I received my Honours Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics and Education and went on to receive my Master's Degree in Literature. As a school Head Teacher, I have successfully led my school to Outstanding Status. I have been working in the education sector for almost 30 years.
I have been a Head Teacher of an inner city Primary School in London, an Ofsted Inspector and a local authority school improvement partner. I have extensive experience in leading teams and coaching them to their best outcomes using mindfulness and well-being strategies.
I enjoy running and reading and have trodden the boards once as an actor. My favourite weekend activity is going to the cinema, running in the park and cooking for others. I enjoy exploring how people can be most productive when they are mindful and reflective. -I look forward to working with you- tom@greenlight.international
I offer a complimentary one-hour service to go over what the organisation might need to improve its staff well-being. After this initial consultation, mindfulness and well-being workshops are tailored to the specific requirements of the staff.
This CPD package consists of five 90-minute workshops that can be delivered over time or tailored to half or full days.
The aim of all the sessions is to:
a. Learn about mindfulness and its impact on work life balance.
b. Work in groups to explore common themes of stress, conflicts and coping strategies.
c. Watch topical inspirational videos and discuss the messages.
d. Practise some questioning techniques that can inspire deeper thinking.
e. Learn how the mind works in stressful situations and what strategies we can use to control impulsive and conditioned behaviour.
f. Role play scenarios and discuss possible outcomes.
g. Learn how to meditate- All sessions end with a guided meditation session which extends over time.
I offer a personalised service that includes 1:1 mindfulness and well-being coaching open to staff at all levels including CEOs and Leaders of organisations that wish to improve their work/life balance.
It was one of the most powerful set of workshops we have ever had. Tom is brilliant at creating a positive space for staff to reflect on how they are investing in their wellbeing and we were given practical strategies to apply in our own time. Well worth it!
Tom's workshops were hugely beneficial for all involved. Staff were given the opportunity to learn about mindfulness and how the brain works. They were also given valuable strategies to use in order to enhance their personal and working lives. Staff reported feeling uplifted and optimistic as a result of this CPD.
Thank you for leading us in this powerful journey of self-reflection. I was very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed all the material I was given.
