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. - Lisa Sanden
ONE-ON-ONE
EMERGENCE COACHING
OVERVIEW
At Sanden Consulting, we assume that we all have what we need to fulfill our potential. However, sometimes we get stuck and can’t see what is blocking us from being the person we want to be. This is where one-on-one Emergence Coaching comes in. In Emergence Coaching, you have the space you need to shine a light on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that may no longer be working and to allow fresh new thinking and feeling to emerge. By shining a light where there has been only shadow, you are more free to create what is possible for you in your relationships, career, health, and community.
PRICING
I know how much money teachers make. Especially Montessori teachers. I also know how important it is that you have support. While I do charge corporate clients $200 for a 50 minute individual session (and give discounted packages of 8 or 12 sessions when paid in advance), teachers get a special deal of $100 per 45 minute session. A limited number of need based discounts are also available. Please schedule a free 25 minute discovery session.
GROUP COACHING
TEACHERS
Anyone who has been a teacher knows how emotional the profession is. To be at our best with the children and families and to continue doing the job that we love and care so deeply about, we need support. Group coaching provides a place to work on our own emotional charges and upsets so that we can approach our teaching with fresh thinking and an open heart.
The pilot teacher group meets monthly for 60 minutes. Part of each session will be dedicated to learning about Social-Emotional Intelligence and how we can use our emotions as guides. During the remainder of the time, I have designed exercises to help teachers address their reactions and feelings towards specific children or classroom situations (including feelings towards parents, authorities, etc.) so that they can be unpacked and de-stressed.
A pilot is beginning in January, 2025.
PRICING
$50/month for the pilot starting in January.
ADMINISTRATORS
School administrators often work in the intersection of the parents, students, staff, and faculty, which can provide both tremendous challenges and tremendous opportunities. Having a place to celebrate the wins and work out the challenges and explore how they relate to the bigger picture of our lives can deeply support our work as well as our personal development. Group coaching can help us approach our work with fresh thinking and an open heart.
The administrator group meets monthly for 60 minutes. Part of each session will be dedicated to learning about Social-Emotional Intelligence and how we can use our emotions as guides. During the remainder of the time, individuals can opt to “work,” which means bringing in reactions and feelings towards specific situations (including feelings towards children, faculty and staff, parents, board members, etc) so that they can be unpacked and de-stressed.
A new cohort is beginning in January, 2025.

WORKSHOPS, TRAININGS,
& CONSULTING FOR SCHOOLS
Whether the team is a school faculty and staff or parent body, every team can learn to collaborate better, understand one another more fully, and work together more creatively. - Lisa Sanden
Workshops and Trainings
All school communities can benefit from deeper training in applied Social-Emotional Intelligence. At Sanden Consulting, I help teachers, staff, and parents collaborate and understand one another more deeply and avoid some of the unnecessary drama that can arise in schools. Whether for a full day, half day, or a couple of hours, I design and deliver workshops and trainings designed to meet the specific needs of each school.
Since workshops and trainings are always tailored to meet the specific needs of the client, pricing is highly dependent on topic, location, and timing. Please schedule a free 25 minute discovery session.

MONTESSORI SCHOOL CONSULTING-PRIMARY
I believe in using regular consulting to build on successes and to handle small gaps in practice before they become big ones. Of course I can come in to help when things are not going well, but I see consulting primarily as a way to build on teacher successes and deepen teaching practices.
I have more than15 years under my belt as an AMI school consultant and I am known for my understanding of Montessori practice, as well as my ability to build rapport, be direct, and have some humor and joy in the process. I have the ability to look at the school and classrooms with clear eyes. Of course, if you are an AMI school and have a required consultation coming up, please contact AMI/USA.
If your school can use either one-off or regular consulting to support primary teaching staff, please set up a discovery session. If you need consulting at multiple levels, I can put together a team to support all levels. Please schedule a free 25 minute discovery session.
