“Reflective thinking turns experience into insight.” John C. Maxwell
Whether you’re four or 44, there’s real magic in how Dr. Soto helps you identify opportunities and challenges; grasp the complex and nuanced factors that generate them; locate yourself within that ecosystem; and clearly define the next piece of work that is yours to pick up—she facilitates growth.
Her steadfast belief that a better way is within reach, is contagious, fueling the work and lending a sweetness to what I will always think of as—her words—“the productive struggle".

Welcome!
I’m Dr. Sandra Soto, consultant, writer and presenter. For 25 years I worked as a NYC educator.
My last 10 years with the Department of Education I had the privilege of designing a new school for the NYC Dept. of Education and opened the school with no previous experience as a school administrator.
I soon learned that the day to day management that was so fundamental in the first years was the easy stuff.
In spite of having a school that was well sought after and boasted an array of meaningful enrichment programs, student achievement data was woefully lacking. Our lagging math scores landed us on the state’s list of lowest performing schools. It was crushing; especially when the results were not for a lack of hard work.
The happy ending to my story is that in one year, we brought the math scores up by 25 points, among the highest gains in the city.
Those gains were not the result of scrambling, changing everything or working even harder.
At the heart of our breakthrough was reflection and meaningful discussion around the work.
The support of skilled facilitators who guided thoughtful conversations was crucial.
In those difficult months, when my leadership was challenged, it was my partnership with those who saw my strengths as a leader and helped me leverage them that accelerated our success.
