About Boardingology

In todays global climate, doors are closing and opening for you and your communities and there is only one sure investment-investing in yourself.

Through being coached in 2009, Tracy came to the realisation that the position she was working in was built on the wrong wall and it was time for change. Through coaching and being inspired by the stories of her boarders, she relocated to Asia to step into the shoes of where many of her boarders came from and she has never looked back.

Working from the grass roots of boarding to supporting setting up of new schools in Asia, she continues to have a portfolio career that works with her mission in mind.

Having seem many colleagues, including herself have both wellbeing and career management challenges, she tried to find knowledge to share and support everyone. There was none!

No books to help, so she wrote one – Boardingology (and her author journey continues... pretty good as a maths teacher!) but this was not enough. No courses, she has travelled and presented at boarding school associations around the world with her message including making boarding practitioners like you behave like kids by drawing round their hands!

She believes that your future is in your hands, so when the going gets tough in a boarding world – the tough get smart. Boarding smart – they get their houses in order by bridging the intention action gap in a space that works for them.

This is exactly what she did! Outside of her boarding working hours, she has trained as a life coach including Marshall Goldsmith Global Leaders of the Future certification.

With the current mental landscape in education, she is a Mental Health First Aid Trainer, consultant on the new Mental Health in Boarding Schools Award and from August 2020 a WRAP facilitator from the Copeland Centre in America to support boarding practitioners improve their wellbeing, crisis or not.

A regular contributor to independent education magazines and the first published author in boarding personal development, she continues to follow her mission to support you one step, one day at a time.
