Success Stories
"Although I had held a variety of leadership roles prior to working with Aundrey, my experience with him was the first time I had ever been explicitly coaching on anything related to leadership and the mindsets and beliefs that come with it. In my time working with Aundrey, I received so many outcomes, both personally and professionally! Aundrey does not just talk the talk, he walks the walk. Not only did he take the time to model the moves he coached me on, including challenging limiting beliefs, he also intentionally held space for me to unpack his actions in order to gain a deeper understanding of how to lead authentically. From the start, his investment in my ability and genuine belief that I would grow as a leader kept me coming back to work with him. He shows up 100% on his end and will continuously put the work in to see those he works with grow and develop through clarity, intentionality, feedback, reflection, and tangible takeaways to implement right away. As a result of working with Aundrey, I improved my practice in coaching others with both technical and adaptive skills. Additionally, I am now fearless in setting a vision as a leader, investing others in that vision, and having the difficult conversations needed to ensure that vision grows!"

"Before working with Aundrey, I felt stagnant and frustrated because my previous coaches always said I met the baseline criteria and would never push me to do more. I felt like I never received real “coaching” in my educational career. The coaching that I received from Aundrey really allowed me to develop more as a leader and as an educator. I feel that my leadership skills were sharpened because he challenged me to walk in my purpose. By building a solid relationship, I felt that he was trustworthy and that he had my best interest at heart. Because I could trust Aundrey, I knew that the things he was telling me or encouraging me to do were going to be helpful. Having a coach in life is a way to better yourself more than you even realize so take a chance and JUST DO IT! I guarantee that you will receive coaching that is tailored to you and not just generic “help”. You will be empowered to be their best selves."

"Mr. Aundrey Page has been the best coach and trainer I have had in my 17 years in education. He supported me with clear objectives and always pushed my thinking which continuously allowed me to grow. He constantly pushed me to improve upon my craft through his direction and support. One of the skills, in particular, that I developed directly from Mr. Page's modeling and coaching was leading a school-wide professional development for a group of over 40 staff members. I was always eager for our next coaching session because I received positive outcomes and growth from the teachers I was coaching after implementing the feedback. I would highly recommend Mr. Page because not only is he very skillful at what he does, he also builds strong, dependable professional relationships. I now feel confident and prepared to lead teams that I support as I enter my new position of Assistant Principal!"

"Before Aundrey, I had very little formal coaching on developing relevant skills required to be successful in any role - teacher or school administrator. The results I experienced by working with Aundrey were transformative in both my professional and personal life. Professionally, I became a better instructional coach in one year with Aundrey than I could have imagined as we would meet weekly without fail, each meeting was structured yet flexible with a clear goal that would work towards while also having scheduled time to address the most pressing needs that might not have made our agenda. Personally, Aundrey saw the best in me, even when I didn’t see it myself. He empowered me and supported me in initiatives, modeled vulnerability and asked for assistance when he needed it, and rarely shot ideas down; he instead would find ways to make people’s passion projects all work together. Aundrey is a shoulder-to-shoulder coach, meaning he will meet you where you are, identify your goals, learn what he needs to learn to support, and walk in step with you until the goals are met. His communication is top notch and he is always open, honest, vulnerable, and clear. This clarity made working with Aundrey easy and fun! Also, Aundrey is a “listen first” type of coach. He has so much compassion and empathy for whomever he is working with and will always do his best (which is damn good) to meet you where you are and see the experience from your perspective. He asks such timely and reflective questions that made me reflect deeply and honestly about my actions and experiences. Coaching is a personal and professional cheat code to life. We can only experience our lives from the first person, meaning we can only be observant of so much from our own senses. To have a trusted, experienced coach like Aundrey as another set of eyes on your experience and provide meaningful, direct, objective, and often immediate feedback on strengths and areas of growth will get you to your desired goals so much faster."

"In the past my coaches had an idea of what they wanted from me and coached me on how to meet their vision and goals. It was as if I was a factory worker on an assembly line where I was only to do specific actions in order to produce specific outcomes. Everything was either success or failure. There was no grey area. In my first consultation with Aundrey he flipped the conversation on its head and helped me figure out what I wanted before coaching me on how to get there. He set up our coaching relationship to be about success in my own outcomes and pride in my work, instead of working for the pride of others. Aundrey coached me into having the confidence and initiative to create community engagement events that fostered deep relationships on our campus. With his help I not only designed engaging community events for our school and local community, but I also coached the student leaders on our campus into creating their own successful events on our campus. Prior to Aundrey's leadership we seldom had school events. After Aundrey started coaching me our student leaders put on canned food drives, toy drives, holiday parties, school decorations, cultural recognitions that made everyone feel seen and recognized, a winning soccer team, and students that mentored each other rather than tear each other down. Aundrey will take something that you've heard or seen a million times and show you a new perspective that you hadn't seen before. The only reason you should be on the fence about working with him is if you aren't ready to grow. I have without a doubt grown in my identities and leadership skills. I am better at creating an educational environment centered on acceptance of mistakes with the promise of growth. I see feedback as an act of love and respect, rather than admonishment. Imagine if everyone where you work had those same benefits? The environment would be safe, productive, and constantly improving."
