Foundations of Team
Team Coaching with a clear VMV and strategy are crucial for any team’s long-term alignment and direction. The optional two-day “Foundations of Team” workshop helps teams develop their VMV and strategy, using processes like SWOT, PEST analysis, and Jim Collins’ Hedgehog Concept to enhance performance and cohesion.

'[Backdrop] was understanding of the context of the schools and challenges we face. The process was solution focused, non judgmental and passionate about showing our strengths and looking for areas to improve. The whole day allowed me and colleagues to spend time focusing on attendance. I feel a lot more ready to discuss our data and strategy moving forward.'

Jon...has enabled me to be more strategic...and become confident in my abilities to bring about lasting change ... The sessions were welcoming, relaxed and flexible in 'fitting' with my emotions on the day.'
- Coachee - Leader
"As with any "audit" type process there is anxiety and trepidation. Can I go on line as saying any concerns I had were diminished immediately by the warm, disarming nature of [Backdrop]. I found the whole experience enlightening and informative and certainly backed my mantra of "everyday is a school day". Many thanks"
- Assistant Headteacher, Secondary
'Our day with [Backdrop] was very useful and has left us with a clear plan regarding our next steps. [Their]work has underpinned much of our recent self-evaluation but added an expert view on how to move things forward. Advice and strategies shared to date have been very useful and [Backdrop] was supportive and thought provoking throughout his visit. We very much look forward to the opportunity to work with [Backdrop] in the future.'
