Detailed Service Plan

Who This Serves:

  • Aspiring Heads of School: Assistant/Associate Heads, Division Directors, or senior administrators preparing for their first headship search

  • Mid-Level Leaders Ready to Advance: Teachers or program directors seeking division director, assistant head, or other senior leadership roles

  • Nonprofit Professionals: Program directors, development directors, or senior staff preparing for executive director roles

  • Leaders Contemplating Transition: Anyone discerning whether senior leadership is the right next step

What We'll Work On Together:

  • Developing & Strengthening Current Leadership Practices

  • Leadership Identity & Readiness Assessment

  • Positioning & Professional Narrative

  • Search Strategy & Application Excellence

  • Interview Preparation & Performance

  • Decision-Making & Negotiation

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.
