I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the inaugural cohort of the Futurity Fellowship leadership development program for future COOs. It was an incredible journey, and I am deeply honored to have been selected for this esteemed program. Throughout the program, I had the privilege of demonstrating and refining my leadership skills in various capacities. The comprehensive curriculum, interactive sessions, and insightful seminars provided by Michael and Chrissy were instrumental in enhancing my understanding and application of effective leadership practices. I am particularly grateful for the professional development opportunities that allowed me to engage with esteemed coach and mentor Michael Ambriz and industry experts, whose guidance have been invaluable. I applied the learnings to real-world situations, leading to meaningful improvements in my professional endeavors. Futurity has not only enriched my leadership capabilities but also equipped me with a broader perspective on tackling challenges and fostering innovation. Additionally, the connections I made during the program have been immensely beneficial. Networking with fellow cohort members have provided me with a supportive community of like-minded professionals who are committed to making a positive impact in their organization. The collaborative collective project we undertook together has given me valuable insights and fostered lasting professional relationships in this work. I can't thank Michael Ambriz and Chrissy Burgess enough for their unwavering support, dedication and exceptional mentorship. The guidance and encouragement provided by the two of them and my fellow cohort members have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. I am proud to be a part of the inaugural cohort with Futurity Fellowship and look forward to contributing to its legacy in the future. I am excited to stay engaged with the community and continue applying the lessons learned to make a meaningful difference in my career and beyond. #Acuity #CharterSchoolGrowthFund #FuturityFellowship

Last week in Chicago, we concluded the Futurity Fellowship, marking the end of a transformative leadership journey for our inaugural cohort. It's been a privilege to learn from dedicated mentors like Michael Ambriz and Chrissy Burgess and to engage with passionate professionals throughout our sector. Though it's bittersweet to close this chapter, the friendships I've forged with fellow aspiring COOs have left me excited for what’s to come! Here’s to continued growth, deep relationships, and making a lasting impact! #TheeFirstClass #Futurity #ChangeManagement #Collective #G2 Thank you Charter School Growth Fund and Acuity Consultants!

My Futurity Fellowship has come to a successful completion! I have immense gratitude for my experience as a Futurity Fellow! As school operations leaders, we don't often find professional development opportunities tailored to our learning and growth. The Futurity Fellowship was designed by Chrissy Burgess and Michael Ambriz for senior school operations leaders, and it was exactly what I needed to build upon my adaptive leadership skills. We gained new leadership skills, received 1:1 coaching, solved real-world challenges, and built our network through engaging with various c-suite leaders. The COO seat doesn't seem so scary anymore! I'm honored to have shared this space of learning, growth, and love with twelve other amazing senior operations leaders from across the country! I'm excited to continue deepening our relationships and supporting each other through our school leadership journeys! Thank you Charter School Growth Fund, DC Prep, and Acuity Consultants for this amazing leadership development opportunity! Chrissy Burgess and Michael Ambriz, where do I sign up for the next fellowship opportunity?! #TheeFirstClass #FuturityFellowship

Last week I wrapped up the Futurity Fellowship. I'm overcome with gratitude. To Michael Ambriz and Chrissy Burgess - thank you for this opportunity, training, and inspiration. This fellowship has taught me new things, given me words for things I could never quite describe, and refreshed me on old things I once knew and had lost along the way. Thanks for making us feel safe, but uncomfortable (in a good way), so we could ultimately emerge more confident as leaders. To my fellow fellows - thank you for the pushes, the vulnerability, and the fellowship. You've made me both a better professional and better person. (Naiema N. Carolina & Patrice Moon, MBA - can't wait to chat next Monday!) To everyone in New Orleans - thank you Justin Pickel for the original nudge to apply (with the strong assist from my wife, Rebecca Motley). And the biggest thank you goes out to my team (Hilary, Gavin, Lucy Scholz, David Lawson, and Ricky) who held down the fort while I spent time away learning and growing. Can't wait to solve more problems for kids because of this experience!

👋 Meet our first Cohort of Futurity Fellows, and the next generation of COOs! https://lnkd.in/eNpHgNpe 🏔 We just got home from our 3rd Convening in Denver. This week we experienced productive struggle, strong connection, and measurable growth together. Thank you to our guest facilitators Serena Savarirayan and Andrew Stephenson; our guest panelists Serena and Andrew Goldin for sharing their insights on the COO relationship with their instructional counterparts; and to our sponsor Charter School Growth Fund for making it all possible. Thank you Fellows for continuing to show up for Futurity - we can't wait to close out our inaugural year with our 4th Convening in April!

Futurity Fellowship's second Convening is in the books! 🚀 The last three days with our Futurity Fellows were invigorating, insightful, and full of joyful community. We're so grateful to our guest facilitators Vanessa Segovia Barry and Anjali Featherstone for delivering rigorous content and sharing first hand insights into the COO role, and to our sponsor Charter School Growth Fund for making it all possible. We can't wait to see this next generation of COOs back in action at our next Convening in February! 👋
