Olson Consulting Team

 

We believe that leadership, specifically the principalship, is a key ingredient to the most successful schools.  We believe it is our responsibility to develop the capacity of both the principal and school leadership teams.  We believe that having a trusted coach to support the principal’s and leadership team’s growth is a key accelerator to school improvement, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes.  The most successful principals and leadership teams can benefit from an experienced, knowledgeable, and trusted coach.
