Navigating Life's Challenges
with Lightness and Affection

Life can hand us many challenges and if we can hold the challenges (and messiness) with some lightness and affection for ourselves, it goes a long way. What people say about me is that I approach coaching, consulting, and training using a unique combination of straight talk, humor, and care.

Sanden Consulting’s mission is for all educators to have deeply rewarding and sustainable careers in which they are growing as much as their students.

“DON’T WASTE TIME THINKING OF WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD AHEAD AND DO IT  DIFFERENTLY NOW.”

LET’S CHAT

  • Sanden Consulting has been an invaluable part of our team this year. With two newly trained AMI Primary guides, Lisa Sanden has provided the support and coaching that every new teacher desires. Observing first and allowing the guides to lead the conversation, she meets them where they are and empowers them with ideas and suggestions. Her guidance is based on extensive AMI Montessori education and experience. Having recently led a Children’s House classroom, her consulting is based on real-world, relevant situations. Our guides have felt supported, and the children are thriving.

  • Over the past ten years I have had the privilege of attending several workshops given by Lisa Sanden and I always leave inspired. Lisa is able to turn complex topics into relevant information that can be used immediately within the school environment, something our staff greatly appreciates. Dynamic, funny, and immensely interesting, she uses relatable examples that keep her audiences engaged. There is usually a line of attendees waiting to talk with her when she finishes, which she happily gives her individual attention. It is always uplifting to attend a presentation or workshop given by Lisa Sanden.
