Education in Evolution was founded in 2023 by Dr. Becky Dueben, who earned her doctorate in Higher Education Administration in 2015 and brings over 25 years of experience in the field. The company was established with a clear and compelling purpose: to support higher education leaders and institutions through authentic coaching, intentional strategy, and meaningful organizational change. This mission is especially critical as colleges and universities navigate an increasingly complex and evolving landscape.

We believe leadership is a practice that requires space for reflection, conversation, and connection. Our work centers on helping individuals and institutions evolve with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

What We Do

Education in Evolution provides executive coaching and consulting services tailored specifically for higher education leaders. Our approach combines deep listening, systems thinking, and practical tools to support both personal growth and institutional transformation.

Our services include:

• Executive and leadership coaching for faculty, department chairs, deans, and senior administrators

• Coaching services for academic executives navigating change, complexity, and transition

• Workshops that address culture and climate concerns and strengthen team communication and trust

• Strategic planning series designed to engage diverse stakeholders and foster shared ownership

• Assessment systems support accountability, track progress, and drive sustained impact

Whether we are partnering with an individual leader or guiding organizational coaching for colleges and universities, our work goes beyond surface-level solutions. We help uncover the deeper dynamics at play and support leaders in focusing on what truly matters.

Why We’re Different

We operate as thought partners in academic leadership development—bringing curiosity, clarity, and insight to every engagement. We honor the complexity of higher education and work with our clients to lead with integrity, empathy, and strategic vision.
