First Choice University Blueprint


Let’s Design a First Choice University for Students and Employees

The First Choice University Blueprint™ is a comprehensive one, two, or three-year engagement that transforms your leadership ecosystem through integrated executive and team coaching, leadership development, and succession planning.

Working closely with your team through targeted coaching, training, and consulting services, we create a customized blueprint that:

  • Aligns seamlessly with your institution’s strategic plan

  • Fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation

  • Builds resilient leadership capabilities across all institutional levels

  • Empowers leaders to drive meaningful, student-centered change

From department chairs to the President’s Cabinet, this proven approach ensures your leaders have the tools, support, and resources they need to drive meaningful institutional change while building sustainable succession pathways for the future.

Together, we’ll move past the “This is the way we’ve always done it” mentality and create a First Choice University for students and employees.

Our executive and team coaching methodology goes beyond traditional approaches by:

  • Creating interconnected leadership development across your entire division or institution

  • Designing custom interventions tailored to your unique institutional context

  • Implement adaptive strategies with systematic ongoing support

  • Building organizational capacity for continuous improvement

We treat leadership teams as interconnected systems, turning fragmented and siloed structures into holistic, collaborative networks.

We don't just coach individuals; we transform entire leadership ecosystems, nurturing the agility and resilience needed to thrive in today's rapidly changing higher education landscape. This systemic approach helps institutions facing critical challenges—from declining enrollments to increased financial pressures—align institutional vision with operational reality.

The First Choice University Blueprint addresses the root causes of organizational challenges and institutional inertia, creating sustainable leadership practices while positioning institutions to become more responsive, innovative, and student-centered. 

The First Choice University Blueprint is not just a coaching engagement—it's a transformative partnership that unlocks the full potential of your leadership teams.
