About Us

We help leaders improve leadership, develop human capital and boost organizational performance. We offer a full range of services to school districts and other organizations seeking to improve the performance of leaders and groups and sustain results. Through social entrepreneurial action we support improvement of education in Georgia and throughout the nation. We serve all sectors: education, health care, government, industry and small businesses.

We maintain a strategic partnership with Dr. Judith Hale (www.HaleAssociates.com) and the International Society for Performance Improvement (www.ISPI.org). Partnerships are a cornerstone of our practice. Our clients are our partners, and our partners are our clients. Through a collaborative arrangement with Willing Learner, Inc. and Hale Associates, the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) has developed standards and criteria to distinguish education practitioners and consultants who have proven they can produce results through a systematic process. Until the development of the Certified School Improvement Specialist (NSIS) designation, anyone could claim that they are professionals in school  improvement. At the same time, practitioners have been asking for a credential that would help them assess their ability, better focus their professional development efforts, and recognize their capability. In response to this need, the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) developed a program through which individuals can apply to receive the evidence-based designation of Certified School Improvement Specialists.
