What People Are Saying

 

“Ellen is not only a dedicated youth mentoring professional, but also one of the sharpest minds in our field and a true exemplar of research-to-practice work.”

— Director of Research and Evaluation, MENTOR, The National Mentoring Partnership

“Thank you so very much for the Sea Change Mentoring training. We have returned full of inspiration. Thank you for your extra support in helping us create a Theory of Change – a strategy we are enjoying implementing – as well as guiding us towards specific texts to read regarding transitions and third culture kids. The content of this training was highly valuable.”
— Counselor, The Green School
“ISB (Beijing) began working with Sea Change and Ellen as we were reimagining our HS mentoring program two years ago. The success of the rollout of that program is a direct result of her guidance, sage advice and the pragmatic, student-centered training that she provided the staff. Ellen proved to be a valuable and knowledgeable consultant, but more importantly she was a critical team member every step of the way. She is always willing to answer questions, brain storm or offer on-going support when you encounter obstacles. Her resources were tailored to our unique circumstance and “classroom ready” – easily forwarded to staff in order to immediately implement. Being a TCK (Third Culture Kid) as well as her professional experience and training provides an insight that is far more powerful than many others. ISB is lucky to have created an on-going partnership with Sea Change as we develop a comprehensive K-12 Social Emotional approach.”
— Eileen Rueth, HS Student Life Coordinator, International School of Beijing

“I wanted to reach out so many times over the past months, to thank you and to tell you what a blessing the mentoring programme has been for us in navigating online and hybrid learning and keeping students engaged and connected.”

— Marta Medved Krajnovic, Head of School at Western Academy of Beijing

“Ellen is a skilled practitioner whose work is infused with a deep, nuanced understanding of the challenges that accompany life for those who work internationally. Drawing on her own experience as an international student, she easily relates to and connects with international teachers and students. At CIS, we’ve collaborated with Ellen on a range of projects, related to well-being amidst the transitions that all international educators and students must navigate as they move from school to school or school to university. Each time, our work with her was successful and fun. When school or university members call us to ask for help in these areas, we recommend Ellen with great confidence, particularly during this challenging time of anxiety and uncertainty due to school closures, remote learning, travel bans and quarantines.”

— Jane Larsson, Executive Director, Council of International Schools

“As the High School Principal at The American School in Japan, I have found Ellen Mahoney and Sea Change Mentoring to be an invaluable resource for a wide range of initiatives. We have had a multi-year relationship as we have developed and implemented a new advisory program, new Dean of Student Life position, as well as Grade Level Coordinators to support an expanded comprehensive mission driven student life program. As an experienced administrator, I have found Ellen to be a dynamic, insightful thought partner who is a pragmatic, innovative problem solver as well as a capacity builder.”
— Jon Herzenberg, High School Principal, American School in Japan
