Donna Burfield: A Quarter-Century of Nurturing Minds and Hearts

Boasting an expansive 26-year career in the educational sector, Donna Burfield is more than an educator; she is an advocate for lifelong learning and individual growth.

Her expertise led her to the Montessori Kindergarten environment, specializing in the Foundation 1 and 2 levels. Donna excelled in crafting educational experiences that are as enriching as they are personalized.

Her passion for education didn't stop there. For eight years, Donna has served as a Learning Support Assistant in a Secondary school setting. In this role, she has been instrumental in providing targeted educational support and ensuring a conducive learning environment for students of varying needs.

In the realm of personal experience, Donna is a mother to three remarkable children: a daughter and twin sons. As a single parent for over a decade, Donna's hands-on experiences have equipped her with invaluable life skills, imbuing her professional roles with genuine empathy and understanding.

Whether you are a parent seeking guidance, or an educational institution aiming for excellence, Donna Burfield stands as a pillar of expertise and compassion in the educational and parenting landscape.

Our Partnership

Coaching is a unique partnership between two people, the coach and the client. The coach's role is to ask thought-provoking questions and create an environment that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. It allows the client to find the answers from within, and become more aware of the options and the resources available to them.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE

This relationship is designed to facilitate the creation/development of

personal, professional, or business goals and to develop and carry out a plan for achieving those goals.

This is delivered in a non-judgmental and supportive environment which in turn stimulates you to reflect, inquire, acknowledge, apply SMART goals, and ‘take action’ where applicable in your life.

My pledge to you
