Walk with Me

We're taking a deep dive into the real stories - no complicated corporate speak here. Through in-depth conversations with 50 leaders across different sectors, we're uncovering how raising children, especially those with learning differences, has transformed their approach to leadership. We're not just collecting stories - we're documenting a shift in how we understand leadership. The lessons are life changing in their simplicity.

Math Has a Problem

We took on the math learning difference nobody's talking about - dyscalculia. It's like dyslexia's mathematical cousin that's been misunderstood and massively overlooked. This reflection of our lessons learned shows that the real problem is our educational system is failing students who struggle in math. But this isn't just about math. This is about how we see potential.

Learning Differences

The GEN-Ed team has pioneered innovative approaches to support diverse learning needs in the classroom and in afterschool programming. They partner with school leaders and educators to design learning environments where neurodiversity is not just accommodated but celebrated. Their proven track record empowers faculty to build robust support systems for students with learning differences. GEN-Ed helps schools transform traditional classrooms into dynamic spaces with high belonging for different learning styles. They can support development of in-school, afterschool or contracted services to meet students where they are.

Amplifying Voices

Central to Liz's approach is the art of deep listening and authentic storytelling. She creates spaces where educators, leaders, and community members can share their experiences and insights, ensuring that diverse perspectives shape the future of education. By amplifying these voices, she uncovers patterns of success, challenges to address, and innovative solutions that might otherwise go unheard.
