From Idea to Impact

A clear, supported path for educators building solutions that matter.

Some educators are sitting with a spark they haven’t fully shaped yet. Others have piloted, launched, or tested something, but don’t know what comes next. What’s missing isn’t passion. It’s structure. Build for Impact gives you a clear path from insight to evidence, and from effort to sustainable growth. You’ll clarify, test, and scale your idea with intention, without overbuilding or burning out.

Personalized Coaching + Ongoing Support

Build for Impact blends self-paced exercises, four 1:1 coaching sessions, and weekly asynchronous feedback for up to three months. Submit your work as you go, and Margot will provide actionable guidance to refine ideas, solve challenges, and keep momentum. You control the pace: complete the program in as little as 4 weeks or extend up to 12. Together, we’ll tailor your timeline to your goals and stage of growth.

  • Self-Paced Venture Design

    Work through hands-on modules that clarify, test, and grow your idea. Move as fast or steadily as your schedule allows with content that adapts to any education venture.

  • Live 1:1 Coaching Sessions

    Synthesize your work and experience real transformation during four high-impact 1:1 calls with Margot to refine your strategy, answer questions, and get tactical support.

  • Weekly Asynch Feedback

    You'll stay in motion with weekly check-ins and personalized feedback for 3 months, regardless of how quickly you move through the structured content.

3 Phases: Clarify -> Develop -> Grow

Self-paced activities and 1:1 coaching create a personalized experience tailored to your stage and schedule.
