Strategic Enrollment Consulting
Expert guidance for leaders navigating change.
Enrollment management is one of the most complex, fast-moving areas of higher education. Even the strongest leaders can find themselves needing expert support, whether they’re new to the field, stepping into expanded responsibilities, been given audacious targets, or driving major change. Our Strategic Enrollment Consulting provides the coaching, insight, and partnership leaders need to succeed.
How We Help
We tailor our work to your unique leadership needs and institutional goals. Examples include:
Executive Coaching for New VPs
When leaders are new to enrollment management or new to a Vice President-level role, we provide structured education and ongoing coaching to build fluency in the field. Together, we design a cycle of biweekly sessions across one full recruitment year, covering critical EM topics and providing practical guidance along the way.
Support for New Directors
We coach and guide newly appointed admissions, recruitment, or marketing directors, focusing on the challenges of their specific area while also connecting their work to the broader enrollment picture.
Leadership Team Guidance
We meet monthly (or as needed) with admissions or EM leadership teams to facilitate strategic discussions, answer tough questions, and move ideas from conversation to implementation.
Strategic Enrollment Plan Facilitation
We lead teams through the process of creating focused, actionable strategic enrollment plans that align enrollment goals with institutional priorities.
Why It Works
Our approach combines coaching, strategic advising, and hands-on expertise. We meet leaders where they are, provide a clear framework for growth, and keep them accountable for moving forward. Paired with a Discovery engagement, our work ensures leaders understand both what’s working now and how to drive future success.
“Jess & Jen’s independent drive for excellence, improvement, creative solutions, and continuous innovation are hallmarks of their success and style as leaders. Their leadership and successful strategies drove Baylor to buck national trends and to continue to grow despite pressures that were devastating to so many other institutions. I’m excited to see EMP sharing their wealth of energy, experience, knowledge, and leadership with other institutions across the country.”
