iMA for Schools

In every classroom in every school throughout the country there are four different learning styles:

High Red: Big Picture, Fast and Deliberate, Sticking to the Agenda, and Task Orientated.

High Green: Small Picture, Slow and Methodical, Sticking to the Agenda and Task Orientated.

High Yellow: Big Picture, Fast and Spontaneous, Going with the Flow and Relationship Orientated.

High Blue: Small Picture, Slow and Relaxed, Going with the Flow and Relationship Orientated.

And yet although there are four distinct learning styles there is only ever one teaching style in operation at any one time.

Adopting iMA and imbedding it throughout the entire school ecosystem will allow everyone to become aware of how other people communicate, how they learn and how they teach. Allowances can then be made to ensure that everyone achieves a successful set of outcomes removing the traditional misunderstandings and miscommunications.

Orienne Langley-Sadler

As a relatively new Headteacher, I had worked with my team to create a clear vision and values for the school. However, despite regularly referring to them, it became apparent that staff were interpreting the vision in different ways. Communication challenges emerged, frustrations grew, and I could sense divisions within the team without fully understanding why.

The iMA session was a turning point. It helped us recognise that we all process information, communicate, and plan differently. Most importantly, it gave us a shared language to discuss these differences openly and positively, removing the personal element and fostering greater understanding across the team.

Since then, we have embedded iMA into team discussions, leadership development, and communication practices across the school. The impact has been so significant that we have extended the training to senior leaders across the trust. As an Executive Leader, I hope to see the language and principles of iMA become embedded throughout the organisation. Your support has been invaluable in helping us create a culture of greater openness, understanding, and collaboration.

Thank you Ashley for providing a fun and informative session to the Salaried Managers and Leadership Team here at LLPT. The teams took away an understanding of our different personality types and our individual preferences in different communication types whist also appreciating that different people will enjoy and more naturally excel in different roles within our restaurants and organisation. It has definitely formed part of our conversations and actions within LLPT. Thank you. Lance Flor – DIRECTOR LLPT FOODS (MCDONALDS)

Ashley worked with us to re-define our ideal sales candidate profile, re-work our recruitment advert, and re-strategize around our interview process. After many months of searching previously, we managed to find the ideal candidate within a couple of weeks, made an offer which was accepted, and is now working out well in our environment. I highly recommend Ashley as he not only uses a very effective methodology, but is also a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. Robin Charrot – CEO SMART GRID FORUMS

I really enjoyed the training Ashley put together for my team. He’s a fantastic facilitator who kept everyone engaged with a great blend of learning and playfulness. His knowledge and expertise really shone throughout the session and he’s provided us with a great framework and understanding of personality and communication styles which will be a huge help going forward.
