Quiet Coaching for Bold Leadership

A transformative coaching partnership over three or six months to explore conscious, authentic leadership, and what is important to you personally and professionally, so you can lead through the lens of what truly matters. 

What's included?

  • A 60-minute Pre-Coaching Call 

  • Pre Coaching Questionnaire designed to ensure our coaching respects your context, your role, your values and your voice and helps you identify your goals. 

  • Six, 90-minute coaching conversations, bespoke to you, using a range of tools and techniques. You decide whether these take place over three months or six months. 

  • Fortnightly, 30-minute check-in call to help build momentum around the actions you committed to taking

  • Support between sessions as an accountability partner - contact me either via email or WhatsApp and I will reply within 48 hours (during the working week) 

    And for those unexpected moments that come out of the blue…

  • An additional one-hour coaching conversation, you can book at any point during the contract/ partnership, aimed at helping you unpick an unexpected challenge, because leadership can be unpredictable, and sometimes you need a space to think clearly, reset, and move forward with confidence.

Calm and Thoughtful

“Lynda has such a calm, thoughtful way about her. She makes it really easy to open up about the stuff I’m struggling with and helps me work out the answers for myself. Honestly, I can’t recommend her enough as a coach.”

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.”

- B. KENNEDY

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here's some answers to common questions you may have.

What can I expect from bespoke coaching?

The partnership starts with a conversation to explore what each prospective client wants to achieve. It may be clearly defined goals or perhaps a less tangible feeling of dissonance between the role and the person behind the role. Each partnership is unique; I tailor coaching tools and techniques to best suit each client. There are opportunities to check in along the way, to maintain focus, challenge and progress.

What is Quiet Coaching? 

The coaching industry is a crowded, noisy space. When I founded Making It Happen, it was important for me to show up as my authentic self. So no spin, no hype, no hard sell.  My mission is to make a difference, one powerful coaching partnership at a time. Check out the video at the top of this page.

Is it worth the investment? 

For organisations, investing in coaching strengthens leadership capacity, improves retention, and builds a culture of resilience and trust. Supported leaders make better decisions, inspire their teams, and create the conditions where students and staff thrive. The ripple effect is felt across the whole school.

For individual leaders, coaching accelerates growth, builds confidence, and helps them sustain their energy and wellbeing in demanding roles. It equips them with clarity and strategies to maximise their impact — ensuring their leadership is purposeful, authentic, and student-focused.

Ultimately, coaching is not a luxury but a strategic investment. It ensures that those responsible for shaping the future of international schools are supported to perform at their best, so students can thrive.

How do I fit it in? I'm already maxed out.

Have you ever been up to your eyes in deadlines but taken a moment to step away and returned with a clearer head, more able to focus and as a result been more productive? Executive coaching provides that much needed space, crucially in a neutral environment. As a client, you set the pace. Most clients schedule a 90 minute session monthly, but depending on your goals, context and cadence, you might prefer to meet fortnightly, or to spread the coaching over more than six months. Book a call and we can find out what would work best for you.  

Do you work with individual clients or organisations?

Making It Happen partners with organisations, who sponsor executive coaching for key members of their team or with self-funded clients. We can explore available options on a call.
