“A fantastic 2-day workshop. Dr Holmes provided a comprehensive and approachable framework to enhance any school’s marketing communications and reputation management process and then next steps. More than just steps, these were practical processes that will improve every school. It has been such a pleasure to meet you this weekend.”

“I would highly recommend this 2 day workshop for school leaders and their Marketing counterparts to strengthen the direction and understanding of the centrality of these topics in school leadership. I thoroughly appreciated the time to stop and think more deeply about these topics and hear sound expertise and advice in such a warm and inclusive environment. Thank you Stephen.”

“To walk away with clear, individualised and strategic ‘to-do’ and ‘to consider’ frameworks for the school community was fantastic. The ‘so what?’ element was also a really valuable touchstone. The workshop was excellent. We covered a wide range of vital areas around identity, marketing, enrolment and communication and Stephen’s expertise in the field was self-evident. The workshop was collaborative, constructive and nicely balanced between theory and positive, practical impact for each individual school.”

“Stephen, thank you for bringing the Board and other community members forward into an engaging two days of creating pathways with much to do for follow up. Good to see the level of engagement and reflection.”

“Kazakhstan International School in Almaty engaged Dr Stephen Holmes to assist us in updating and improving our Mission and Vision statements to reflect the educational changes and improving strategic direction and growth of our school. Stephen undertook a comprehensive survey of our stakeholders that provided the data for many discussions with the constituent growths. At the Advisory Board Retreat in February, Stephen led the final discussions to conclude this exercise with the publication of the new Mission and Vision. Stephen’s approach was comprehensive and sympathetic to the needs of the community to ensure that these statements reflected the culture of our school and the desired learning outcomes for our students. Through his insights and experience he led us through this process with aplomb. We are all delighted with the outcomes produced.”

“Stephen, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on school reputations. I really enjoyed your presentation and found it to be incredibly helpful. I now have an understanding for what must be done. Thank you!”
