TESTIMONIALS

"Three of us attended the strategy workshop and we found the guided discussions and activities were exactly what we needed to help us see our school experience more clearly. In fact, we've decided to bring YellowCar to our campus to give more school leaders and departments a chance to spend time intentionally reflecting on the school experience we offer. There are some conferences and workshops where you're really interested in just one session or speaker—this entire two-day workshop was filled with valuable content and opportunities for our team to thoughtfully look at our value proposition as a school. David and Suzette are talented facilitators and it's clear they have done a tremendous amount of research to build this workshop to meet real needs found across all schools. If you're going to do this, bring a friend because I believe you'll get the most out of this workshop when you have several colleagues with you."

Kyle Aldous, Singapore American School, Singapore

"There's often a tension in schools between the want to genuinely be of service and the desire to avoid coming off as servile.  When those two terms are conflated, trouble ensues and community suffers.  What I have always admired about the work [YELLOW CAR] catalyzes is that it allows schools to lean bravely into the former while deftly sidestepping the pitfalls associated with the latter.  For the educators who joined us at Avenues The World School's New York campus this spring, we walked away with clear, actionable approaches that put the focus on building intentional cultures of care, and we have David & Suzette to thank for creating an on-going professional circle that refuses to let us worry alone."

Drew Cortese, Avenues: The World School, New York

"[YELLOW CAR] is a step ahead of every other training course you could offer to yourself or your staff because, quite simply, they've been there in your position. Then, they have taken it further and reached out to create a community of others in the same roles to share ideas and resources. This workshop was more than just your usual run of the mill offering on improving customer service. It was simply brilliant. Please allow us to host again next year!"

"The Strategy Workshop was the perfect PD opportunity! The sessions were insightful, refreshing, and applicable to every school context. If you have the opportunity to join, make sure not to miss it. You will not regret it."

Alix Hernandez, Stamford American International School, Singapore

"This was in the words of the leaders 'a really positive investment of my time'. It enabled me to rethink strategy and experience amongst likeminded people with truly expert guidance in the form of David and Suzette!"

​

Michael Relf, International School of Basel, Switzerland

"I was a student of [YELLOW CAR] in the Amsterdam workshop. As a professional in Admissions and Marketing over the past two decades, having attended numerous professional learning events, I can say without a doubt that this was the most engaging, learning-filled and fun event I have taken part in, in a very long time. In a world where we seem to think the same words and even share missions and visions, I am absolutely sure that Advancement 2.0 by [YELLOW CAR] is the future and is going to revolutionize the way we do things in independent and international schools."

"The experience strategy workshop was something completely new for me. I never paid enough attention to notice certain aspects placed for the customers for them to have the best experience possible. I had the opportunity to learn and apply, in a small project, something extremely useful in any domain. Thank you very much David and Suzette for this amazing workshop!"

"Should you participate in [YELLOW CAR] PD? Yes! 100%. David and Suzette are skilled at clearly explaining the goal of each aspect of the PD, accessing each individual's experience, and fostering an environment that is comfortable so that the collective voice and learning progression of the group evolves. Bravo!"

Chris Russell, The Mabin School, Canada

"David and Suzette's approach was very responsive to the individuals in the group and the group as a whole. They flexed their content and approach to best allow the group to gain maximum experience learning from the workshop. The combination of great content and style of delivery lit a fire in the participants and propelled them to go forth and make things, break things, implement things and try new things at their own organizations."

"The two days we spent with [YELLOW CAR] was a powerful experience of intentional play, team building and strategic thinking. The learning engagements and stories shared were insightful and full of possibilities."

​

"Attending this professional development on school experience was a game-changer for me. The insights and strategies shared by the presenters have revolutionized the way I approach teaching and interacting with students.

I feel more confident in my ability to create a positive school experience for my students and am excited to implement what I learned in my classroom."
