"Be the change you want to see in the world"


Our Values: F.M.C.G.

Have Fun

Business life is hard enough. Whilst we strive to accommodate many diverse styles, we choose to engage with people who we genuinely like and are fun to work with.
 

Make Money

We help our clients increase real commercial value through focus on doing the right things with the right values rather than making money their sole objective.
 

Create Change

We aim to change people’s lives as well as the organisations they work for with a range of transformational tools which liberate creativity and effectiveness.
 

Do Good

We promise to be ethical and fair in all our dealings and put back into the local and wider community in time and money through our own charitable foundation.
 


 

Life & Leadership Skills for Education Professionals

 
Leadership within education is a specialist field.

So much more is expected from School, Department and Subject Heads these days and the skills required to manage, motivate and efficiently lead your team are not always naturally acquired in the course of your career.

That's where Portland can help.

Our friendly, experienced team of coaches can help you in all areas of personal and professional development, including:

  • Coaching & Mentoring
  • Continuing Professional Development
  • Leadership Coaching
  • Life Coaching
  • Performance Coaching

With a range of flexible solutions, from one-to-one sessions to tailored group programmes, you can access the training, support and encouragement you need to move your organisation, department or team forward.

Our specialist team of coaches has specific experience within education and can bring many years' valuable Public and Private Sector expertise to your programme. Using proven techniques, employed by many of the world's most successful leaders, delivered through a comprehensive range of blended-learning based programmes, you are guaranteed an effective and accessible solution for your organisation.

 

Meet the Team

As with any personal or professional development, the ultimate results are directly related to the skills, experience and personality of the people involved - both coach and candidate. It is therefore important to engage professionals you trust and like, who have the knowledge and expertise to provide genuine help and deliver real benefits.

We'd like to introduce you to our specialist Education team.
