Overview
Ask 2000+ Heads of Schools, CEO’s, HR directors, and Deans, “How did you handle that crisis?” They would tell you how COS helped – on discipline, policies, employee issues, parents and more. We are subject-matter experts with decades of lived practical application. We stay current by staying in the trenches every day with our clients. We work onsite with hundreds annually—we stay on the pulse of problems and best practice solutions.
We will not tell you what you want to hear, or what your Board wants to hear, or what your parents want to hear. We tell you what you must hear. We are outsiders with objectivity, not agendas. We do not sell products; we provide options and recommendations.
We ask the questions you miss. We analyze your situation, and then give you the data and options to make your best choices.

“I offer our unqualified and enthusiastic support for COS and Katie’s work. We have engaged Katie’s team for faculty training, for targeted class training, and for all school training/conversation. Katie has worked with us to tailor her team’s presentations to our specific needs and to dovetail with our community life and human development programs. We have benefited from Katie’s and her teams’ on-going presence at the front edge of national conversations. Working with Katie and COS has made our school better and our work in this incredibly challenging area easier.”
