Background and Discussion
In Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the Human Recourses Team conducted “pilot” groups to gauge the impact of and satisfaction with various learning and development and coaching programs. Part of this included working with Thrive Mind Collaborative, who provided coaching and consulting services for 6 months. With great success and desirable outcomes, including high satisfaction and a desire to continue from participants, we are now moving forward with Thrive Mind Collaborative as our consulting and coaching partner. With 12 years of experience in leadership, operations, and learning and development, the lead coach working with EBCE will provide consulting services, including an executive coaching program, emerging leaders coaching program, staff workshops and training, and other related support or consulting services. Several other consultants and coaching programs were part of the pilot last Fiscal Year, and Thrive Mind Collaborative is the chosen partner moving forward.
Fiscal Impact
This is an annual agreement for one year and may incur costs of up to $130,000.00 in the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year.
