Lydia is hands down one of the best leaders I've worked with in my career. She is warm, empathetic and caring, all while driving results and outcomes in big ways. Lydia's ability to push one's thinking, offer feedback and support and scope out big, overwhelming projects into actionable tasks means that she gets exceptional results for her teams. Lydia is the BEST. She truly cares about the work and the people she works with - and it shows in her results. Her focus on details allows her to get super in the weeds of a project or problem, while also having the ability to see the bigger picture vision. Her years of working in and around schools and nonprofits has led to her being able to navigate complex issues with ease and grace. I would not be the leader I am today if I wasn't coached by Lydia early in my career!

Many are forever grateful to have Lydia in their corner as a mentor, leader, and visionary who centers decisions around human values and the power of individual success.

Lydia's passion, experience, and deep belief in what is possible for students and communities make her a coach you want to have in your corner.  As my Principal, Lydia was a wonderful leader who would guide, model, show, and work shoulder to shoulder with her entire team.  With Lydia at the helm, nothing was impossible and her zest for problem solving collaboratively was inspiring.  Her vision and her work ethic, as well as her ability to build strong relationships with students, families, staff, and community members, was always apparent.  Lydia will ask the important questions to help you identify your priorities, develop new tactics and solutions, and align your work with the highest leverage strategies that will propel your growth.  She will also bring empathy, guidance, thought partnership, and humor to your coaching journey and you'll begin to develop new habits that help you, your team, and your community thrive.
