Let’s Start with the Why?
Welcome, I’m Lynda Haynes McCartney, also known as The Quiet Coach.
Why do I do this work? Too often, senior and middle leaders in international schools lack the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. I know how rewarding yet relentless leadership can be and how much difference it makes when you have someone in your corner.
That’s why I created Making It Happen: to help leaders maximise their impact, transform students’ lives, and lead authentically, without losing themselves along the way.

Contextual, Cultural & Lived Experience
Your rich contextual, cultural and lived experiences internationally position you uniquely, especially as school leadership evolves and demands more from those in or aspiring to these roles.

Calm, Wisdom & Warmth
Whenever I’ve worked with you it has been both a privilege and a joy. You bring calm, wisdom and warmth to every interaction. Your kindness is genuine, integrity unshakable and your quiet strength has inspired me more than you will ever know.
