What We
Offer

COACHING

Educational leaders today are confronted with ever-increasing demands and an array of complex challenges that can hinder progress in their institutions. As a long-serving vice president and dean I understand the exact pressures, obstacles, and hard-earned lessons that school and college leaders encounter daily.

 

JTC coaching is shaped by CTI training, informed by extensive experience in college leadership, and structured to help educational leaders build stronger teams, foster innovation for change, and transform the programs and institutions they lead.  

​

FOCUS GROUPS

While quantitative data provides the foundation for understanding institutional performance, qualitative probing is often essential to fully understanding what is driving particular issues or behaviors on campus. JTC leads focus groups – either as part of a large-scale study or to obtain quick, targeted feedback– to help institutions get a more fulsome and nuanced understanding of factors driving a particular question or issue.

RETREATS & MEETINGS

JTC develops and facilitates planning retreats and meetings, fostering collaboration and innovation among leadership teams, committees, and boards.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

JTC conducts workshops on a wide range of strategic and management skills to equip your staff with the knowledge and skills they need to excel.

BIRKMAN CERTIFIED

As a certified Birkman consultant, I leverage the Birkman Method to enhance executive coaching, team-building, and professional development for individuals, groups, and organizations.

STRATEGIC PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

JTC offers expert guidance to develop strategic plans tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your institution or department is on the path to success.

JTC Coaching Plus for Emerging College Leaders

JTC Coaching Plus for Emerging College Leaders is a six-month program that provides personalized professional development through individual and group coaching that helps mid-career administrators develop skills and competencies that will not only support them in their career but will also enhance organizational effectiveness and leadership capacity of colleges and universities. (Click here for full program prospectus.)

PROGRAM REVIEWS & STUDIES

External review of key programs and initiatives provides invaluable insight that leads to greater effectiveness, increased efficiency, and better student outcomes. JTC conducts and/or supports campus leaders in all aspects of program reviews or topic-specific studies, including but not limited to: collecting and evaluating data, benchmarking, topical research, consulting appropriate experts and/or key stakeholders, and preparing and presenting final reports.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATIONS

JTC assists with all aspects of crisis management and communications, offering training at all levels to ensure your organization is prepared for any challenge.

BOARD SUPPORT

JTC works closely with senior leaders to prepare and lead presentations and working sessions for boards and board committees.

JTC provides a comprehensive range of coaching and strategic services for schools and colleges designed to empower institutions, divisions, and departments to achieve their goals and enhance their effectiveness.

Strategic Partner Program

The Strategic Partner Program (SPP) enables JTC to provide experienced, confidential, senior-level support on a wide range of services in a highly cost-effective way because it is built upon the premise of establishing and maintaining long-term, continuing relationships with client institutions. As a strategic partner, with institutional knowledge and working relationships with on-campus staff, JTC is readily able to carry out long- or short-term projects, deliver valuable real-time crisis response support, help manage staff turnover and transitions, and serve as a valuable thought partner to leaders at all levels of your organization.

A Creative Strategic Thinker

“I have relied on Jim’s professionalism and wisdom for over two decades. He brings a thorough understanding of the full range of challenges and opportunities faced by student development teams. He is a fantastic coach for staff at any level, a creative strategic thinker, and the person you want by your side when you are managing tough crises. Our student development teams are working in environments where the scope and volume of work is increasing at breathtaking speed. Jim can help fill holes and develop long-term plans. In this current environment, we need more former VPs to provide these kinds of services.”
