Testimonials

Dr. Bill Mott led our board retreat with a blend of humor, wisdom, and deep insight into the dynamics between the Head of School and the Board of Trustees. Utilizing the case studies from his book and facilitating thoughtful, practical discussions, he clarified the strategic role of the board, emphasizing their responsibilities in governance and leadership. Since the retreat, our board has embraced a renewed sense of purpose, leading through giving, guidance, and committee engagement. That commitment has yielded tangible growth, both in enrollment and philanthropy, and has deepened the connection between board and school leadership. Dr. Mott’s expertise, grounded in the very content of "Healthy Boards – Successful Schools", continues to shape our meetings and culture, ensuring we're not just functioning, but thriving.

Working with Dr. Bill Mott has been an invaluable experience for our school’s leadership and Board of Trustees. Dr. Mott recently facilitated a board retreat for Providence Christian Academy, and his deep expertise, seasoned insight, and gracious demeanor left a lasting impact on our team. He brings more than just knowledge—he brings wisdom. With clarity and conviction, he helped us strengthen the relational and strategic partnership between the Head of School and the Board, reminding us that how we govern is just as important as what we govern.

I am deeply grateful for the wisdom and experience that Dr. Bill Mott brought to our school during a season of significant transition. This was a time marked by both a major physical relocation and a profound organizational shift where Dr. Mott served as a voice of clarity, encouragement, and biblical conviction.  He listened and guided me in my role as Head of School, consistently offering insight that was not only strategic and practical but rooted in Scripture and faithful to the mission of our school. Dr. Mott also shepherded our Board of Directors with discernment and grace, helping them embrace their responsibilities with a clearer understanding of governance, mission fidelity, and servant leadership. I thank God for Dr. Bill Mott and his ministry to schools like ours. His impact continues to be felt among our leadership culture as we seek continuous school improvement with unity of mission impacting this generation and generations to come for His glory.

Bill brings a wonderful combination of personal experience, professional insight, thoughtful challenge, and genuine kindness. His expertise helped our board move beyond daily operations and embrace a more strategic perspective. Through his guidance, we were able to refocus to a higher horizon for our school’s future. Bill’s book was a catalyst to several meaningful discussions that happened during the retreat.

Bill did an outstanding job leading our board in a governance workshop. Each trustee was given a copy of his book, Healthy Boards - Successful Schools, prior to the workshop, which enabled Bill to establish credibility with the trustees even before he began the workshop. His knowledge of how boards should function for success is invaluable. It was incredibly helpful for our trustees to have a refresher course on their role as trustees and how we can all be successful together.
