About
The person behind the practice.
Grow Wise is small and senior on purpose. The person you meet is the person who does the work.
The work
In the room, not just on the slide.
Krista is a practising coach, not a distant adviser. The same person who designs the work sits one to one with the people carrying the weight, trains other staff to coach and has led students in the field on expedition. Real time in schools and real time in the hills.
Three strands
What Krista does.
Coaching leaders
Executive and supervision coaching for the people who run schools, across a wide range of institutions.
Training coaches
Teaching other staff and educators to coach, so good practice spreads far beyond any one programme.
Leading outdoors
Time as a trip leader on school expeditions, in the mountains with students, alongside the operators who run the logistics.
The founder
Experience that is hard to find in one person.
More than ten years leading education in two of the world's most demanding international school markets, with the formal coaching accreditations most consultancies cannot claim.
- Executive and supervision coach, accredited with the ICF and the ILM.
- Over ten years leading education across the UK, Singapore and the UAE.
- Close to the international Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Exact role and wording confirmed before launch.
- Based in Dubai, working with schools across the Gulf.
The reach
The same person, whatever the setting.
The work runs across international schools, DofE networks and education organisations around the region, from coaching a single leader to helping a whole school change how it talks. Different settings, the same standard, the same person behind every piece of it.
