Job Search Coaching
The search world is complicated and candidates need support. If you are a leader beginning a search or an experienced head starting a new search, our consultants are eager to work with you from the start of a search when you are considering positions through the application and interview stages of the process. Having an experienced educator and coach on your side as you move through the search process is essential.
Professional Development
Our consultants work with heads of school to help budget and plan for professional development, work with heads of school on how to improve faculty search, hiring, onboarding, mentoring and retaining faculty and administrators.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning consulting includes strategic plan creation, surveying, documentation, strategic plan update, audit, follow through and production of the report. We believe that the Board and senior administrators who have studied the school and dreamed about its future hold the ideas for the next phase of the school. The role of the consultant, therefore, is not to create the plan but to draw out of the leadership their collective wisdom. By focusing discussion and data gathering, we can help the leadership to clarify and hone that wisdom, organizing it into a coherent plan and implementation program.
