We are committed to equip every stakeholder in your district with the mindset, skillset, and toolset needed to reach new levels of performance and achieve exceptional results. Our expert consultants and coaches design and deliver learning solutions tailored to your district’s most important goals.
In addition to PD and consulting, we offer a PK-12 school improvement system called Leader in Me (LiM). LiM is an evidence-based, comprehensive model that builds leadership and life skills in students, transforms culture and climate, and lays the foundation for sustained academic achievement.
Leader in Me’s mission is to develop life-ready leaders by developing essential 21st Century skills needed to succeed in college, career, and life beyond academia. LiM curriculum has been aligned with the Indiana Employability Standards and solidifies a K-12 continuum of employability skills development.
Student outcomes are represented by the LiM Student Leadership Portrait, which displays the real-world competencies all students will possess upon graduation.
