Services We Offer
ThirdWay Solutions supports equity-minded leaders we believe in, and we help them realize bold goals by offering these primary services.
Executive Coaching
We work with a highly diverse set of leaders: CEOs, commissioners, advocacy groups, school superintendents, funders, mayors, and systems leaders across sectors. These leaders engage us to solve problems at critical moments in times when stakes are high.
We help them set technical and adaptive goals to become more effective and make tangible progress towards realizing those goals. Thirdway Solutions supports organizations to define their anti-biased, antiracist (ABAR) vision and operating principles, and we pull them through all essential elements of their work.

Some examples of our work include:
- Performing efficient, 360 degree quantitative and qualitative reviews and using them to set personal growth goals for leaders;
- Conducting weekly coaching sessions with heads of systems and corporations to support on emerging problems of practice and to make progress on personal growth goals;
- Picking up the “bat phone” when CEOs need real-time technical assistance, problem solving and interpersonal coaching.
Strategy & Problem-Solving
Through technical assistance, strategy work, and project management, we help leaders wrestle seemingly intractable problems to the ground and drive new areas of work, new approaches, and/or new directions. This work takes different forms depending on the organization and engagement – from developing overall strategic plans to implementing action steps such as staff and board reorganization.
Toppling systems that have for decades produced inequitable outcomes is an inherently cross-functional, cross-agency, grassroots task. When it comes to how we better serve students, families, organizational team members and professionals across sectors who are marginalized, we must break through silos and past patterns. Thirdway Solutions has the confidence and experience to do just that.

Team Culture & Performance
We work to ensure that the organizations we serve have the right people in the right seats and the right culture and systems to win. As a team, we work closely to identify and support team culture, workflow, and processes that will set teams up for more and more successes.
ThirdWay Solutions was founded with clear anti-biased, antiracist (ABAR) vision and values — and we are staffed with a team who has been doing ABAR work throughout their careers across sectors. Companies are under tremendous pressure – and rightfully so – to ensure their organizations are embracing ABAR values internally and projecting them externally, giving way to tremendous opportunities and emotional challenges. Let us be your partner to alleviate this pressure and co-create lasting impact.
