Leadership Coaching for Teams Ready to Lead Meaningful, Lasting Change

I work with a small number of senior leadership teams and school networks each year who are deeply committed to helping young people—and the adults who support them—rediscover and unleash their power to learn.

If you're clear on your purpose but need a sharper strategy, renewed energy, additional guidance or a trusted thought partner to help you navigate resistance and complexity, I’m here to help. My coaching brings clarity, direction, and movement to your change efforts—so your vision becomes real, not just aspirational.

Spots are limited, and reserved for teams ready to act.

Listening to Santiago was an absolute privilege. I was completely enthralled by his reflections on Scotland— he reminded us that we have many of the components that would be the envy of other nations—so what’s stopping us? He encouraged us to focus on the key conditions for powerful learning, reminding us that we must be bold enough to let go of what no longer serves our students. His work challenges us to take a leap of faith, to focus on the pedagogical core, and to truly put learners at the heart of everything we do. His work is not just timely, it’s essential for the future of Scottish education
Gillian Hamilton - Interim Chief Executive, Education Scotland
Dr. Rincón-Gallardo was instrumental in helping our new senior leadership team build a strong foundation of trust, collective purpose, and a shared vision for optimal learning.

His guidance in developing a Theory of Action and an implementation plan gave us the clarity and direction we needed. He helped us focus on the pedagogical core, ensuring our leadership decisions directly supported powerful teaching and learning. He pushed our thinking, challenged us with powerful questions, and helped us create the right conditions for meaningful change.

With Santiago’s guidance and support, we have gained tremendous momentum as a senior leadership team and with our schools, and feel we are well on our way to becoming a top performing metropolitan school division in Alberta".
