Summer 2026 cohort paused
The July 2026 Intensive is on hold. Hannah is focused on the Leadership Circle year-long cohort and Direct Counsel engagements this summer. The next Intensive cohort is planned for Summer 2027 — dates to be announced. Join the waitlist to be notified first, or ask about Leadership Circle and Direct Counsel.
Leadership Intensive
Three days. Real cases. A cohort that carries you.
A multi-day deep immersion into Montessori leadership practice. Not a workshop — a working cohort where leaders bring real situations, build shared language, and leave with decisions they can act on immediately.
Next cohort: Summer 2027 · Live Online · Dates to be announced
Waitlist members are notified before public registration opens.
This Intensive is intentionally scheduled before the school year begins — while there is still space to think clearly, not just react.
This is structured time to step out, examine your leadership in context, and enter the year with a plan — not just intentions.
What Makes It Different
Not a workshop. Not a retreat. A working cohort.
Most leadership programs stay abstract. The Intensive works in the specific:
These are examined through Montessori principles and organizational frameworks that hold up under pressure.
You leave with language that travels — and a cohort that understands exactly what you’re navigating.
What We Cover
Six domains of Montessori leadership.
01
Organizational Leadership
How Montessori principles translate into organizational design — culture, decision-making structures, and accountability systems.
02
Adult Culture
The norms, structures, and leadership behaviors that create a thriving adult community — not by accident, but by design.
03
Communication & Difficult Conversations
The full arc of communication as a leadership tool — from faculty meetings to board reports to the conversation no one wants to have.
04
Decision-Making Under Pressure
Frameworks for making principled decisions when the stakes are high, the information is incomplete, and the pressure is real.
05
Strategic Planning & Enrollment
How to think about organizational direction, growth, and the relationship between mission clarity and enrollment health.
06
Leading Change & Transition
How to lead through change — planned and unplanned — without losing staff trust, community coherence, or organizational momentum.
Structure
Three days. Three phases.
Day 1 — Foundation
Shared language for leadership grounded in Montessori and organizational dynamics.
Day 2 — Cases
Real scenarios. Peer analysis. Facilitated synthesis.
Day 3 — Practice
Your leadership plan — what changes, what stays, what starts now.
Outcomes
What you carry out of the room.
The Intensive is designed for transfer — not just insight, but change. Leaders who attend consistently report the same cluster of outcomes.
Who It’s For
For leaders ready to go deeper.
