ANACAPA CONSULTING GROUP
Partnering with Professionals
WHO WE ARE
Dr. Gaye Theresa Johnson and Michelyne Pinard
Founding Partners
Michelyne and Gaye met at The Thacher School, in Ojai, CA, in the tumultuous summer of 2020. Gaye, an internationally known professor of Black and Chicano Studies at UCLA, was the Anacapa Visiting Scholar in residence for the fall term and Michelyne was the newly appointed Director of Signature Programs, transitioning to secondary school education after 18 years at Williams College where she was the Women’s Soccer Coach and an Assistant Athletic Director–two working Moms at the peak of their professional careers.
WHAT WE DO
We partner with Heads of Schools, Principals, College Presidents, Senior Administrators, Athletic Directors, Coaches, Faculty, Department Chairs, Youth Sports Clubs, and School Boards interested in capacity building and cultural fluency to create high performing teams with the end goal of generating transformative, inclusive and inspiring learning experiences for their students and rewarding and sustainable careers for their institutional team members.
​
We do so through The Institute for Contemporary Leadership (WYN), WYNin6 Executive Searches, Executive Coaching, Professional Development and Consulting .
WYN
WIN YOUR NOW
Institute for Contemporary Leadership
We recognize that leadership development is always nuanced, layered and time consuming.
AND
Leadership Development with talented individuals for high performing teams in our current landscape is more challenging than ever.
THUS
We have created our "WYNin6 Curriculum" that centers the 6 "I"s - Introspection, Imagination, Intention, Inclusion, Inspiration, and Iteration. This process is transformative for both the individual and the communities, teams organizations, schools or families to which that person is connected and/or leads.
WYNIN6 EXECUTIVE SEARCH
A Modern Twist on Retained Searches
Anacapa is offering a contemporary twist on the Retained Executive Search Model. Our model marries a traditional retained search and Executive Coaching, that we refer to as the WYNin6 Retained Search Model.
The Retained Search Team will be lead by Dave Johnson and benefit from Anacapa’s extensive and respected coaching network that is established across all NCAA Divisions and Sports, including close ties within NESCAC, UAA, SCIAC, IVY, ACC, SEC, PAC 12 and the Patriot League.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
Leverage Your Lived Experience
Executive coaching is a learning approach that creates self-awareness and momentum that helps drive transformational change, and provides critical challenge and support.
As strategic thought-partners and accountability-partners we help individuals design, reimagine, or explore their leadership style and impact, at various stages in their careers, helping them create both the vision and the action plan to achieve their goals.
​
Ultimately, we build a collaborative relationship that leverages your lived experience as a leader and is customized to fit your needs.
