Transformational Leadership Development
Led by Erica Crane, Ed.D., Audacious Learner supports transformational leaders, teams, and organizations through coaching, consulting, and resource development in edTech and education.
“Erica has the whole array of experience & skills needed to advance big, new endeavors- be those a start-up company, school, new product or initiative. She draws on her leadership experience, research, coaching skills and entrepreneurial mindset to produce smart, creative ideas. Her vast experience also means she is competent at adapting, working flexibly and responsively when needed. She is grounded by her pursuit of educational equity. She is able to connect the dots between the vision, strategy and day to day tactics. And perhaps most importantly, she is a true collaborator, listener, and continual learner.”
-KIPPY SMITH, Founder, Small wins dashboard
“Erica is a transformational leader who develops people and organizations in ways that allow them to accomplish more than they believe is even possible. She develops leaders by building trust, creating a safe space for exploration and creativity, and by centering equity in all she does. I have had the pleasure of watching Erica turn a seamingly impossible dream into an award-winning high school that has not only changed the lives of the young people who learn there, but has fundamentally changed our educational community for the better.”
-RACHEL Peña, Director of Social Services, Nevada County, California
“Erica Crane is the first person I would go to in order to help make my team better, especially if that team is focused on teaching and learning of any kind. Her deep expertise in learning combined with her propensity to see the biggest version of something make her a word-class partner.”
-Mike Mendelson, CHIEF LEARNING OFFICER & Co-FouNDER, Upduo for Education
“Erica Crane is a skilled and flexible consultant with a wealth of real-life experience. Her work supporting leaders is individualized, impactful and builds capacity that directly helps systems better serve students and leaders thrive.”
