About me
Meet Liz, founder of Motivated Leadership.
I created Motivated Leadership because I know how demanding school leadership can be.
After more than 30 years in education, 20 of these in school leadership leading teams, supporting staff, and navigating the pressures highlighted in the NAHT 2025 wellbeing survey I saw how many leaders needed a safe, confidential space to think, breathe, and grow. I include myself in this and benefitted from my governors investing in mine and my leaders wellbeing by providing access to quality coaching.
As a Level 5 qualified professional coach, I specialise in supporting leaders at all levels including those who are stepping into new roles before they’ve had the chance to complete NPQ qualifications. My coaching is calm, structured, and grounded in real experience of what leadership feels like day to day.
My Approach
Safe & Confidential — A protected space for honest conversations.
Wellbeing First — Leadership is sustainable only when wellbeing is supported.
