Comments from Our Education Clients

"Sherry Schiller's work is a catalyst for positive change. She has an innate ability to immediately identify areas of concern in an organization and then assist the management in constructively transforming the environment of these areas. The organization can then begin to initiate and experience greater success and genuine growth as a whole. Sherry's work with the Shanghai American School has been an invaluable tool to help propel our organization to achieve a higher level of excellence."

"Effective board governance is a key to success in our diverse international school environment, where constant change and divergent perspectives are the norm. While attending the international school Heads conference in San Francisco, in February of 2004, my Board President and I attended a session on governance and leadership by Dr. Sherry Schiller. We were impressed by her presentation and by the strategies she shared that could be of value to our school. Follow-up meetings resulted in our school's Board of Directors inviting Dr. Schiller to conduct a training workshop on the characteristics of effective Boards at our school. Her informative and helpful workshop was so highly valued that we are currently making arrangements for her to conduct a follow-up visit to assist us in developing specific implementation strategies leading to a more efficient and purposeful Board governance model for Nido deAguilas. If your school is seeking someone who can provide informative, practical, and results oriented outcomes, I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Schiller."

"Dr. Schiller has skillfully helped us lead this large system through two comprehensive strategic planning processes in the past ten years. Both times the results have been truly exceptional."

"The Minnetonka Public School District has benefited tremendously from Sherry Schiller's expertise, knowledge, and hands-on experience in the area of strategic planning. We have received top-notch, personalized service that will help our organization continually improve."
