Moving into leadership, deliberately or accidentally. Developing as a leader. Managing in the middle. Leadership CPD. Managing relationships and difficult conversations. Staff motivation and retention. Women and leadership. Boundaries and sustainable leadership.
Making external inspection useful. Moving beyond compliance. Using quality assurance for improvement. Developing a quality culture. Staff involvement in quality assurance. Consistency across organisations. Aligning organisational promises with the learner experience.
Teenagers. Motivation and classroom management. Very young learners, including songs and chants. Inclusive teaching and supporting learners with additional needs. Teacher development and reflective practice.
Free resource
A step-by-step workbook for women who lead, manage and inspire in education.
Instead of starting every AI conversation from scratch, this guide helps you create a dedicated AI project with clear instructions about how you work, what your priorities are, and how you want your assistant to support you. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI tool.
Once set up, your assistant can help you plan your days and weeks, prioritise competing demands, protect time for strategic work, prepare meetings and presentations, manage your workload and safeguard time for rest and recovery.
Free. No catch. Just your email address.
Published work
A practical journal for language teachers. Helps you get organised before, during and after your lessons, encourages reflection on your teaching and keeps your professional goals in focus. Spaces for daily plans, favourite activities, training notes and more.

I write regularly on leadership, management and education for the Modern English Teacher. The articles are behind a subscription, but if you work in ELT it is well worth having access to.
Speaking
I speak regularly at international conferences and professional development events on leadership, management, quality assurance and women in education, alongside teacher development sessions on topics such as working with teenagers, motivation and classroom management, very young learners and inclusive teaching. Recent engagements have included IATEFL, IHWO, the Modern English Teacher and International House conferences across Europe.
If you'd like me to speak at your event or contribute to a conference programme, I'd love to hear from you.
