The Acting Head offers middle and senior leaders the chance to develop their presentation and communication skills through lively, confidence-boosting workshops. Designed for those in education, these sessions blend professionalism with creativity to help leaders speak with clarity, authenticity and impact. Through engaging activities in speechwriting, public speaking and digital storytelling, participants learn to craft messages that resonate and present with confidence in any setting.
Faith’s work is rooted in warmth, humour and genuine connection, creating a safe space for leaders to build self-esteem and silence the imposter syndrome that often creeps into school leadership. Her approach leaves participants feeling empowered, uplifted and ready to communicate with confidence and joy.
Group or one-to-one sessions delivered in person in a suitable space in your school. Online sessions are also possible, depending on the scope of the work.
Clear, authentic and impactful written or spoken communication is key in school leadership. This programme, usually offered as a course of three sessions, guides participants through a variety of techniques to support them in effectively reaching their audience through the written word. The programme can also be offered as a one off session, focusing on a specific piece of writing, such as an open event speech or school video script.
Confidence in public speaking comes naturally to some, but for others is very much out of our comfort zone. As an experienced actor, teacher and senior leader, Faith facilitates sessions which build confidence and equip leaders with key physical and vocal skills, to help improve their ability to reach an audience of staff, pupils or parents. Video is used to assist with the learning and to monitor progress. Not as scary as it sounds! Sessions can be offered as a course of three or a more bespoke programme designed dependent on need.
Video and podcast are very much part of the fabric of marketing and communications in the schools sector. But fear not, Faith brings her experience as an actor and drama practitioner to helping school leaders relax and remove the mask. The real focus here is on working towards presenting an authentic version of ourselves on screen or in an audio recording.
I had two brilliant workshops with Faith. Across both of them, we worked on a range of different techniques to help with my delivery of a presentation and broader public speaking skills. Faith was great at advising on all manner of presentation skills and I have already found my confidence has grown.
