Are you an educational or nonprofit leader trying to implement lasting change to make a genuine difference?

Then you’re in the right place. Especially if…

  • You’ve tried other capacity-building methods and nothing seems to stick.

  • You understand that high-quality professional learning is essential for your staff, but your current process to build adult skills and change their practices is not working (if it exists at all).

  • Your team is tired of being asked to make changes without knowing if what they’re doing is actually working.

  • Your team does a lot of “good work,” but you don’t know how to effectively measure such efforts to demonstrate real impact.

  • Every time you get excited to try a new process or innovation, there’s resistance (and some heavy sighs) from your team.

  • You’ve allocated substantial funding to initiatives before, but you feel like they always flop – both with your team and with student and community results.

  • Your mission and purpose are just words on a wall. Everyone knows them, but they’ve lost their meaning.

  • At the end of the day, everyone agrees that student achievement is the goal. But you can’t find consensus on how to get there.

It’s possible to improve outcomes and stay true to your values.You just need a guide to show you how.

Hi, I’m Dr. Amanda March.

I’ve been in the trenches with organizations of all sizes, from strategic systems support for giant school districts and nonprofits all the way to the coaching at the classroom level. And I’m intimately familiar with the struggles facing leaders and educators in the modern landscape.

My experience designing, delivering, and measuring high-quality professional learning for educators has taught me that we’re all dealing with similar struggles. And the missing piece I keep coming back to? Values.

How I’m different.

I’ve learned that alignment of values is the first step toward sustainable organizational change. And that directly impacts the success, growth, and achievement of teams at all levels.
