Service Description
"As a new district leader, I have benefited greatly from Elisa's support. With her guidance, I am now better equipped to mentor the teacher leaders in my department... She also worked with me to develop strategic goals and priorities for my department that are high-leverage and actionable. She has supported me in thinking through challenging leadership decisions around staff changes and implementing a practice of analyzing data and student work in my district citywide meetings. I appreciate her ability to think strategically while also addressing the day-to-day minutiae of school life and interpersonal dynamics that shape implementation." - Joelle Pederson, Literacy District Coordinator (USA) "Elisa, I’ve been carrying our conversation with me all week. It was truly transformative. Thank you for the depth of thought, the intentionality, and the care you put into our sessions. Thank you also for the detailed notes and reflections... I’ve read through them several times already. The way you captured the nuances of our conversation and translated them into actionable next steps is such a gift...It’s giving me a new lens through which to think about leadership." - Connie Hur, Teacher Leader (Brazil) "What made Elisa such an effective leadership coach was her ability to truly listen... her thoughtful questions consistently prompted meaningful reflection and growth. She brought an authenticity and humility to every interaction that immediately built trust. Beyond her deep knowledge and experience, what I appreciated most was that she never positioned herself as simply giving answers. Instead, she supported me in ways that strengthened my own capacity, confidence, and sense of efficacy as a leader. I left each conversation feeling both supported and more capable." - Karli Lomax, Director of Teaching and Learning (Guyana) Description: Whether stepping into a new leadership role; building a robust cohort of skillful department leads, coaches and teacher leaders; working towards a professional goal, or just want to fine tune your leadership habits, Elisa's coaching is sure to impact your work and development as a leader.
