​I have led customized retreats for district leadership teams, department-chair teams, instructional leadership and teacher teams. In the retreat your team will engage in meaningful honest conversations and leave with renewed energy, and a forward-thinking plan for working together to achieve your shared purpose.

​

Let's connect so I can support your team in collaborating at their best!

​.

 

What we can do together...

​

  • Gain clarity of purpose and roles

  • Develop empathy for one another's diverse viewpoints and identities

  • Grow in emotional intelligence

  • Improve group decision-making

  • Work through interpersonal conflict to engage in constructive disagreement

  • Gain effective teaming tools that can also apply to the teacher teams you lead

  • Assess team collaboration and target areas for improvement

  • Foster vulnerability-based trust and shared leadership for learning

  • Become a cohesive group focused on teaching and learning

"High quality! I have seen tremendous growth among principals and department leaders."

-Sue C., Assistant Superintendent
 

​

"I so appreciated the way in which (Elisa) provided candor and insights to working with our leadership to support our teacher teams."

-Chia-Chee C., Head of Middle School 

 

 

"Elisa did a phenomenal job! She purposefully and skillfully brought in a diverse group of stakeholders to develop a day of intentionally crafted activities that led our group of department chairs to a productive and realistic outcome.  I feel more hopeful now about our team than I have in a long while."

​

-S.F., Department Chair Team Leader

​

 

"Elisa took on an impossible job (with our leadership team) and handled it with incredible professionalism and humor."

-Bonnie H., Principal

​

 

"I felt that the level of vulnerability was just right, not so risky that people reacted defensively and enough so that we could get further along as a team. I hope we might work with you again some time in the future, perhaps as a "booster shot" next Winter?"

-Department Chair

​

 

"It was a good day and Elisa was incredibly skilled. I think we all showed up ready to work and we definitely had many good take aways."

-M.C., Department chair

​

​

"This is my first time in my almost decade of experience teaching in this district, that we are TRULY collaborating and basing our work on how students are responding and NOT only on how we are feeling as educators.  As Elisa would say, I'm experiencing a team that is both functional and having a positive impact on student achievement - Quadrant 1!"

-Courtney S.P., Math Teacher Leader
