Trusted thinking for
meaningful experiences.

“I am so happy to recommend Erik. I worked closely with him as a Board member and as a parent during one of the hardest chapters in the school's history. At the time, our risk policies were outdated, decisions were often made without proper safeguards, and serious incidents had gone without real accountability, so the culture never changed. When a school trip returned with deeply troubling accounts of poor judgment by its leaders, Erik became the calm, steady voice we needed. He guided the Board through a thorough and fair investigation, brought in outside experts, and connected a school that had long worked in isolation with the wider risk management field. Through it all, he kept the wellbeing of students and families at the heart of the work.

Erik helped hold our community together through that storm, and then he led the change that followed. He brought real expertise and good judgment, and he communicated clearly and openly with staff, teachers, parents, and the Board. There was plenty of pushback, and Erik met it with patience, listening carefully and considering every perspective. People came to trust him. He created a Risk Management Committee, led trainings and presentations, and helped the Board take a stronger role in oversight. He reshaped policy at every level, from daily practices to Board governance, and by the end, nearly everything about how the school operated had changed for the better. Erik is principled and wise, and any school or organization would be lucky to have him. I recommend him wholeheartedly.”
