“Throughout my career as an educator and Head of School, I have participated in countless workshops, but Dr Holmes presentation on how schools can deliberately enhance their reputation, and drive enrollment stood out as particularly compelling and thought-provoking. We sought his guidance to help rejuvenate our reputation and redefine our strategic plan and future positioning. His methodical and thorough approach using a seven-step process yielded results that were both insightful and actionable. The Board, faculty, and I were deeply impressed by his work, and I am sincerely grateful for the significant and lasting impact he has had on our school.”

“Stephen has the gift of combining business acumen with educational research and a solid dose of common sense. He is articulate, persuasive, creative and highly organised.

Our business association spans over 10 years. Firstly, as a former head of an international school in Singapore, I hired Stephen to talk to current and prospective families about the importance of a school’s reputation. He carefully crafted his presentation to meet the needs of the audience and gave unique and very relevant insights.

Secondly, in my current role as WASC Senior Vice President, International Schools, Stephen has significantly contributed to our WASC member schools’ understanding of marketing, branding, sustaining a positive reputation, and effective and focused strategic planning through participating in our Fireside Chats (webinars). When Stephen is due to speak, our webinars are highly attended, participant engagement is high and participants ask searching and meaningful questions. Although I have been in the educational industry for many years, I always come away from one of his sessions with new ideas and renewed energy !”

“This workshop was insightful, engaging, and highly relevant to my role. The practical strategies and real-life examples provided valuable guidance that I can immediately apply in my institution!”
