Healthy Boards make time to lift their gaze to identify and discuss long-term opportunities and challenges, so they are best positioned to thrive into the future. It was a pleasure to facilitate a Board retreat with the talented leaders of Walden School. Walden is a K-12 independent school community where all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Their students benefit from personalized learning, hands-on experiences, and connections to nature in an environment that celebrates individuality.
