What Makes This Different: I've been on both sides of the search process—as a candidate navigating multiple searches and as a head of school hiring senior leaders and serving on search committees. I know what catches a search committee's attention and what makes them pass. I know the difference between candidates who project confidence vs. those who project arrogance. And I know the internal work required to step into senior leadership authentically, not just strategically. More importantly, I'll help you discern whether this next step is truly right for you—not just whether you can get the job, but whether you'll thrive in it. Sometimes the most important outcome of this coaching is clarity that you're not ready yet, or that headship isn't actually what you want. That's valuable too.
Timeline & Flexibility: Standard engagement is 3 to 6 months with bi-weekly sessions, but we can adjust based on your search timeline.
Active search: Accelerate to weekly sessions when you have finalist interviews
Exploratory phase: Spread sessions over 4-5 months if you're still discerning
Post-offer: Add a follow-up session for transition planning (additional fee)
Pricing: Varies depending upon length of engagement. Sliding scale available: I offer adjusted pricing for small organizations with limited budgets.
