Have you met a Hippo at school? Not the kind in Zambia’s rivers but a leader whose voice can strongly shape decisions, sometimes at the expense of diverse perspectives.

From safaris to staffrooms, our co-founder Mark James reflects on how schools lose clarity, trust and collaboration when one voice dominates.

Strong leadership is about accountability, transparency, and creating space for respectful challenge. Healthy cultures aren’t built by hippos, they’re built by leaders who bring others along.

Are we expending like gas? Sometimes life behaves just like physics.💡

As our co-founder, Mark James, prepares to move his family from Zambia to India, he reflects on what thermodynamics can teach us about life and transitions: expanding to fill a space, feeling pressure when downsizing too quickly, and learning to give ourselves time and grace.

Be kind to yourselves. Transitions are rarely smooth. Don’t assume anyone else is looking out for your wellbeing, build it into your plan and take the pressure off where you can.

Even gases need space to breathe.

We help international schools put ethical employment and staff experience at the center of school success.

We partner with forward-thinking school leaders who believe great employment is essential to educational excellence. Together, we work to shift cultures, strengthen systems, and prioritize people.

We provide a confidential, standards-based evaluation system—offering strategic tools, data-informed insights, and a clear framework for action. This helps schools assess and improve how they hire, support, and retain their people. By identifying strengths and addressing gaps, we empower schools to become workplaces of choice—where staff feel valued, empowered, and motivated, and student learning thrives.

Because when staff are supported with intention, students thrive—and schools succeed!

Our Vision
A world where schools demonstrate that ethical employment and staff support are the foundation of student success.

Our Mission
We partner with ethical leaders.
We recognize schools that put people first.
We endorse great employment that drives student success.
We validate school cultures that give school employees a reason to stay.
