Hearing from others. Heart ❤️ is in the work.

"You were a constant source of calm and comfort for me...Your door was always open and I knew I could always be honest with you about anything..my fears, my concerns, my joys."  (parent email ❤️)

"I seriously cannot be more grateful to you...I already know that you are incredible AND each interaction should additionally note how incredible you are as an educator and as a person. I have learned so much from you through the years and through this year I was SO lucky to have even more time with you and have learned more of Ilene's nuggets of wisdom."   (parent email ❤️)

"There really is nobody like you. I try to imagine what I would’ve done years ago when you helped me with my personal family crisis...I will never forget how you reached out to me, sometimes after 11pm on a school night, to support me or check in on me. I know that this is how you are. You weren’t giving me special treatment. You just treat everyone like they are special, and that what makes you this remarkably unique individual."  (parent email ❤️)

"From the moment I met Ilene, I knew she was someone special whom I wanted to be around. I am very fortunate to have been professionally coached and mentored by Ilene these past five years. She took an average teacher and transformed me into a charismatic school leader." (testimonial from a colleague ❤️)

"Ilene has the amazing ability to nudge you without bruising you. She shares her wisdom with you through her distinguished career and unique relationships with extraordinary people to help develop your confidence and intuition. It is a humbling experience." (teacher email ❤️)
