"It was a pleasure to work with Scott Goldberg Consulting to help source our new Junior High School Principal, Rabbi Stephen Knapp. I appreciated all the support from the SGC Team and the consensus building process helped YCQ find the right person to lead our Junior High School. Rabbi Knapp now begins his position with full support of all the involved stakeholders. We are very excited to have Rabbi Knapp join the YCQ Family. "

"Dr. Goldberg and his SGC team guided our search for a school leader with aplomb and wisdom. They took the time and applied their formidable skills to learn about JKHA/RKYHS to focus their search on candidates aligned with our Mission. They adeptly guided us through the interview process and were candid, responsive and insightful at every stage of the search. SGC's deep knowledge of the leadership landscape and Dr. Goldberg's stellar reputation inspired confidence in the process. I strongly recommend institutions engage SGC for their next executive search."

“Our experience in partnering with SGC was excellent. Scott and his team brought an invaluable wealth of knowledge and insights into a daunting process of finding an ideal Head of School. Scott and his team made themselves available throughout the process for both scheduled and unscheduled conversations. The team spent a lot of time really understanding our school, our community, our culture, and our needs. At the end of the process, we ended up with an outstanding choice as our next Head of School. I would wholeheartedly use SGC again for any future search.”

"Dr. Goldberg is an active listener and deeply works to understand the culture and milieu of my institution. He brings an immense wealth of knowledge of education, leadership, and governance, and has unparalleled fluency in and understanding of the inner-workings of systems. But, first and foremost, Dr. Goldberg is an educator. He doesn't dictate, but teaches; he never simply tells me what to do, but teaches me how to think. He's invested in helping me develop my own leadership style, not in creating a leader in his own image. Put differently, the goal of his coaching and mentorship is not to create a reliant and dependent client, but one that is well-equipped and confident to independently recognize and navigate the challenges of leadership and organizational health."

"Professional, empathetic, forward-looking - the coaching sessions I have had with Yael Harari from SGC have helped me in my growth and self-reflection as a leader, even after a 30-year career in educational administration. As with all great coaching, Yael helps me acknowledge, bring out, and act upon what I ultimately could find within myself."

"I am extremely grateful to Scott Goldberg Consulting for their invaluable role in placing me as the Director of Development at The Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy/Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School. From the beginning, Scott demonstrated not only persistence but a deep understanding of who I am—my values, my professional goals, and what drives me. He took the time to truly understand the mission of the school and, in doing so, recognized that this was the right position and the right community for me. His insight, dedication, and thoughtful guidance made all the difference. I’m thankful to Scott for helping me find a role that aligns so closely with my personal beliefs and professional purpose."

“Working with Scott has been fantastic. In our work together, he strikes the balance between making me feel at ease and asking probing questions that challenge me to think and act differently. He also balances opportunities for me to reflect and uncover solutions for myself with direct advice and teaching depending on what I need most. His knowledge of schools, facility with systems thinking, and acute awareness of social-emotional dynamics make him an uncommonly helpful guide to the complex school environment. I walk away from sessions with Scott with a new, clear perspective on how to approach my work challenges and the confidence that I can become the leader I aspire to be.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Scott as president and board chair of the school my children attended. Scott shared both deep strategic insights on governance, along with practical advice, that were nothing short of transformative for me and our board. He was great to work with, smart and thoughtful at every turn. I cannot give a stronger recommendation to any educational institution looking for aconsultant to navigatechange.”

"Last year, our community brought on Dr. Goldberg to help navigate a change in the Head of School. The succession from a much beloved principal to a new HOS was fraught with many issues besides just finding the right individual. Dr. Goldberg was able to deftly navigate many different kinds of complex problems to set the school on course for success in its next chapter. The institution could have easily been severely damaged, if not destroyed. Dr. Goldberg has contacts, expertise, and people skills that are extremely valuable to help out day school communities and lay leaders as they try to improve their school systems. I highly recommend Dr. Goldberg...He is the consummate professional, confident, and knows how to get the job done for whatever he is hired to do for a given institution."

"Leading a school can feel lonely. So many decisions, so much responsibility. Working with Yael Harari has been a game changer for me. She gets the bigger picture, prods me to think deeply and find the confidence within myself to lead with passion and confidence. I accomplish so much more, with a degree of serenity and clarity that I have never felt before."

"Under the excellent guidance of SGC Consulting, our school has been propelled to new heights, with a renewed sense of excitement and equipped with the strategic mindset needed for the next stages of our growth. SGC has a command on providing creative solutions which are out-of-the-box, especially for complicated situations which seem unsolvable."

“I’ve been exposed to various strategic plans throughout my career and the one that SGC helped our school create stands out as the most comprehensive. It balances ambition with attainability, setting high standards while keeping goals realistic. I want to extend my gratitude to Barry Kislowitz for his leadership on this project, ensuring that we elevate our expectations while maintaining practicality."

"In my two decades of engagement with the school, I have never encountered a consulting process as thorough and professional as the one undertaken with SGC. Following our collaborative efforts on a strategic plan, I feel confident that our school is poised not simply to survive, but also to fully grow and thrive. Through this strategic planning process, we have gained a roadmap which shifted our perspective from that of a mere one-room schoolhouse to a visionary outlook for the Jewish children of Richmond."

"I’ve always found SGC to be an exceptionally professional and responsive consulting group. Whether for a search or a special project, they always give an honest assessment of whether it’s the right fit for them, and if they don’t believe they can deliver at the highest level, they won’t take it on. Their proposals are thorough and clearly laid out, and they consistently follow through on their commitments. I’ve completed two successful searches with SGC and both were excellent experiences. In our recent search I worked with Yael Harari who took the time to truly understand what we needed, conducted a thorough search, offered thoughtful advice, and served as an invaluable liaison with candidates. I also worked with SGC on a compensation overhaul project which was also an excellent experience. I would highly recommend SGC for any consulting needs."
