​Catarina Heleno Mendes

I train and coach teachers to develop their leadership skills, so they can be better equipped to deal with students’ behaviour, many roles at the same time, stress issues, time constraints, workload, lack of parent support and the need
of constant upgrading.

By developing leadership skills (interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive competencies), they can achieve work-life balance, increase their focus and reduce their stress levels which allows them to be more effective and more productive to inspire and support their students to grow and reach all their potential, to create more meaningful and fulfilling personal and professional lives.

I have experience on working with principals, teachers and students (Leadership Academy). 

I have a Law degree (Faculty of Law, Católica University School) and have made the Erasmus exchange Programme at Universidad Complutense of Madrid.
