High-Touch, High-Impact Strategies for Higher Ed Leaders
At The Acclivity, we provide confidential, strategic coaching to higher education professionals in roles that are essential, demanding, and too often unsupported. Our White Glove approach delivers practical, high-impact strategies tailored to the unique dynamics of higher education.
This is not training. It’s not a group program. It’s an elite level of one-on-one guidance that equips you to navigate your role with clarity, confidence, and presence.
We work with higher ed professionals across the institutional spectrum: faculty, senior administrators, and staff. Each engagement is bespoke, built around your career stage, institutional context, and leadership goals.
Our work focuses on three core outcomes:
We are your strategic partner, not just a coach—providing perspective, accountability, and support that evolves as your role evolves.
Higher education is in flux. From public scrutiny to post-pandemic fatigue and growing questions about value, the system is under pressure.
Faculty, staff, and administrators are expected to manage performance, equity, morale, and perception—often without the support needed to succeed.
Women, BIPOC, and first-gen professionals often carry the greatest burdens with the least backing. We provide high-touch, identity-informed support that helps them move forward with clarity and conviction.
The Acclivity’s White Glove coaching is grounded in strategy, discretion, and deep institutional insight. Every engagement includes:
Our goal is not to help you fit the mold. It’s to help you lead on your own terms—with vision and strength.
Your Leadership. Elevated with Thoughtful, Tailored Strategy.
Staff professionals are essential to higher ed, yet often receive the least leadership support. We work with directors, associate deans, and administrative professionals who are ready to grow. Our services focus on:
We meet you where you are, and help you take the next strategic step forward.
Positioning Your Scholarship. Advancing Your Leadership. With Unmatched Precision.
We help tenured, tenure-track, and adjunct faculty step into their leadership potential without sacrificing their academic identity. Our work focuses on:

Executive-Level Strategy. Personalized Leadership Navigation.
We support provosts, deans, vice presidents, and other academic executives with precision-crafted strategies for today’s complex leadership landscape. Our work includes:
