  • Ep 37: June is Not the Month to Disappear!
    Jun 11 2026

    Many education consultants treat summer like the off-season.

    But while teachers are enjoying a well-deserved break, administrators are reviewing data, setting goals, planning professional learning, and identifying the challenges they need to solve before the next school year begins.

    In this episode, Jenn shares why June is one of the most important months of the year for education consultants—and how focusing on the right activities now can position you for a stronger fall.

    You'll learn:

    • Why education consultants should plan around the school calendar, not the fiscal calendar
    • What principals and district leaders are focused on during the summer months
    • The three market research questions every consultant should be asking administrators
    • How to use summer to strengthen relationships with current and former clients
    • Why conversations matter more than certifications, websites, and graphics right now
    • The difference between building an offer and building marketing assets
    • The highest-impact activities to focus on in June if your goal is to book more contracts this fall

    Whether you're just getting started or already working with schools, this episode will help you identify where to focus your time and energy this summer.

  • Ep 36: Why Coaching Changes Everything (And Why Information Alone Usually Doesn't)
    May 20 2026


    In this episode, Jenn talks about the real power of coaching and why so many consultants stay stuck—not because they lack resources, but because they’re trying to build their business alone.

    One day of PD rarely creates transformation.

    Implementation does.

    And the same thing happens in business.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why information alone rarely creates momentum
    • The difference between learning and implementation
    • Why PD + coaching creates stronger outcomes for schools
    • The 3 things coaching actually provides: speed, perspective, and confidence
    • Why many consultants stay stuck in decision fatigue
    • How coaching helps shorten the path to consistent progress

    Plus, stay to the end to hear a testimonial mashup from education consultants who have experienced coaching firsthand.
