Meet The Team

 

Chloe graduated from the University of Southampton in 2009 and simultaneously joined The Life Skills Company to run the South Central Area. She has developed The Life Skills Company in this part of the country for over a decade, driven by a belief that building students’ self-esteem, confidence and motivation can lead them to success both inside school and out. Outside of work, Chloe holds various voluntary committee positions for a Scout group and local PTAs and she is a member of the governing body for a primary school. She has three young sons who have given her an even stronger desire to provide young people with opportunities to learn, succeed and be confident in themselves. Her favourite quote is "Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself" George Bernard Shaw.

 

Steve was the first of his family to attend university gaining a BA Hons in Maths/Music at London University and went on to teach Maths at a comprehensive school in Kent and then at a grammar school in the London Borough of Bexley. Years later and attracted by a new challenge, Steve joined IBM and climbed the corporate ladder for 19 years. He held many leadership positions, culminating as Director of Business Partners for UK, Ireland, Netherlands and South Africa. Yearning to again ‘make a difference’, he left IBM to jointly launch The Life Skills Company

in 2003 and now spends his time with students, staff and others associated with education, helping to enhance Emotional & Social Intelligence and Teaching & Learning, in a pragmatic way.

One of his favourite quotes is “May You Live All The Days

Of Your Life.” J. Swift.
