Consulting Services

Consulting at Guide and Lead

Our core competence centers around learning and education. All our work is linked to our passionate belief that lifelong, self-led learning is a driver for sustainable transformation. Our consultancy offers development and growth based on our Guide and Lead root concepts.

Self- leadership

Empowering individuals to lead themselves in an organisation is part of an often urgently needed culture shift and also offers new dynamics. Here we also use our coaching techniques, which help to drive this change forward.

Transformation

Our consulting offers more than just improvements. Our aim is to offer changes that reach far below the surface by developing the core traits and achieving lasting changes.

Agility

Consulting towards an agile style of project management and agile organization of teams  offers the potential to achieve better results, respond to challenges and promote the well-being of the employees.

Compassionate Communication

Communicating measures, visions and goals in a way that recognizes the needs of all members of an organization ensures their cohesion under a common set of values and is obviously important for any transformation of an organization.

What education providers can expect from us?

a holistic and systemic approach towards your projects

get in touch with us

We understand that education management is confronted by many challenges that need to be answered, and competing expectations that need to be met – be they from shareholders, boards, authorities, parents, learners or society. For us, the first step is to determine where you are coming from: What is your understanding of education or that of your school board or shareholders? What do you want to achieve? What are your requirements and how do you wish these to be delivered?

Everyone needs to be involved, from learners (and their families) and teachers, to administration and service staff. Real change can only happen if the whole of an organizational system is targeted and everyone takes part in this movement.

a passion for teaching and learning

We believe that education is a clear invitation to personal development and self-improvement; therefore is an inherently collaborative process. While learning may take place alone, education necessarily involves an exchange. It hinges on a relationship between the inviter (the mentor, teacher, coach, facilitator) and the invitee.

With so much noise and speed distorting the education process and system, this reality has come to be concealed. A demotivated teacher will not be able to deliver even the best curriculum. A disconnected manager will not be able to inspire. An unhappy student will not be responsive to even the best facilities.

We offer you both our management and counseling skills to engage everyone in your educational institution in order to create an atmosphere where transformative change, process and growth is measurable on a daily base.

Guide and Lead offers you complete solutions, tailored to the needs of your organization.

We can support you at any stage; from the set-up of a new project or at any point along the way.

All services can be provided in English, German and Arabic. Other languages may be available at request.
