner and counterpart in improving our practices is invaluable. Through coaching we build confidence to execute in the most difficult aspects of our roles. Every educator and every leader benefits from coaching relationships.

My coach was amazing! She was always ready and excited to support, brainstorm, and practice new skills and strategies during each of our sessions. Her ability to have a caring yet constructive coaching was just what I needed as we closed out the school year and started to plan for the fall.

Assistant Principal, WA, USA
We partnered this year with BTS Spark to offer individual coaching to our school principals and vice principals. It's been extremely well received and just that feedback that we get from our principals and vice principals about having someone external, someone who creates a safe, caring place to work with them, from wherever they are, in terms of what is most important on their mind and how to support them to their work, It's just been fabulous.

What I love about coaching is that I own the process, so I've always been a big believer in. Owning my professional development and trying to guide it in a way that makes sense in the big picture.

I'm entering my 31st year in education and my 12th year in senior leadership. A career in education is very rewarding, but at the same time it can be very challenging. Working one on one with an executive coach is something I highly recommend to others in senior leadership.
