About
After 48 years as a teacher, coach, and administrator, I retired from my position as head of school in 2020. The title I used at school however was Headlearner. This title captured my approach to being an educator and an administrator. When everyone in a school community is learning, the environment is interesting, open, and stimulating. I bring that same energy and enthusiasm to my coaching and consulting.
Everyone has potential and good coaching brings the best out of people. I am focusing my coaching on independent school educational leaders including heads of school, senior administrators, faculty, and staff. I have particularly enjoyed coaching new heads of school and with the support of the E.E. Ford Foundation, I am running a new heads coaching and cohort program that has been received very well. If you are interested in exploring coaching with me, you can read a number of testimonials on this website. I am happy to give you their contact information if you would like to speak with any of them or other references.
