A Different Kind of Coaching for School Leaders

As a school leader, you’re constantly making important decisions—balancing the needs of students, faculty, parents, and board members while trying to maintain your own well-being. Most school heads turn to other school heads for support, which makes sense—shared experience matters. But sometimes, what you really need isn’t just advice from someone who’s been in your shoes. You need a way to quiet the noise, access your own wisdom, and trust yourself fully.

That’s where I come in.

I believe you already have the insight and expertise to navigate the challenges of school leadership. My role is to help you access that wisdom with clarity and confidence. Using Positive Intelligence coaching, a science-backed approach grounded in neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and performance science, I help you shift the way you operate so that your decision-making, leadership, relationships, and overall well-being all improve.

I bring a unique perspective to this work. I grew up in independent schools, worked in them, and for 25 years, I’ve had a front-row seat to school leadership as the spouse of a head of school. While I haven’t been a head myself, I deeply understand the pressures and complexities you face, and more information isn’t what you need—you need a way to trust what you already know.

When self-doubt, overwhelm, or second-guessing take over, your ability to lead effectively is compromised. Through our work together, you’ll learn how to:

Recognize and shift self-sabotaging mental habits that create stress, fear, and indecision.
Strengthen your ability to stay grounded in the midst of challenges and uncertainty.
Tap into your intuition and make decisions with confidence—without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.
Shift from reactive to intentional leadership so you can approach every situation from a place of calm, clarity, and purpose.

This isn’t traditional leadership coaching—it’s about upgrading the way you think, respond, and lead at the deepest level. Consultants can give you strategies. I help you develop the inner mastery to trust your own.

If you’re ready to experience a different way of leading, let’s connect.
