"I highly recommend Brooke's services to any school leader seeking to bring his/her team to a higher level of engagement, communication, and collaboration. Her work was outstanding, and I am already thinking of the next opportunity in which our school may benefit from her services."
John Huber, Head of School, The Emerson School
"Recently we held one of the most effective 2 hour professional training sessions with Dr. Brooke Carroll. Dr. Carroll lead the team of teachers, admin staff and professionals through a leadership session that was designed to foster a sense of collaboration and connection among team members and to begin to articulate individual and group goals. Dr. Carroll is highly skilled, very pleasant and incredibly inspiring. She allowed each of the staff members to express themselves, and evoked the most important issues while taking care of sensitive feelings. It was a remarkable session and I highly recommend her."
