A Mission-Driven School
Needs Mission-Aligned
Adults Leading It.
Your school exists to serve students with a whole-person education rooted in faith and values. The adults in your building either embody that mission in how they relate to each other and to students, or they undermine it. EI development makes the difference measurable and closeable.
The Team That Finds TGG
Is Looking for This.
Your school has a beautiful mission statement. It is on the wall in every classroom. And somewhere between the mission statement and the Monday morning staff meeting, the relational dynamics of three faculty members are quietly making some of your best teachers consider whether this is still the right place for them. The mission is real. The environment is not always matching it.
TGG gives faith-based school administrators and faculty the clinical self-knowledge to live the relational values their school professes. The Communication Mapping profile does not challenge anyone's faith or values. It maps the behavioral patterns that either strengthen or undermine the relational mission that faith-based education is built on.
Faith-based schools that invest in faculty EI and communication development report measurably higher staff retention, stronger family satisfaction scores, and lower conflict-related departures. The return on a TGG school partnership is measurable within one academic year.
A year from now, the Monday morning meeting has a different tone. The three faculty members who were creating friction now have a shared language for the behavioral pattern that was producing it. Two of them have become stronger collaborators because of it. The mission statement is still on the wall. The adults in the building are starting to embody it.
Built for the Specific
Culture of Faith-Based Education.
Faculty and Staff Development
Complete Communication Mapping profiles for your entire faculty team and a group integration session that builds the shared language your staff uses to navigate the interpersonal dynamics of serving together in a mission-driven environment.
Leadership and Administrator Alignment
Individual EI Assessments and clinical debriefs for school leadership, followed by a joint session that aligns the administrative team's communication culture with the school's stated relational values.
Board and Executive Partnership
Communication Mapping profiles for board members and school leadership. Governance-level EI development that strengthens the board-administrator relationship and reduces the communication friction that undermines school strategy.
Case Study:
Freedom Christian Academy
"God created all of us uniquely, but we often struggle to know how to communicate with each other. Dr. Thurman led our team through personality understandings, book studies, and personal meetings. My leadership team has used more from this professional development than any others they have taken in the past few years. This has been the talk of the school."
DiSC Deep-Dive
30-day daily engagement cadence. Every leader received personalized Calls to Action applied in real time. DiSC became the talk of the school and the foundation for every subsequent conversation.
EQ-i 2.0 + Biblical Leadership Integration
EQ-i 2.0 subscale analysis with Biblical leadership integration. Introspective heart work aligning emotional intelligence with spiritual principles. The most mission-specific phase of the program.
Johari Window + Peer Accountability
Lowering the Mask and eliminating leadership Blind Spots. Peer accountability built into daily campus culture so the development does not end when the engagement does.
What Faith-Based Schools
Face Every Day.
Board-Mission Misalignment
When Board members have competing visions of the school's spiritual mission, every governance decision becomes potential conflict. Trust Covenants anchored in shared values protect both the mission and the Head of School.
Staff Burnout in Ministry Context
Educators at faith-based schools often suppress burnout signals out of spiritual duty. DiSC and EQ-i 2.0 give staff the language to identify and address depletion before it becomes a resignation.
Conflict Without Tools
Faith communities often avoid direct conflict, which leads to unresolved friction that quietly damages trust. Radical Transparency training gives teams the Biblical and behavioral tools to resolve conflict with grace.
Programs Built
for Your Mission.
Board Governance + Biblical Framework
Trust Covenants that align spiritual goals with operational governance. Satisfies mandatory board training requirements for private and faith-based accreditors while building genuine shared mission at the governance level.
45-Day Deep Work Journey
The same proven 3-phase framework used at Freedom Christian Academy. Not a one-day professional development event. A journey that becomes embedded in your campus culture and continues after the engagement ends.
Mission-Fit Hiring System
Identify educators who share the calling, not just the credentials. Behavioral interviewing that screens for character, grit, and genuine mission alignment. Stop replacing staff who looked right on paper but did not fit the culture.
Live the Mission
You Are Teaching.
A 20-minute briefing is enough to map what a TGG partnership looks like for your faith-based school.
What Happens When a Faith School Does the Work.
"My leadership team has used more from this professional development than any others they have taken in the past few years. God created all of us uniquely, but we often struggle knowing how to communicate with each other. Dr. Thurman led our team through personality understandings, book studies, and personal meetings."
"After going through the training with Dr. Thurman, I was not only more aware of myself, but more importantly, my colleagues and their needs and preferences. Our team grew closer as we understood each other better and established stronger connections between individuals and departments."
"It has helped me to think about how I address others with both facial expression and words. I connected with Dr. Thurman through a workshop in our school and the course has been very useful."
