CESO is refreshing. They have a deep bench of expertise without a canned approach or set of specific products to sell. Dr. McDowell is a perfect example - he’s a former superintendent who listens deeply and then helps you find spot-on tools or processes to address your needs. He’s action-oriented, alignment-driven, and ultimately practical. After spending some focused time with him, I invariably walk away feeling energized and better equipped to tackle the thorniest issues.
