About Kaizen Schools

Helping Christian school leaders rebuild culture, restore unity, and lead with confidence

Mission

At Kaizen Schools, my mission is simple: To empower Christian school leaders with the tools and support they need to reduce burnout, build cohesive teams, and create thriving school cultures.

I believe every leader deserves to enjoy their role, every staff member deserves to feel valued, and every student deserves to flourish in an environment shaped by unity and hope.

The challenge is school leaders are often overextended and under strain. This creates a culture of surviving rather than thriving. Kaizen Schools exists to change that reality.

The Kaizen Philosophy

The Kaizen philosophy is built on the idea of making small, consistent improvements that compound into lasting transformation.

Rather than chasing quick fixes, Kaizen focuses on steady progress — step by step — to create sustainable growth in people, teams, and organisations.

As a Christian leadership coach I combine this philosophy with:

  • Biblical Wisdom — Grounding leadership in values of service, integrity, and hope.

  • Practical Coaching Tools — Evidence-based strategies that give leaders hands on, easy to implement solutions they can use today.

  • Kingdom Vision — A focus on cultivating the kind of school culture that inspires kids to know, love, and follow Jesus.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Who is Josh Newbegin?

Kaizen Schools was founded by Josh Newbegin... coach, trainer, and mentor to Christian school leaders.

Josh is uniquely positioned as both a pastor and a professional coach, combining a deep understanding of the faith context with practical tools from coaching and neuroscience.

He regularly partners with education directors, principals, chaplains, and leadership teams to help schools navigate real-world challenges with real-world solutions.

Monica Boniface Student Teacher, Deakin University

“I’ve had 6 sessions with Josh so far and I couldn’t recommend more! I wasn’t sure what coaching could offer at first and was sceptical, but it has been great for identifying and uncovering barriers that I couldn’t have done alone.”

Kyel Easey Head of Student Services, Geelong Baptist College

“Josh from Kaizen has an incisive, friendly and respectful approach to coaching solutions. He has a high level of empathic listening that complements his precise tailored questioning. He is like the critical respectful friend that guides you.”

Brendan B. Senior Educational Designer Monash University

“The thing that impresses me most about Josh is how well read he is. When you have a session you will notice that he has access to a wide range of theories and practical strategies to call upon because of this extensive knowledge from reading.”
