About Joy
Joy was a Primary school teacher and headteacher based in various Hampshire schools. With a particular appetite for working in challenging situations she mainly led schools with high levels of deprivation and really enjoyed working closely with those communities to improve outcomes and experiences for pupils.
As a leader Joy believes that empowering others and growing talent is the strongest way to lead. Using coaching as a preferred tool for improvement, everybody in any organisation should not only feel strong, but should know how to get even stronger – and love doing their job! She believes that wellbeing should be at the heart of an organisation and that looking after people is everybody's job.
