Bio
Julian Jom (杨桦)
Brendan has been very proactive in assisting, guiding, and supporting me with planning and engineering my next moves in my career journey. The interview practice and coaching he did with me prior to my interview for a leadership position were highly invaluable. Hence, I went into the interview very well prepared and positioned to respond to all possible questions posed towards me by the panel. All my conversations with Brendan were further enriched by his own school leadership experience and latest knowledge and understanding of the current climate in schools.
Jason Shulman
It was an incredible privilege to be guided and mentored by Brendan; a heartfelt and empowering colleague who was invested in my educational future. Attentive to every aspect of my professional journey - from ensuring that I developed the confidence and the requisite skills for prospective interviews, to regular check-ins and most importantly, affording me with his honest appraisal of what I could become & and how to best position myself, moving forward. An exemplary leader in the education space and with the clients ‘head, heart and soul’ at the fore of his operatives, I am grateful to Brendan for the immense support he afforded to me.
