Our Team

Nathan Eklund (President and Founder)- After 13 years of being a classroom teacher, I knew there were other ways I wanted to serve the field of education. Focusing on teacher job satisfaction and organizational improvement in schools, I published my book How Was YOUR Day at School? Improving Dialogue About Teacher Job Satisfaction. The book led to speaking.  Speaking led to consulting which led to launching Eklund Consulting.  Now that focus and passion has led to improving the lives and work of thousands of educators and administrators. 

Scott Butler - I’ve had the opportunity to look at education from a variety of perspectives, 6 years in a high school classroom, 12 years as a high school counselor, 8 years as a middle school administrator and, most recently, 2 years as the director of a K-12 private school. The combination of my experiences showed me the importance of adult relationships in education.  The topic of teacher job satisfaction appeals to all aspects of my professional career - teacher, counselor, and administrator.  I believe that learning happens at the intersection of a well functioning teacher and a well functioning student.

Todd Battaglia - Throughout my eight years of teaching middle school, I believed that there were some situations in schools that were just the way they were for most to all educators.  After working on my school's culture with Eklund Consulting, I saw that things could be different.  Now, working for Eklund Consulting, I love working with educators to make the satisfaction of the job equal their passion for the work.
