Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Same Team Consulting offer in Boulder, CO, and across Colorado?
Same Team Consulting provides professional trainings and workshops, keynotes, leadership development, individual and team coaching, and culture-building services for schools and districts across the country
Do you offer virtual consulting services outside of Colorado?
Yes! While we're based in Boulder, CO, the majority of our clients are in other U.S. states and globally. We provide virtual coaching to individuals and teams at both the school and district level, as well as online trainings centered around family engagement best practices that connect to efforts around MTSS, SEL, reducing chronic absenteeism, etc.
How does Same Team Consulting support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work?
We specialize in guiding organizations through the complexities of DEI strategy and implementation, offering training, facilitation, and coaching that supports inclusive leadership and equitable systems. The heart of the teams-based framework we support schools and systems to implement is centered around including the voices of underrepresented families that have often been marginalized in the U.S. school system.
Who are your typical clients in Colorado and beyond?
Our typical coaching clients work at the school or district level. We help schools, districts, and counties/regions elevate their family engagement efforts through prioritizing best practices and often taking a team-based approach to family engagement, which helps distribute leadership and increase collaboration in this realm that is considered one of the five keys to moving from a good to great school or district. Coaching is often one-on-one with a school or district leader eager to have a seasoned thought partner that can help them implement best practices more strategically and efficiently. Coaching is regularly conducted with teams at either the school or district level that want to be more impactful in their family engagement efforts.
For keynotes and trainings, our typical clients are districts or counties that want to convene practitioners from across their region for meaningful learning sessions that lead to tangible action steps, or for schools that are committed to strengthening the quality of relationships and collaboration across their community. We aim to be for educator-family collaboration what PLCs have done for teacher collaboration – foster meaningful, ongoing, reciprocal partnerships.
What is organizational development and how can it help my Colorado-based team?
Organizational development focuses on aligning strategy, structure, and culture to improve team effectiveness. For Colorado-based organizations, we provide customized plans to help teams thrive through leadership alignment, trust-building, and clear communication.
Do you facilitate in-person workshops?
Yes, we offer both in-person and hybrid workshops in Colorado and across the country. Our in-person sessions are designed for leadership retreats, team off-sites, or one-day professional learning sessions. Most clients care about meaningful implementation of key learnings and long term results so they often hire us for coaching after training sessions.
What’s the difference between team coaching and individual leadership coaching?
Team coaching focuses on group dynamics, communication, and collective performance. Leadership coaching is one-on-one and helps individual leaders grow in emotional intelligence, clarity, and purpose—both are available to our Colorado clients and beyond.
