Juliet is an experienced and knowledgeable colleague. She led her school as HT to successive outstanding Ofsted judgements but her impact was far more reaching with each child's interests at the heart of her world. She was also Futurezone, a voluntary collaborative of 20 schools in Islington, Co-Chair for a decade where she provided clear leadership and was held in high esteem by her fellow Headteachers.

Juliet is a driven and committed leader. She has worked across the education sector and achieved lasting outcomes for children and young people. Juliet’s relentless ambition to improve the life chances for children and their families is inspiring. Her last school secured outstanding across the entire campus inc the adjoining children’s centre thanks to Juliet’s determination. She has a can-do attitude and well-honed emotional intelligence. Juliet will make a welcome addition to any organisation and help to drive improvements.

Delighted to recommend Juliet Benis as an expert in education, from Children’s Centre through Primary, from big-picture strategy to the smallest details. Juliet turned an underperforming school around, made it Outstanding and established a strong team to continue the good work. Observant, full of ideas, humour and energy; and a clear communicator.

I worked with Juliet for over 16 years when she was Head at Ambler School. Juliet is an inspirational leader, deeply committed to ensuring those under her care are developed to their maximum potential. She has a clear focus on attainment and a commitment to achieving goals, personal development, continuous learning. Juliet is also committed to valuing diversity and inclusion.

Juliet is an inspiring leader who offered a huge amount of sage advice, support and educational expertise whilst working in Islington.

I was lucky enough to have a coaching session with Juliet when I was in the middle of deciding if it was the right time to leave the job I was in. It was a huge help to discuss this with someone able to give objective advice, allowing me to weigh the pro's and con's, and to help me see what I wanted, but had been afraid to go for. We then rehearsed a variety of ways for me to bring this up with my boss, which lead to a wonderful conversation. I managed to leave my job with a good lead time to find other work, and continuing and strong relationships with my former colleagues. I couldn't recommend Juliet's coaching more — she was supportive and warm, but firm and direct in a way that gave me huge clarity. Thank you Juliet!

I found my sessions with Juliet to be very supportive - they helped me to work through my feelings and develop immediate next steps as well as consider longer term actions.

For anyone who is looking to build a trustworthy and professional relationship with a Life Coach then Juliet is the perfect person. I met Juliet through different business sectors and various professional colleagues. I was told about Juliet's coaching company and was advised to start a new set of sessions. This has proven to be a huge advantage to me both professionally and personally. Not only have I learnt about myself, I have been able to challenge myself in areas of development like imposter syndrome, handling difficult situations and resolving difficult problems. By completing a set of 6 sessions I was able to build my confidence with a number of challenging decisions that all leaders have to make. The coaching that I received has not only helped me but the people that I work with, you need a strong leadership & professional approach. I highly recommend Juliet to anyone who is seeking development at any point in their career.

The 6 sessions of coaching I had with Juliet was extremely beneficial to my professional development and has given me great confidence in taking on more responsibility and helping with leading a team. Juliet’s approach was completely tailored to my goals and personal experiences. She is very professional but also extremely warm, frank and down to earth. I would highly recommend coaching with Juliet.

Have had a number of coaching sessions with Juliet over the last year or so - cannot recommend highly enough. She was able to bespoke my sessions to fit my need and purpose at the time. Really professional, knowledgeable and was extremely beneficial to me.

I had a truly empowering coaching experience with Juliet. From the very beginning, she created a safe, supportive space that encouraged honest reflection and meaningful growth. Juliet listens with genuine empathy and insight, and her thoughtful guidance helped me gain clarity on both personal and professional challenges. Most importantly, she helped me build the confidence to pursue a leadership role and supported me in developing the skills needed to thrive in that position. Her coaching style is both grounding and motivating — she asked the right questions, challenged me when needed, and celebrated progress with sincerity. I consistently left our sessions feeling more focused, capable, and inspired. Working with Juliet has been a transformative experience, and I’m deeply grateful for her wisdom and support.

Thank you, Juliet, for so carefully preparing me for retirement/ semi-retirement after 43 years of teaching, 29 years as a Head teacher and Executive Head. You prepared me to leave my precious school and my school family mentally, physically and emotionally. You sensitively led me to reflect upon my achievements and my strengths which I have been too busy to quantify and acknowledge. Your coaching enabled me to take stock of what is important to me in my life and my interests which in turn has led me to think about what's next and my future. You skilfully opened doors that have been closed or ajar for years and I am now excited about my options. You came highly recommended by trusted colleagues, and I pass on my highest recommendation to other colleagues out their thinking about retirement or just in need of school improvement and leadership support as I know you do that so well too. Thank you, Juliet, for making such a difference to my life.'

I've had the joy of working with Juliet for the past two years. Her coaching has been invaluable in the transition from deputy headship into my first headship. She has helped to find my authentic voice and to clearly articulate my vision and values. She also has an uncanny knack of getting to the real crux of a matter, even if it's not what I had come to the session thinking about! I'm a better leader because of this support. Recommen
