Revolutionizing How Schools Lead, Learn, and Thrive—Through Emotional Intelligence.

To meet the needs of the whole child, we must first develop the whole adult. Come Home Collective builds the emotional intelligence of leaders and educators so the schools, districts, and systems they guide become places where everyone can thrive.

We focus on adult learning first—because the greatest driver of student success is the skill, mindset, and presence of the adults in the room. Through hands-on implementation support, we partner with school districts, states, and mission-aligned organizations to bring SEL to a true Tier 1 level. Our work equips adults with the skills, strategies, and tools to model emotional intelligence every day—creating cultures of connection, belonging, and growth, and preparing every student with the skills to succeed in school and in life.

    Former Superintendent

    Principal K-5

    Professor

    High Point Univeristy

  • This training had a powerful impact on myself, my students, and the feeling of connection within the class. The feedback from the students was very positive. I plan to integrate EI in all of my future courses. This training even benefited my personal interpersonal relationships outside of the classroom

    Professor

    High Point University

  • Griffin demonstrates EI as a teacher and mentor. He is open to new ideas and he is a strong listener and supportive as I was growing in my own EI skills. Griffin’s dedication to this project was extraordinary. I appreciate his support every step of the way.

    Professor

    High Point University

  • Griffin creates a space for teams that is extremely hard to foster in the workspace. A space where team members can connect on a level that is far beyond the work they do. Although you spend most of your time with the people you work with, how well do you really know them as people? We found that we didn’t really know each other very well at all. Griffin was able to connect our team on a level that we had yet to accomplish.

    Adam

    Co-Founder & CEO, Digital Sparks Studios

  • The amount that I grew in a little over a year has me feeling proud of myself. I feel excited for what the future holds and I feel that the tools and skills I developed emotionally and with myself are setting me up for some big stuff in the future.

    Patrick

    Founder, Pat Smith Wellness

  • I'm getting so much out of this group. It's helped me to better tap into my emotions and provide healthy mitigation strategies. Great group of guys who come together to talk through the challenges and celebrate the wins of life.
