“We engaged Dr. Andrew Taylor to work with us on a comprehensive review and analysis of our existing daily schedule, which included a full review of our school’s program. Andrew met with many members of the community online and in person and then was on campus for 5 days total over two separate visits. We were thrilled with him work in every way. Andrew is professional, communicative, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He customized several pieces of the consultation based on our unique needs, and the deliverables were just what we had hoped for. I would gladly re-engage with him in the future.
Highly recommended!!!”

“Dear Dr. Holmes,
On behalf of NYSAIS and our board of trustees, I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude for your insightful presentation, “Building a Compelling Positioning and Reputation: Enact a 5 Step Whole of School Strategy Process,” at our recent trustee conference.
Your five-step process was both comprehensive and highly practical. Our trustees particularly appreciated your emphasis on the importance of community engagement and the strategic alignment of school values with external perception. The concepts you presented provided a clear and actionable roadmap for our schools to strengthen their unique positioning and reputation within their communities.
The on-site feedback we’ve received from the trustees has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have already begun discussing how to apply your principles to their own institutions. Your talk has not only inspired us but has also equipped our leadership with the tools they need to drive meaningful change.”

“This year I have been extremely fortunate to engage Dr Stephen Holmes and his services on several occasions in assisting our primary school in building a strong reputation plan. Firstly, he worked with my school within a cluster setting and then later this year, Stephen presented at our school with an innovative and personalised workshop. I am impressed with the way Stephens’ services are based on current research and his professionalism is evident at all times. Feedback from staff and parents has acknowledged the way he breaks down his content into practical and effective steps. As a first time Principal this year, I have appreciated the way he has also made himself available as a mentor whereby he is always happy to reply to an email in between sessions when I have asked for ideas, feedback or professional reading.”
