"Andrew Mowat and the expertises he brings is a game changer! His insights into human behaviors and his application of research based models has supported us at ISSP to lead with confidence, have quality conversations which include balanced and well framed courageous conversations. Middle and senior leadership have greatly benefited from his professional development and support. Andrew also facilitates series based PD that builds over time, the capacity of leaders to lead high functioning teacher teams. As a Head of School, I highly recommend Andrew as a professional consultant (and educator)".

Hi, I’m Andrew, the owner, speaker, mentor and trainer of quality brain-based learning.

I support and develop organisations and individuals around metacognition, feedback and conversations that matter. I have a particular interest and skill in developing cultures and processes that help people need less courage to have that key conversation.

I'm also passionate about helping people, especially educators, understand the neuroscience of learning - metacognition and metalearning.
