Improve your school’s performance with research, insight, mentoring, and skill-building

Enrollment Services

Schools can only fulfill their enrollment goals by understanding their constituencies, and only if their experiences match the school's intended value proposition.

Using qualitative research and a human-centered approach, Jill helps leaders retain more students and families through in-depth examination of the issues causing attrition.

Leadership Services

Effective leadership intersects all aspects of a school. From everyday leadership to succession planning, leaders need a complete skill set in understanding and managing people, how to craft and gain support for initiatives, and how to set their successors up for a smooth transition. Jill mentors Heads of School, Executive Directors, Division and Administrative Leaders, working with each to learn their strengths and opportunities for growth.

Small Shop Development services

When we think about a small shop development office, there are three or fewer people on the team. But in truth, "small shop" is a subjective term. You may have many more than three people in your shop, and yet it feels under-resourced and, therefore, small.

Jill works with small teams or one-person shops at the intersection of skill-building, prioritization, project management, and leadership mentoring.

PRESENTATIONS and Workshops

Jill has developed an international reputation with audiences in recent years for her inspiring, insightful presentations and workshops on educational advancement and leadership. As part of her approach, she aims to help organizations harness the combination of smart methodology, active listening, creativity, planning, and compelling messaging that is critical to remain competitive today.

Jill’s presentation topics include: 

• Board Leadership and Strategy

• Retention of Students and Families

• Development Prioritization and Campaign Readiness

• Building Community with Alums and Parents

“Jill’s study was invaluable to us! One of the senior members of our Board of Trustees said in all his years serving on many boards including higher education, it was the best and most actionable study he had ever read.”
