Strategic Advancement Corporate And Education Consulting

What Strategic Advancement Corporate And Education Consulting does

Strategic Advancement Corporate & Education Consulting, Inc. is a private Ohio-incorporated consulting firm founded in 2017 and led by Founder & Lead Consultant Kristi Thompson. The company delivers leadership coaching, education consulting, and AI-in-education training to K-12 schools, ag educators, and corporate organizations across the United States, with primary regulatory alignment to Ohio-specific mandates. Its practice is grounded in the proprietary Move What Matters™ methodology and the 9 Core Leadership Competencies framework.

The product portfolio is structured as a tiered subscription ladder. Free entry points include the Reflective Leader Program (with the Reflective Leader Snapshot™ and Leadership Focus Report™ self-assessments) and a 30-minute 1:1 strategy discovery call. These feed paid memberships: the Leadership Hub at $49.99/month or $550/year and Advanced Leadership at $299/month or $3,400/year with 1:1 strategy planning calls and VIP courses. Adjacent products include the AI in Education Course & Innovators Network (a 3-10 contact hour certificated course aligned to Ohio HB 96) and the Educator AgriNetwork, a national ag educator membership at $1,250/year with corporate sponsorship at $2,000/sponsored educator under Platinum/Gold/Silver tiers.

The technology stack is intentionally lean: Kajabi hosts courses, communities, and self-serve checkout; Zoom delivers live coaching and webinars; Mailchimp runs email marketing. Distribution blends self-serve digital sales, free discovery calls for sales-assisted conversion, on-site/virtual consulting for enterprise education and corporate buyers, and a B2B2C sponsorship model for ag education. Strategic Advancement is FERPA, COPPA, PPRA, and Ohio SB 29 compliant for K-12 data handling.
