About Us

At Your Guides on the Side, we believe that educational leadership should never feel like a solo journey.

We offer personalised, relationship-based coaching and mentoring for teachers, middle leaders, and principals—grounded in trust, collaboration, and genuine care. Whether you’re stepping into a new role or navigating a complex challenge, we’re here to walk with you, not ahead of you.

Make It

Our mission

To walk alongside educators and leaders—offering empowering, practical support that builds confidence, clarity, and well-being.
We help educators lead with courage and purpose, so they can create more equitable and impactful learning communities.

    We build strong, respectful partnerships where support is grounded in listening, empathy, and mutual growth.

  • Equity and Inclusion

    We champion diverse voices and strive for a fairer education system. Our mentoring is inclusive, culturally responsive, and tailored to local contexts.

  • Guidance, Not Direction

    We don’t tell you what to do—we help you discover what works for you. You lead; we guide..

  • Voice and Agency

    Your perspective matters. We empower you to lead authentically and speak with confidence.

  • Well-being matters

    Leadership is demanding. We prioritise emotional health and sustainable practices so you can enjoy your role —not just survive it.
