"people thought they might die" probably answers lots of questions like this.

I still remember those bus rides home as a senior leader.
Tricky conversations I’d been avoiding.
Endless “urgent” emails.
No space to think.
That’s why I built TalkSavvy™ Coach.

We can’t control what parents say or do.
But we can give teachers & leaders the tools to handle it with clarity & confidence.

✔️ Process emotions after a heated interaction.
✔️ Plan what to say before responding to complaints/tricky conversations.
✔️ Reflect afterwards & rebuild confidence.

For senior leaders, dealing with parents is now one of the 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.
That’s why I created 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗦𝗮𝘃𝘃𝘆™ 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, an 𝗔𝗜-𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 I’ve designed to support leaders with emotionally intelligent conversations, confidence dips, and people challenges.
🔹 1 in 5 teachers have experienced verbal abuse from parents.
🔹 30% have had a parent undermine a sanction they gave a child.
🔹 27% admitted they ignored poor behaviour because they feared parental backlash.
Most teachers have never been trained to manage parent conversations.

A Teacher Tapp survey confirms what so many school leaders have been telling me.
Parent relationships are tougher than ever, and teachers are paying the price.
I totally understand the wrench. We got rid of most of our books (that is had since pre-A levels) when we moved from London to Bournemouth. Then we pretty much got rid of all of it when we moved to Spain. Mega ruthless!

It requires strategy, not just passion.
Imagine if you had a 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁, guiding you step-by-step to prepare for those moments.
Helping you 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆-𝗶𝗻 from the start.
And then I realised something painful but powerful: the problem was 𝗺𝗲.
I had gone in like a teacher, not a leader.
The next time, I went in prepared.
I shared why this mattered:
This time, the room was silent.
Staff were completely engaged.
By the end, they were fully on board.
𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.
The backlash hit me like a wall:
Staff yelling at me across the room.
Others saying it was against their religion to teach certain parts of the curriculum.
I walked out of that meeting shaking and holding back tears.

I was passionate.
I’d done the courses, studied the research, and believed my enthusiasm would be infectious - just like it was in my history lessons.
I thought staff would see what I saw.

You’re not bad at conflict.
You just haven’t been shown how to do it well.
