What service would you recommend?

It really depends on the needs of your school or organization. For example, if your team is chronically struggling with culture, communication and conflict, or if you have high staff turnover, I would recommend the Innovate option. Studies show that it takes at least 3 years to implement any kind of meaningful change within a program. If you are just looking for a tune up or have people on your team who are skilled in building relationships and/or are already implementing innovative methods at your site, the Create option may be enough. If your team is interested in learning more about a particular pedagogical method, I would recommend the Explore option.

What will the day to day look like?

To get a better understanding of what my work looks like, please book a free consultation. I would be happy to show you a detailed description of my process and what you can expect. Don’t like what you see or have other ideas? Let’s see if we can co-create a process that we’re both comfortable with.

What is the difference between a consultant and a coach and which one are you?

In a nutshell, the difference between a consultant and coach is that a consultant has specific expertise on a subject, and will give you tools, methods and processes to do your work more effectively. A coach on the other hand is someone who will guide you to discover the answers on your own; I do both, depending on where we are in the process together. For example, as I’m getting to know you and helping you to reflect, I am acting more as a coach. At other points in the process, I will be giving you tools to use after our partnership has come to an end, so you can integrate your learning and on your own with your team.

Why does my school or organization need a consultant or a coach to implement these practices? isn’t that the job of the leadership team?

Simply put, a consultant or coach is able to hold the birds eye view of an organizational ecosystem and is removed from the complicated relationship and power dynamics that are present. I occupy neutral, unbiased territory so that I can support you and your team equitably, and i free of workplace politics. It is important to me that my services support everyone at your worksite, no matter their position.
