ABOUT VICTOR ALLEN
More than 30 years of experience
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with leaders in education, charities and other organisations—helping them navigate change, strengthen leadership and create environments where people can flourish.
My experience spans schools, colleges, universities and international education. I’ve supported headteachers, senior teams, trustees, chief executives and governing bodies through periods of growth, challenge and organisational change.
National and international work
Through The Queen’s Trust, I supported chief executives from leading UK youth charities, including Teach First, The Prince’s Trust, Coram, City Year, IntoUniversity and OnSide.
Internationally, I have delivered European professional-development programmes, worked with independent schools in Switzerland and led teacher exchanges involving educators from across Europe.
Education and professional development
I am a regular keynote speaker at the Independent Schools Association New Heads Conference and spent five years contributing to teacher-education programmes at the universities of Bedfordshire and Northampton.
I am also an accredited Myers-Briggs Type Indicator facilitator and the author of two books on behaviour and brain development.
The experience behind my work
Over the years, I’ve developed practical tools and frameworks including the Human Environment, the BASE model, the 3Ms and the Human Lenses. Each has grown from practical experience with real people and real situations.
Today, I work as an independent thinking partner to leaders. I offer practical insight, constructive challenge and a confidential space in which to think clearly, tackle difficult issues and make sound decisions.
