“I’ve really enjoyed the variety in the learning approach on the Leadership Development Programme — from role play and games through to quiet reflection and team tasks — which kept the sessions engaging and made the learning easy to connect to real situations.
The session on teaching teams how to use the OODA model was particularly valuable for me personally. I’ve really enjoyed the course overall and have appreciated the relationships built along the way.”

Neil gave a keynote talk to all of our Executive Team and Trust Leaders. He spoke about leadership and was very engaging – leaving us wanting more. The talk has already had an impact. We also bought copies of the leadership book for our leadership team and everyone has really enjoyed reading it & learning from it. We are keen to invite Neil back next year!
Deputy CEO, Bright Futures Educational Trust
The Leadership Development Programme is an excellent course. Full of lots of great content, but also thoroughly enjoyable and led by two enormously lovely guys in Paul & Marcus.

“Spending a day with Neil Jurd was genuinely transformational. It sharpened my sense of purpose as a Headteacher, brought fresh clarity to how I lead, and gave me renewed energy for the future. Colleagues noticed the difference immediately – that sense of clarity, calm and purpose that Neil draws out so naturally.
That’s why I’ve now booked all 21 of our Extended Leadership Team onto Neil’s leadership programme. It’s the perfect blend of inspiration and practicality – designed for schools, rooted in real leadership, and accessible through his excellent online platform. If you’re serious about developing people and culture, start here.”
