September 01, 2025
Flourishing Leaders:
I am excited to let you know that I am hosting the From Vision to Vitality conference for those launching or leading a transformational school
Whether you're considering starting your dream school, preparing to launch it, or navigating the exhilarating, complex early years of leading one - From Vision to Vitality is your blueprint for creating and sustaining a school that transforms lives.
This one-day, high-impact event is designed for educational pioneers - those building from the ground up and those refining and growing bold, innovative models in their first five years.
You will also get the chance to connect with peers, gain actionable strategies, and walk away with a clear plan for launching strong, leading with confidence, and sustaining your vision for the long term.
What You'll Experience
Our sessions are designed to equip you with the mindset, tools, and strategies to not only launch well but to lead with vision, resilience, and adaptability during the formative first years.
From Spark to Strategy - Transform your big idea (or early-stage vision) into a clear, actionable roadmap.
Future-Proof Leadership - Develop habits and decision-making frameworks that will keep your school thriving in a changing landscape.
Culture That Lasts - Design and nurture a school culture rooted in belonging, purpose, and shared values - whether you're building it form scratch or strengthening what you've started.
Momentum Builders - Learn practical ways to generate early wins, build credibility, and create lasting excitement among students, families, and staff.
The Power of Partnerships - Identify and engage with community allies, funders, and collaborators who will fuel your mission long-term.
Navigating the Unknowns - Build the agility to respond well to unexpected challenges without derailing your vision.
Sustainability by Design - Align your financial, operational, and staffing decisions with the long-term vitality of your school.
Leadership for Human Flourishing - Cultivate rhythms of renewal, reflection, and courage to sustain your passion and effectiveness over the years
Beyond the Day
Your learning won't stop when the conference ends. Over the course of Spring 2026, there will be an opportunity to participate in one-day deep dives into the most critical topics from the September event.
During January-April 2026, we will host monthly intensive modules covering vision, model design, operations, culture, fundraising, enrollment, and leadership for sustained flourishing.

Actionable strategies for launch, growth, and resilience
Expert insight on legal, financial, and operational essentials
A network of mission-driven peers who understand your challenges and share your vision
