I COACH PEOPLE IN

HIGHER ED WHO JUST

BECAME THE BOSS.

OR THE BIGGER BOSS.

Since 2016, I’ve coached dozens of deans, department heads, directors of service units, and the people who run the teams underneath them.


What people bring me

Here are some real problems I’ve helped clients work through:

Wanting a job you don’t have yet.


Not being sure you want the job you’re applying for.


Being the boss of people who used to be your peers.


Inheriting a team that had no say in the vision you were hired to deliver


Managing people for the first time, with nobody offering to teach you how.


A team stuck in a loop of complaints and anonymous reports.


A unit that has to change how it fundamentally works, with everyone coming along


The rules

  • Nothing is recorded

  • No names, no identifying details, no company names.

  • What gets said in the room stays in the room, and everyone agrees to that before we start.

  • You can keep it as vague as you need to. The problem is usually still solvable at a distance.
