The What
At Thread Education, we empower workplace leaders* to:
1. Elevate and prioritize employee culture - cultivating higher retention rates and a positive learning environment where all individuals thrive.
2. Create sustainable organizations that support current initiatives and are in alignment with future goals.
3. Bring wellness into the workplace through various modalities to support the 8 dimensions of wellness for all employees and leaders.
*While we work primarily in K-12 schools, our partnerships extend to higher education institutions and small businesses with goals that align to our mission.
The Why
The current state of the workplace has amplified challenges existing within organizations, and is causing harmful impacts to the humans behind the jobs. These include:
The national teacher shortage
“Quiet Quitting”
Burnout
Increase in school violence and mental health crises
At Thread Education, our goal is to be part of the solution.
The How
At Thread Ed., we believe in initiating change by leading with core values. Click each one to uncover how they show up in our work with organizational leaders.
-
Authenticity is often perceived as the most fundamental aspect of well-being.
According to researcher and professor Brené Brown, “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.”
Leading is human work. It takes vulnerability, courage, and strength. When we show up as our authentic selves in the workplace, foster acceptance for differences, and unite through our collective strengths, there’s more room for learning, reflecting, and trying again - and less space for blame and shame.
-
Strong determination is the element that fires change. Transformation happens when you pair consistency with willpower, and this value encapsulates this process.
Organizations that embody this value not only in their work, but also through their relationships in the workplace, are destined for success.
We understand that determination to disrupt systems that have historically yielded less than desirable outcomes is tough work; that’s why our programming helps you build this value from the very beginning.

“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”
― Shunryu Suzuki
Growth begins with the acknowledgement that there is always something to be learned - whether in the moment or in reflection of the past.
We believe that the purpose of learning is to work the muscles of the mind, and to remain open to new opportunities and possibilities. This build skills of resilience and adaptation, which are crucial for our ever-evolving world.
-
We know that it is possible to grow without pausing to reflect. Reflection is a value that all successful leaders must embody to achieve continued success. Reflection offers the necessary pause that we often put off in our busy, day-to-day lives. It gives us a chance to be honest with ourselves without judgment.
Reflection can be a great tool when utilized with sincerity, and it anchors us in the work we do. All of our programming includes reflective tools that can be recycled for various usage within your organization.
-
Harmony allows for differences to exist while relying on similarities to be a unifying force. Harmony in the workplace can be achieved only when we genuinely know the people who are serving alongside us, day in and day out.
We’re passionate about helping organizations learn their employees in an authentic, seamless, and meaningful way.
-
Feeling a sense of belonging and value in the workplace requires a genuine desire for an organization’s leaders to connect with their people. We do this by providing tools and strategies that help you forge and strengthen relationships with your staff.
The power of positive connection yields the result of people feeling this sense of belonging and value in the workplace, which is claimed by research to be one of the antidotes to burnout.
-
This value keeps us motivated and helps us remain committed to our work. As former teachers and school leaders, we’ve learned through experience that balance fosters longevity.
We bring teaching and tools around this value to help instill this ideal as a value within organizations. Similar to connection, this value alone, when delivered with integrity, serves as a solution for retention and combatting burnout.
