Lead with Confidence

ST Consulting

Our consulting division focuses on key areas of school life: leadership development, best financial practices, board development, and athletics. Our consultants serve as mentors to heads, CFOs, ADs, division leaders, and more. The best boards ensure that their school remains focused on its distinctive mission, while allowing the school's administrators to manage the everyday; we can help boards be at their best. Our school assessments review current practices and make recommendations for a better future.

Coaching & Mentoring

As the challenges of leading independent schools increase, so does the need to enhance your leadership skills. The support and guidance we can provide through our coaching and mentoring programs will help you and your leadership team hone the skills to meet these challenges. We offer coaching for individual school leaders and Leadership Teams as well as specialized mentoring for Heads, Athletic Directors, and CFOs.

Leadership Team Workshop

"If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together." 
–African proverb

A Leadership Team works together to achieve goals across the school.  But being part of a team means different viewpoints and approaches to challenges—and educators usually have little practice working together towards a common goal.  The Workshop explores options and then focuses on actions along with aligned accountability.  Through a sequence of planned activities, new team practices are reinforced to ensure long-term success.
