Meet Cazzie Jude
I am a strategic and forward-thinking, qualified executive leadership coach and mentor with the Institute of Leadership and Management, as well as an educational leader. I specialise in coaching female leaders and supporting them in identifying any behaviours and personal qualities that will help them achieve their goals, whilst addressing any barriers that may be hindering their progression. Through coaching, I empower women to be ambitious, confident, and successful leaders.
My Experience
My Coaching Style
I believe that strong relationships, which are built on mutual respect and trust, are key to successful coaching, therefore I work with absolute integrity and honesty to create a climate of trust and respect. Valuing emotional intelligence and empowerment, I encourage the coachee to take control of the sessions by being reflective, honest and open-minded in finding solutions. My deep listening skills and use of probing questions will further support the coachee to be the best they can be.
My Professional Background
With over 20 years of leadership experience, I am recognised as an outstanding leader in the UK and the Middle East. I have led early years schools, primary schools and through schools. I have worked as an education consultant supporting and training leadership teams in a variety of countries and settings. I am a transparent, values-driven leader, known for empowering, developing, and inspiring individuals and teams. I actively promote continuous professional and self-development and believe we are all lifelong learners. I am highly experienced in navigating culturally diverse environments and promoting a culture of respect and trust. I have strong communication and interpersonal skills and use these to establish, cultivate and maintain effective relationships with all. I am an expert in early years education, developing leadership teams and creating a positive, caring, supportive, fun, culture and climate at work.
I set up Cassiopeia Coaching as I wanted to put something back into society and specifically to empower female leaders. I support other women to give them the strength and skills to survive in the competitive workplace. I have learnt that you need the strength of character, resilience determination and a very strong support network both professionally and personally to flourish. I work with others to be the best they can be. I coach and mentor women in education and industry to be successful leaders both in the UK and internationally. Further to this, I work as a trainer, public speaker, writer and consultant on school improvement. I am also an associate coach and leadership consultant for LSC Education
