About Paige

Paige Richards

With over 25 years of experience in education and leadership, her work focuses on supporting individuals, schools and districts to strengthen skills and systems.

Grounded in experience, research, and reflection, her career as a passionate advocate for children and adults in education drives her mission.

What we do

  • Professional Development

    So much of professional development feels like it is being done TO people, instead of WITH and FOR people. Learning designed with people and larger systems in mind are the types of connected and coherent experiences we create.

  • Cognitive Coaching℠

    Cognitive Coaching Seminars® are eight-day in-person trainings. The learned skills can be applied to professional interactions with the intention of enhancing self-directed learning. Cognitive Coaching℠ is owned by Thinking Collaborative. Paige is a certified Training Associate for Cognitive Coaching℠.

  • 1:1 Coaching

    We all benefit from coaching! One-to-one coaching is designed to be flexible and adaptive to support your unique needs. We specialize in planning, reflection, and problem resolving conversations. Working with a skilled coach will support you to gain clarity, new thinking, and confidence.
