Highly recommended for any school looking to invest in staff wellbeing in a way that truly resonates and has a grounding in science!” We recently invited Charlie Burley to deliver a wellbeing coaching session for our teaching staff, and I can confidently say it was one of the most impactful CPD sessions we've hosted. Charlie’s approach was incredibly engaging, down-to-earth, and tailored perfectly to the unique pressures faced by educators. His style struck a brilliant balance between being informative and genuinely supportive, with practical strategies that staff could immediately relate to and apply. What stood out most was his ability to create a safe, open space where staff felt comfortable reflecting and sharing. From the outset, Charlie was highly professional and well-organised. He took the time to understand our school context and adapted the session to meet the needs of our team. That level of personalisation made a real difference and was appreciated by our leadership. The feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive. Since the session, we’ve noticed a tangible shift in morale and communication. Staff are actively referring back to key takeaways and implementing strategies around wellbeing and workload management. It’s sparked meaningful conversations and a more supportive culture across the school. Highly recommended for any school looking to invest in staff wellbeing in a way that truly resonates and has a grounding science and not toxic positivity (I can confirm nobody fell into anyone else’s arms during this training!)

I had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside Charlie to work on a coaching plan for my wonderful staff team so that they can support each other and upskill our Line Managers. I can confidently say his coaching skills are exceptional. From the outset, Charlie demonstrated a professional, organised approach and tailored the session specifically to meet the needs of our staff, which made a real difference. His style is engaging and practical, with clear strategies that staff could immediately apply in their classrooms. What particularly stood out was Charlie’s ability to create an inclusive, supportive environment that encouraged open discussion and reflection. The response from our staff has been overwhelmingly positive. I’ve already noticed increased confidence and engagement in coaching, and staff are actively implementing the techniques shared during the session. It’s clear that this training has had a meaningful impact on teaching and learning across our school. I would highly recommend Charlie to any school looking to enhance the skills and confidence of their team!

Thank you Charlie for being amazing! We’d love to welcome you back again at some point. At SWR we highly value staff and student wellbeing. Charlie came to our last Staff Wellbeing Day and after discussions with Charlie he delivered 3 fantastic bespoke sessions that met the needs of our staff (1 keynote session and 2 workshop sessions). Our staff felt that as a trainer he was insightful and understood the challenges to their wellbeing. His sessions covered a range of tangible activities that many of our staff have implemented into their daily practice. Staff were thrilled at the pitch of Charlie’s sessions, feeling they were pitched well and everyone went away having a much better understanding of how quick wellbeing activities can positively impact on their wellbeing and how it links to the brain and body. Thank you Charlie for being amazing! We’d love to welcome you back again at some point.

I would highly recommend Charlie’s services to any school wishing to invest in staff wellbeing, respond to the needs and concerns of their teachers, and ultimately prevent the far-reaching impact of burnout across the whole school community. Charlie was a guest speaker at an ISN Live event on tackling the challenges of burnout and managing teacher workload. He was an excellent addition to the panel, sharing his personal journey and experiences of burnout as an educator, while also offering practical and realistic strategies to set clear boundaries and help teachers manage stress and workload more effectively.

Charlie did a series of workshops at our school with staff and we were so impressed with his practical tips and advice that we then rolled out similar workshops with our sixth formers. Charlie was a teacher himself so knows exactly what we are all going through and the pressure points of the day/year. Workshops were tailored to our requirements and we now offer them yearly..
