Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for Healthy, Human-Centered Systems.

Systems thrive when the adults within them are supported to lead with awareness, intention, and care. Come Home Collective works through the lens of emotionally intelligent leadership, focusing on adult development as a primary driver of culture, belonging, wellbeing, and performance.

Our work is rooted in education—one of the most complex human systems we have—where we partner with leaders, educators, districts, and mission-aligned organizations to move emotional intelligence from a concept to a lived practice. By centering adult learning first, we help leaders design environments where people feel connected, supported, and able to do their best work—creating conditions where students and communities can thrive.

Stories from our partners

  • Griffin’s commitment to our profession, his understanding of student development, and his passion for leadership that promotes emotional intelligence in schools is unmatched.

    Former Superintendent

  • Teachers felt very comfortable with Griffin and he was able to support individuals and teams because of his keen ability to connect with people on an individual and collective level.

    Principal K-5

  • It's become the foundation of how I teach.

    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.
