It's time for something new.
The Leader Network is the evolution of coaching and consulting for leaders of independent schools.
We’re more than (super-dedicated) coaches and consultants.
We’re also an uplifting professional network. And we’re an incubator for new ways of thinking about—and practicing—leadership.
Our Services
Coaching & Mentoring
Our team of certified coaches represents the diversity of experience and expertise that we want to see in independent schools. We find the right coach for the right leader, tailoring our support to your needs and goals. We listen to you, help you consider your options, share resources and research, provide guided 360 reviews, and think alongside you. Through regular, one-on-one meetings, we help you become more confident, compassionate, and creative. You’ll develop critical skills: empathy, leadership presence, effective communication, and receive constructive feedback. The bottom line: We’re here to empower you.
Roundtables & Networking
We bring together school leaders—from across the nation and around the world—and facilitate roundtable discussions that focus on key topics, essential themes, and complex challenges—allowing participants to share, collaborate and problem solve in a safe, supportive, and inspirational environment.
Team Building & Board Governance
We’re redefining team dynamics, board effectiveness, and strategic direction through engaging team-building experiences, 360 reviews, expert board governance facilitation, and visionary strategic planning. Our approach brings teams together, strengthens board leadership, and guides schools in crafting plans that ensure long-term success. Whether focusing on collaboration, alignment, or future growth, we help create the foundation for leaders and organizations to thrive.
Strategic Planning
The Leader Network helps independent schools move beyond static plans to create strategic roadmaps that are clear, actionable, and community-driven. Grounded in our VISTA Framework, our process engages all stakeholders, aligns leadership around mission and priorities, and builds in accountability to ensure real progress. With deep experience as former heads of school, we guide planning that is informed, inspired, insightful, adaptable, and effective—resulting in strategies that are truly lived, not shelved.
