This is not surface-level coaching or motivational conversation. I use these 1:1 strategic sessions with leaders who need clarity, direction, and decisive next steps. If you’re navigating leadership challenges, career transitions, high-stakes decisions, or system-level problems, this is a focused, confidential space built for action. Every session is built around your real context, your real constraints, and the outcomes you actually want. No fluff. No filler. Just clear strategy and forward movement.
1:1 Strategic Coaching Session
Bring ONE problem. Leave with the plan, the words, and the next steps.
If you’re dealing with a specific situation and it’s living rent-free in your brain, this is for you.
This is not “general leadership advice.” This is a 60-minute, get-in-get-it-done strategy session with Leigh, The Unorthodox Principal, a leader who has worked in urban and rural districts, navigated bond issues, served as a Missouri superintendent thought partner, and led in Title I and alternative settings across Pre-K–12. Leigh has knocked on doors for home visits, and she’s created big-time opportunities for kids, including flying 2nd–4th graders to ISTE to present on a national stage.
Most importantly: Leigh works with principals and schools every single day. You are not getting “out-of-the-game” consultant fluff. You’re getting real-life leadership strategy that works in real schools with real humans.
In this session, we will:
- Get crystal clear on what’s actually happening (not the watered-down version)
- Identify your best move and your riskiest blind spot
- Map the players, the pressure points, and what could go sideways
- Build a simple step-by-step plan you can actually follow
- Write the language for the conversation you’ve been avoiding
You leave with:
A clear decision, a clear plan, and scripts you can use immediately.
This is for: one urgent issue, one messy situation, one high-stakes conversation, one major decision.

1:1 Strategic Coaching | 3-Session Bundle
For principals who are tired of putting out fires and ready to take their building back.
Some problems are not “one-call fixes” because the issue has layers:
staff dynamics + student behavior + family pushback + your own bandwidth.
This package is for the leader who’s doing everything they can, and still feels like the building is pulling them in 47 directions.
In three sessions, Leigh becomes your in-the-trenches strategic coach. You’ll stop second-guessing your decisions and start leading with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
How we use the 3 sessions:
- Triage + Clarity
- What matters most right now
- What’s noise
- What to address first so you gain traction fast
- Strategy + Language
- Scripts for staff/family conversations
- Boundaries and follow-through that match your values
- A plan that protects you and moves the work forward
- Execution + Adjust
- What happened, what worked, what did not
- How to tighten your approach and prevent repeats
- How to keep momentum without burning out
You leave with:
A strategy you can repeat, not just a temporary fix.
This is for: principals navigating multiple issues, culture tension, staff accountability, discipline systems, family conflict, leadership confidence, and those “I need someone to talk this through with NOW” moments.

1:1 Strategic Coaching | 5-Session Bundle
For principals who want a real thought partner and a leadership game plan that holds up all year.
This is the highest level of support, and it’s built for leaders who are done doing it alone.
With 5 sessions, Leigh is not just helping you “solve a problem.” She’s helping you build your leadership plan and your leadership presence. This is where you stop reacting and start leading with a system.
And let me be clear: Leigh is not a consultant who has been out of schools for years. She works with principals and schools constantly. She knows what today’s buildings feel like. She knows what you’re up against. She knows how fast things change. And she will tell you the truth, while having your back the whole way.
Across 5 sessions, we build:
- A customized plan for your biggest pressure points (so you’re not blindsided)
- A leadership approach that fits YOUR style, not a cookie-cutter formula
- Communication moves that reduce drama and increase clarity
- A “hard conversation” playbook (what to say, what not to say, what to document, what to do next)
- A sustainable 30–60–90 day plan so you can lead without losing yourself
You leave with:
Your strategy. Your scripts. Your plan. Your confidence.
This is for: principals leading through staff culture issues, heavy student needs, community tension, big change, or anyone who wants to level up fast with high support and real strategy.
