Case Study: Growing Heart Expressions Microschool with Purpose, Strategy & Vision

Client:

Heart Expressions Microschool
Founder: Jennifer Lazarus

Overview

When Jennifer attended Melody Duarte’s Purpose & Dreams Workshop, she didn’t realize she was about to redefine the vision for her microschool. That workshop was more than an inspiring event—it was the catalyst that pushed her to dream bigger than she ever had before. Melody encouraged Jennifer to see beyond her current scope and envision a school that not only provided exceptional education but also fostered creativity, entrepreneurship, and community.

From that point on, Melody became a strategic partner in Heart Expressions Microschool’s growth—helping Jennifer turn those bold dreams into a structured, actionable plan.

  • Identified, recruited, and onboarded skilled facilitators to bring these programs to life.

4. Problem-Solving Mentorship

  • Served as a sounding board for decision-making, ensuring alignment with both short-term needs and long-term goals.
