Testimonials

  • Jess's first hand experience in designing values aligned recruitment systems, setting up retention strategies that ensure belonging, productivity, and joy in the work, and overall pulse on what makes people want to work is solid. Her leadership presence, in both the virtual and in person setting, is calm, clear, and authentic. She knows when to push thinking and when to provide examples, which creates a safe learning space for adults. I am excited to continue working with Jess this year.

    Johnny Foster, Education Partnerships Lead - Yondr

  • “Jessica Lamb's session was excellent. So many people of color have a completely different teaching experience than our white counterparts, but there are never spaces for us to fellowship, talk (and vent, lol), and grow. We also have to play a "certain game," which becomes exhausting. Even when a school has predominantly black teachers, black educators can still be left out if we don't subscribe to the Hustle Culture. We have to create more open and intentional spaces for black teachers, but I honestly don't think schools will quickly create these spaces. Thank you for the powerful action steps, Jessica!”

  • "In my two years observing her work with school leaders, I saw Jessica balance directness with empathy in a way that sparked incredible growth in those she leads. She takes a full partnership approach, working alongside school leaders to set clear goals and strategize how to reach them. Jessica will be your data guru, your biggest cheerleader, your mirror and your accountability partner. I can think of no better partner for culture building than Jessica Lamb."
