Russell Delderfield has been involved in education for over thirty years. Initially working in education in both France and Spain, he then trained and worked as a primary teacher. Later he became part of senior management in primary education, before a period as a teacher trainer. Latterly, he delivered researcher development at the University of Bradford, having completed his psychology PhD (on male eating disorders). He now manages training and development within a civil service setting. Reflective practice has been a constant part of his professional life, and it influences his reflexive approach to his own development and the training, coaching, and mentoring he delivers to others.
