Coaching
Every leader needs a coach - in every season
Leadership isn’t meant to be lonely. Whether you’re in a season of growth, transition, or steady momentum, coaching can provide clarity, encouragement, and space to lead well. At NextEd, we offer one-on-one coaching rooted in experience, trust, and biblical wisdom.
Why Coaching Matters
Statistics show only 15% of people are self-aware to a healthy extent.
Coaching isn’t just for crisis moments—it’s for any leader who wants to grow. Like an athlete with a coach or a pastor with a mentor, school leaders thrive when they have someone in their corner. Our coaches are former Heads who know what it’s like to sit in your seat—and who care deeply about your growth, your clarity, and your calling.
Why NextEd’s Coaches?
- All coaches are former Heads of School with real experience
- Coaching is relational, not transactional
- We prioritize trust, confidentiality, and spiritual encouragement
- Conversations are framed by your goals—not a generic playbook
The impact of having a coach.
I have seen significant growth in our head of school by working with NextEd, especially in this past year in refining his leadership and ensuring his vision is clearly communicated and cascaded appropriately across the organization – vertically and horizontally. I am also encouraged at his growth managing crucial conversations and relationships to eliminate personal interest and focus on upholding policy for the betterment of the organization.

Having a Christian brother, friend, and mentor who could accurately and effectively read a situation, push me through a reflective process, and offer biblically sound guidance was immeasurable. It slowly built trust and camaraderie, empowering me to be the solution instead of seeking one. It was like having a guide take me into the cave and coach me to spelunk properly.
Head of School
NextEd’s coaching stretched me in ways I didn’t expect—but exactly where I needed to grow. I’m thankful for the wisdom, encouragement, and steady presence through some truly hard moments.
