External School Partner Wins

Acies Strategies and the Dean’s Roundtable

Acies Strategies and the Dean’s Roundtable are both committed to supporting school leaders to lead with clarity. When Brooke Carroll of Acies and Bridget Johnson of Dean’s Roundtable met through School Partner Connect, they quickly discovered that their shared mission extends even further: to schools’ boards of trustees. After initial conversations, the two organizations partnered to create a Challenging Conflict Response Policy for boards, filling a need each has seen across the sector. What’s more, the two organizations are partnering to host workshops on the topic for small schools across the country.

"Joining Lead Team Partners has been one of my best business decisions. As an external partner, I appreciate their efficient process, which seamlessly links me with school leaders who need support in my area of expertise. They take the time to understand the services offered by each external partner, which allows for an easy match with school leaders and facilitates effective collaboration."

"I am so glad Chris is facilitating the School Partner Connect! It has benefited me in several ways: I have connected with other consultants with whom I am now collaborating, I have had several opportunities to offer proposals for work projects, and I have participated in sessions with Association leaders. All of this has been valuable to me. I've also referred several of my client schools to School Partner Connect for other work and they have found it beneficial. This is a great service!"

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” This quote perfectly reflects what Chris is building. As a natural connector, he has brought together a group of exceptional companies—each strong on its own but collectively, an unstoppable force.

Beyond assembling this remarkable group, Chris himself is an invaluable thought partner, accessible and insightful. Through this network, I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible individuals whose work complements my own, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together. Thanks to Chris, we are stronger and better equipped to make great impact."
