“I don’t like consultants. These guys are different. Simply put, Tom and Brad have been fantastic and this is the best investment I have made in my time as Superintendent. They are as committed to our kids as we are. And their approach is different from anything I’ve seen in my 30 years as a professional. We will continue to work with them to build capacity within our organization to intentionally grow and develop our school Principals and all of our people. I highly recommend them for any school district looking to improve, grow, and take it to the next level.”

“Thank you very much for the work you are doing with me. I think the best way I can express myself is to share with you that I appreciate you serving as both a mirror and a window for me with my leadership work. The mirror involves you helping me see what exists in the data about my leadership work, but more important, helping me see the blind spots that seem to have developed in me as a leader (I believe this is true for all leaders). While difficult and challenging, I am grateful for the discussions and ideas.”

Create the High-Performing Culture You Want
You have a vision. You face mounting pressure to generate results.
You know that the majority of education initiatives today simply do not produce results.
We offer a different approach.
We are the culture experts. We specialize in turning your vision into reality.

What are the Cultural Outcomes You Can Expect?

Accountability exists at all levels and is supportive of personal growth and accomplishment, not punitive.
-
Open communication exists throughout the organization, unimpeded by organizational rank.
-
Confronting difficult issues is accepted as necessary to produce forward movement and is conducted in a manner that strengthens interpersonal relationships.
-
People within the organization are united by a commitment to a common purpose that is superior to individual agendas.
-
Departmental “silos” are breached and new-found ideas are generated.
-
Inspirational leadership exists throughout the organization.
-
Coaching is the norm in relationships and fosters personal and organizational growth.

The Approach
Our approach to building an intentional culture of inspiration, integrity and support in districts goes beyond the standard team-building exercises and individual coaching sessions made popular in the last century.
We specialize in creating future-focused, sustainable coaching cultures in which your team members learn to empower each other through effective leadership, management and coaching.
We employ three distinct disciplines (Leadership, Management and Coaching) and a variety of tools in our work:
The process spans several months, and includes group workshops and coaching as well as one-on-one coaching. We refer to our programs as Transformational Leadership Projects because they are a catalyst for cultural transformation. They are comprehensive in nature and incorporate team building, management training, training in coaching, development of inspirational leadership, change leadership, and strategic plan vitalization.

We Don’t Do PD
A frequently heard complaint about professional development is that people return from training programs or PD (professional development) with new concepts and when faced with on-the-job pressure, revert to old behaviors. Our comprehensive approach, backed by our promise for results, guarantees sustainable change and measurable results.
“In order for students to prosper, academically, socially, and emotionally, adults in the school system must prosper in the same areas.
This is where Phoenix Performance Partners truly shines."
High Impact Learning
The common technology to all of our programs is high impact learning... learning that makes a dramatic impact in the real world.
We promise to create breakthroughs that can be measured in results that you care about. We work directly with you to identify the specific results that you want to accomplish (examples include employee satisfaction, productivity, fund balance growth, etc.).
