'"Sharon was a pleasure to work with.  She created an environment where I felt comfortable to discuss my aims, successes and failings in a non-judgemental manner.  Sharon is not an academic philosopher who will fill you up with rhetoric and leave you scratching your head.  Instead you feel confident that Sharon is someone who has been there, done and worn the t-shirt.  I felt totally confident in her methods and worked collaboratively in producing a vision and development plan for my department that has now been seen by SLT and approved.  I would definitely recommend." Head of Maths - Coaching Package
