We repair the systems that push good educators out.
Through leadership coaching, staff workshops, and community care, we help schools get well.
11:11 Wellness helps schools repair the culture beneath behavior challenges and staff disconnection. Using a neurodivergent-informed lens, we rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and create the emotional infrastructure schools need to thrive.
We believe schools can be places of deep care, not chronic harm.
Trust between leadership and staff is strained. Everyone feels it, but few know how to talk about it, let alone repair it.
Behavior systems aren’t sticking. Without adult connection and consistent support, even the best plans fall flat.
Time and budget pressures are constant. You’re asked to do more with less, while the cracks keep getting wider.
Adults are snapping. Not out of cruelty, but because they’re exhausted and trying to hold up a system that won’t hold them back.
If this is what you’re up against, you’re not alone.
The Culture We’re Here to Build—Together
Picture this. It’s Monday morning. Staff shuffle in with coffee, bracing for the usual. But someone cracks a joke—and this time, people actually laugh. Shoulders drop. There’s a real connection, not just talk about test scores. Admin and staff connect on more than just data.
In the hallway, it’s calm. Fewer raised voices. Fewer power struggles. Just quiet check-ins and kids moving forward.
In a classroom, a student breaks down. But instead of punishment, the teacher pauses, breathes, and asks for help. They don’t have to manage it alone. They’ve got tools—and people—they can lean on.
A new teacher hits a rough week. They don’t spiral. They lean on teammates who’ve been there. They ask questions, get support, and feel like they belong. They stay—not because it’s easy, but because they’re part of something solid.
In a leadership meeting, the masks drop. People speak honestly. No posturing. Just real talk, real reflection, and a team willing to grow together.
This is what becomes possible when adults feel safe, connected, and equipped to respond, not react.
Support the staff, and the school breathes easier.
Support the staff, and the students thrive.
Ways We Can Work Together
Whether you need a thought-provoking keynote, space to listen deeply, or long-term support, we’ll meet you where you are. Each offering is designed to be relational, reflective, and responsive to what your school needs.
Clarity Sessions
(2–4 weeks)
Relational diagnostics to name what’s breaking trust—and where to start repairing it.
If something feels off but no one’s saying it out loud, this is where we start. Through empathy interviews, trust assessments, and deep listening, we surface the patterns driving burnout, turnover, and disconnection.
You’ll leave with a clear snapshot of your school culture and a roadmap for repair, without wasting time and money on support that doesn’t fit.
Workshops & Circles
Single session or a short series — you choose
Interactive spaces that build the muscle for real community care.
These aren’t your typical PDs. From full-staff workshops to small group care circles, we create reflective, healing-centered spaces where educators practice the skills that sustain culture: boundaries, empathy, communication, and repair.
You’ll develop stronger relationships and shared language that has an immediate impact.
(i.e., a lot more than surface-level “wellness” that doesn’t go deep enough to matter).
Culture Repair Partnerships
6–12 months
Hands-on help to shift school culture in real, lasting ways.
From month one, your team will have language for what’s breaking trust—and a plan to begin rebuilding it. Through coaching, strategy, and hands-on support, we help you turn emotional safety from theory into a working system of care.
We’ll help you build a culture that people want to stay in while avoiding burnout cycles, band-aid fixes, and culture work that fades.
Keynotes & Talks
1-time event, with optional follow-up
Speaking that helps staff reflect, reconnect, and return to the work with more care.
Whether you’re opening a school year, anchoring a retreat, or gathering your team after a hard season, Emily’s keynotes cut through the noise. Grounded, story-rich, and full of practical language, these talks are more than a moment of fleeting motivation—they leave people thinking differently, talking honestly, and ready to lead with more care.
Not sure what you need?
Let’s talk about where you are and what’s possible.
What this work
makes possible
Staff stopped performing and started telling the truth
“It’s not as if she is talking at us, but sharing this experience with us… people felt safe enough to be honest—and that made all the difference.”
“This wasn’t just PD — it changed how we think.”
“She challenges your thoughts on your conventional thinking… it’s not just feel-good—it’s real growth.”
We stopped talking about self-care and started building real support
“Much better than my previous self-care PD. I want to be part of the systemic changes that make this a more sustainable place to work.”
This work isn’t linear, and that’s okay. There will be moments of insight and connection, and moments of discomfort or resistance. That’s not failure—it’s a sign that the system is being asked to do something new.
From fractured relationships to a team that feels aligned and hopeful again.
The timeline is flexible, but here’s what the journey often looks like:
We begin with listening—one-on-one and small group conversations that surface what’s really happening. These sessions are not extractive or evaluative. They’re truth-telling spaces that set the tone for everything that follows.
Month 1
Based on what we hear, we co-create a plan: coaching, strategy, and hands-on support tailored to your team’s needs. You’ll start to see shifts in language, tone, and presence that signal people are beginning to feel safer.
Month 2-3
The deeper work begins. We support leaders and staff through the hard but necessary conversations. We build systems that make emotional safety sustainable, not just inspirational.
Month 4-6
Repair becomes routine. New hires stay. Staff meetings feel different. Care isn’t just talked about—it’s practiced. Trust grows slowly and steadily. The culture starts to hold itself.
Month 6-12
This Is For You If…
You know culture change takes more than a motivational poster or a feel-good PD.
You’re tired of reacting to crisis after crisis and ready to build something sustainable.
You’ve got staff who love the kids, but not the culture, and you don’t blame them.
You believe adults deserve emotional safety too, not just performance metrics.
You’re willing to name what’s not working, without shame or blame, and start doing something about it.
You’ve tried SEL, behavior systems, or new frameworks… but still feel something’s missing.
You want new hires to stay, not burn out before winter break—and you’re ready to make school a place people want to work.
What School Feels Like When It’s Working
Schools with high relational trust see higher student achievement, better staff retention, and stronger leadership. Culture repair isn’t extra—it’s essential.
“I really enjoyed our work with 11:11 this year—much better than my previous self-care work at school. I hope we continue to partner because I want to try to make the systemic changes to support self and community care at school, and make it a more sustainable place to work.”
