Our executive coaches understand your challenges
HYA offers an executive coaching program that is unique in the coaching industry—featuring respected and successful coaches with deep backgrounds in pre-K through post-high school education. Most of our coaching associates began their careers as classroom teachers around the country, eventually developing into successful school leaders at the building and district levels before pursuing additional education and certifications as executive coaches. Our coaches understand the unique challenges facing today’s school leaders and are passionate about shaping and supporting leaders for success that translates into improved student performance and staff and community engagement over time.
Executive coaching is a targeted leadership development process designed to meet the unique needs of individual leaders and teams. An external leadership coach is a “thought partner” whose specific purpose is to support the development of a leader’s personal and professional potential in concert with the mission, vision, and values of the coaching client’s sponsoring organization.
Our customized, tailored approach to leadership development is an investment designed to enhance performance and help school leaders gain the leadership competencies and confidence necessary to maximize their impact on their organizations and with their teams. Through the coaching partnership, school leaders gain a heightened level of self-awareness and self-efficacy while strengthening their school leadership competencies as they prepare students for success in school and in life.
Leadership development, when done correctly, has a direct impact on organizational and student success.
