About Mockingbird

Professional Development that Meets the Moment
We don't do typical training. We create transformational learning experiences.
We believe that teaching, coaching, and mentoring disconnected learners isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. That’s why our work goes beyond strategies and checklists. We develop habits, systems, and mindsets that take root—and stick.
Our specialty? Disconnected and vulnerable learners. The ones who’ve fallen through the cracks. The ones who’ve heard “you can’t” more than “you can.” The ones who need practitioners with both skill and heart.
The Mockingbird Methodology—a research-informed, relational framework is built from years of research AND practice in the field.
It’s practical, proven, and packed with tools and strategies you can use the very next day after training.
We help programs build a culture where:
Trauma doesn’t derail learning—it’s understood.
Expectations are high, and so is the support.
Staff don’t just survive—they grow.
Learners feel seen, safe, and significant in their learning space/
Whether you’re a director shaping program culture, a practitioner facing daily challenges, or a leader rebuilding engagement from the ground up—we’re here to help you.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real research-informed solutions for real practitioners doing really hard work.
