Where evidence meets practice, and purpose meets clarity

Tailored professional development and real impact

Azimuth’s professional development offers tailored training for educators and leaders seeking to thrive in a changing world.

Each keynote or workshop is shaped by your context, not off-the-shelf, but grounded in real experience, enlivened by research, and delivered with purpose.

Whether you’re refining curriculum, aligning systems, building leadership capacity, or rethinking digital strategy, my focus is on practical insight and strategic clarity, not novelty for its own sake.

01. Academic strategy and operational management

Strong academic outcomes don’t happen by accident. They are the product of coherent strategy, effective systems, and a culture of purposeful teaching. I work with schools to design and implement performance frameworks that align curriculum intent with classroom practice, support staff development, and ensure that ambition is not only articulated, but achieved.

02. Effective teaching

High-quality, impactful teaching is the beating heart of any school. I help develop evidence-informed practices that drive real learning, engage students, and foster professional confidence among staff.

03. Leadership at every level

Good leadership can be cultivated at every stage of a career. I offer structured, reflective development for aspiring, emerging, and established leaders, building the strategic insight, interpersonal fluency, and professional confidence needed to lead with integrity and lasting impact.

04. Speaking engagements

A well regarded keynote speaker and workshop leader, I am regularly invited to share insights on leadership, digital strategy, and school improvement at national and international education conferences. My focus is on purposeful change, digital transformation, and how values-driven leadership can be informed by coaching principles. Audiences appreciate the blend of research, real-world insight, and compelling delivery.

Don't just take my word for it...

“This session today has left me with so much to think about and gratitude to have people like you in my circle, who I can learn from.

“His clarity and grounded thinking led me to invite him to speak to my colleagues at Discovery Education, and later to join the ‘Textbooks v Technology’ panel at the Battle of Ideas festival. On both occasions, José made a persuasive case for pragmatic use of technology in the classroom - a position rooted in real-world insight, not ideology.”
