#CoachingAcrossBorders 🇹🇷
In Istanbul, conversations centred on equity, voice & listening.
Whose voices are heard?
Who shapes decisions?
Coaching creates space for deeper dialogue. Where might we need to listen more carefully?

In Nanjing, coaching came back to something simple: human-first conversations - more listening & thinking together. Across contexts, connection matters. How do we create spaces where people feel safe to think?

In Denmark, inclusion felt embedded — not an add-on. Belonging, trust & shared responsibility shape everyday practice. These conditions enable agency.
Are our systems truly supporting belonging — or creating barriers?

Originally alongside my book launch, this journey connected coaching, inclusion & education across contexts. So much still resonates — relationships, culture, belonging. I will be resharing blogs with fresh reflections

Now more than ever, we need to build coaching cultures in schools — strengthening relationships, wellbeing & space for thinking.
A year on from A Teacher’s Guide to Coaching, I’m reflecting on the impact of these small, intentional shifts.

Sharing research on autistic & dyslexic women transitioning to tertiary education. At transition: expectations of independence increase while support becomes less visible. Are we preparing students for transition — or for what they’re arriving into?

Ableism in schools isn’t always explicit. It often sits in systems, and everyday practices — shaping who is included. In my latest blog, I explore how schools can move beyond accommodation to create truly inclusive environments.

Sometimes inclusion isn’t about adding more support — it’s about clarity. Clear expectations, communication, and processes reduce cognitive load and uncertainty.
Where could greater clarity create more inclusion in your context?

Agency doesn’t emerge in isolation.
It grows where there is trust, clarity, connection, and opportunity to contribute. Without these, even capable people can feel constrained.
What in your environment enables — or limits — agency?

Inclusion has changed how I think about listening. Not just to what is said — but what isn’t. Who hesitates? Who stays silent?
Silence isn’t always disengagement — sometimes it’s a signal of safety.
Whose voices are missing?

Inclusion can sit with a few people — however that isn’t sustainable.
It shifts when it becomes shared.
In language. In decisions. In expectations.
That’s when it becomes culture.
Where is inclusion currently held in your organisation?

The Promise That Changes Everything — Nancy Kline
A powerful reminder that when we interrupt people, we interrupt their thinking.
Sometimes the most important thing we can do is create the conditions for others to think well.
“I won’t interrupt you.”
Inclusion is also about predictability.
Knowing what’s happening, what’s expected, and how systems work reduces cognitive load and anxiety. Clear systems often create more inclusion than extra interventions.
How predictable are your systems?

The Power of Neurodiversity argues that schools and workplaces should focus on strengths rather than deficits. A thoughtful book for educators and leaders reflecting on how environments can be designed to support different ways of thinking and learning.
Inclusive leadership is often about everyday behaviours — how leaders listen, explain decisions, handle mistakes, and invite people into conversations. Culture is shaped by daily leadership behaviours.
What leadership behaviours create inclusion where you work?
Belonging Before Confidence
We often try to build confidence first, but confidence usually grows after belonging. When people feel understood, respected, and safe to contribute, confidence often follows.
What helps people feel they belong in your organisation?
#Belonging
Every organisation has a hidden curriculum — unwritten rules, communication styles, how decisions are really made. For many neurodivergent people, this is harder than the job itself. Inclusive organisations make the hidden curriculum visible.
What are the unwritten rules where you work?
I'm very grateful for this wonderful feedback on A Teacher's Guide to Coaching from a coach and leader in education. Thank you to everyone who has been reading, sharing, and integrating coaching into your classrooms and school communities.

Yesterday I was very grateful to present my PhD research at the Scottish Government Education Research Seminar Series on neurodivergent young people, transitions and flourishing.
This research exists because of the young people, families and educators who shared their experiences.

Inclusion is all about system design. Communication, expectations, environments, relationships, leadership. When systems change, inclusion becomes everyday practice.
What would inclusion look like if it were designed into every system?
