WHY
Assisted Insights guides school boards and nonprofit organizations to uncover their existing strengths and leverage them to achieve continuous improvement. “The answer is in the room" - true transformation begins by recognizing and amplifying what is already working.
HOW
Utilizing a proven strengths-based framework for organizational change, we’ll focus on identifying and building upon an organization’s positive core — the resources, practices, and successes that define its excellence. By fostering a culture of celebration, creativity, and collaboration, let’s empower your organization to address challenges with confidence and craft a future rooted in possibility and energy.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Leaders model empowerment through an ongoing process that lifts up the bright spots, collaboratively designs continuous improvement, and implements transformational, sustainable change. Together, we’ll harness the passion and capabilities of teams and stakeholders to create meaningful, lasting impact.
With Assisted Insights, organizations experience a transformation that starts with uncovering their internal power and ends with a clear, strong path forward.
Services
Visionary Board Governance Support
The board’s responsibility is more than mere oversight; the board shapes the experiences of students, educators, parents and volunteers within the school or organization. But this requires an intentional, cohesive approach that other providers don’t address.
Perpetual Organizational Development
If your board of directors meetings focus on getting by month-to-month, your organization is in danger of stagnating. Adopt a growth and innovation model for sustainable, long-term mission achievement.

Leadership Search
Long-term success doesn’t happen without a leader that shares the board’s vision - and has the skills to execute on it. Attract and retain leaders that take the organization - school district or nonprofit - to the next level.
Navigating a Career Change
I help subject matter experts uncover their pre-existing skills that make them successful candidates - and top performers - in a career in sales.
Big-Picture Vision and Thought Leadership
Don't avoid difficult conversations - a third-party facilitator can help navigate contentious group issues. Enable fact-based, unemotional group discussions on otherwise controversial issues.
