Customer testimonials

For me it was amazing. MSB have created a professional development institution that people can bring leadership challenges to and can be either affirmed or challenged to follow another track.

Dr Richard Eaton Director, Berlin International School

My coaching has been transformative. I have valued it so much that we are extending 1:1 coaching across all DH and AH in the College. Thank you.

David Ingram Head of College, Dulwich College, Shanghai Puxi

We have already seen the positive impact of the training in many aspects of school life, for example in the development of leadership skills, in 1:1 coaching sessions and in our daily interactions. The Making Stuff Better team bring passion, energy, expertise and honesty to all that they do and have been a pleasure to work with.
