The Challenge

Our client was a widely regarded school superintendent from a mid-sized district and a long-shot candidate for the top schools jobs in one of the country’s largest education departments. Their interview was two weeks away. High-profile detractors with national influence were gearing up to fight their selection. The client needed high-level and rapid-fire coaching to keep out of the weeds and focused on their message

The Solution

Half Street Group quickly tailored a coaching and training curriculum and developed a clearcut leadership profile and natural narrative arc. Across a series of one-on-one training sessions, we coached our client to use stories of student success and examples of impactful collaboration with their detractors’ allies to inoculate against ideological criticism and false narratives.

The Impact

Rhode Island’s housing crisis was reaching a tipping point. Covid only made it worse. After nearly a decade of incremental progress at the State House, one organization took charge to help secure a once-in-a-generation public investment in housing.
