“We hired Honor Bound and Carla to do an organization-wide audit of systems and practices at Ascend Learning Charter Schools — a large, K-12 network in Brooklyn. Carla was an extraordinary partner, interviewing dozens of people and spending many hours listening in on meetings to understand our culture and make thoughtful suggestions about ways to improve our practice. She was deeply respectful of Ascend’s people and brand, even when she needed to call out weaknesses. She helped our Board and leadership team make some tough changes, and she stayed wildly positive throughout — keeping us focused on the mission, so that every decision was made in the context of doing right by our students. We are a better organization because of Carla’s work!”

— Julia Bator, Former Board Chair, Ascend Learning
