“My D.P. and I left the PLD absolutely buzzing—one of the best sessions I have had the privilege of attending. Thank you so much for organising this, and thank you to Mark for his brilliant presentation.”
“Our school leadership has worked with Dr Mark Osborne in a number of ways over the last 10 years. As a new principal he helped me develop the leadership capabilities and strategies of new team leaders and form a cohesive and strong leadership team. Mark knows how to get to the core of the issue and ask the right questions. He comes equipped with a huge number of strategies to support inquiry, strategic planning and leadership development. His work reflects research and academic rigour while also being practical and easy for leaders (experienced and inexperienced) to access. Our team have all appreciated working with Mark as he is easy to engage with and they can see the impact on their leadership - in their confidence, knowledge and practical leadership tools/strategies.”
“Mark, it’s been a great year working with you. I’ve really enjoyed learning how to lead. It’s something that no one really teaches you but you have done a great job equipping us with the right tools. I look forward to continuing working with you next year.”
“Just wanted to say how much I loved your workshop today. It was a really inspiring morning and I was rapt to be there. Thanks so much for unpacking things in such a memorable way.”
