From 1:1 coaching sessions to network engagement strategies, SchermCo delivered just what was needed. Whenever we had questions or required additional guidance, SchermCo was there to provide quality assistance. GardHouse has definitely benefited tremendously from SchermCo’s services.

SchermCo delivered high-quality project management support to the Jacksonville Public Education Fund, and we truly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to work with them! Hope to do so again in the near future!

We engaged SchermCo to help us conduct a feasibility study to understand how we could better support educators of color in our school district. Their focus on equity and ability to work with a variety of stakeholders allowed us to collect actionable feedback that we could implement right away.

“SchermCo was instrumental in helping me achieve my goal of establishing an out-of-school time intermediary for our community. Greg’s expertise and professionalism helped us meet a critical need for Charlotte youth. SchermCo is a key partner in addressing challenges and opportunities in any community.”

“From providing a clear framework and schedule for our project to conducting role-play sessions to teach us how to pitch our new services, Greg & SchermCo strengthened our skills and helped us develop a business plan that allows us to serve more students on their life-changing path to college.”

“I found Greg to be inquisitive and able to ask the right questions to get beyond the superficial.  This quality solicited the details needed to move our work forward with a full understanding and context.  This curious nature coupled with being a good listener increased efficiency and effectiveness of our partnership and ultimately resulted in success for the project.“

“The incredible work Greg and his team did for our staff culture was evident immediately. Three years later, I continue to see the benefits of their expertise as we deal with the many changes and difficulties of COVID-19. Greg and his team helped us pinpoint our shared values and beliefs. As a result, we were able to reset and realign to ensure we serve our students, families, and each other, to the fullest extent possible. A positive staff culture was critical to our ability to be fluid with the changes from remote to in-person instruction. I am grateful SchermCo helped us establish a strong foundation to be able to ride the waves of changes and be successful amid a pandemic.”
