Vergil’s Coffee Table began as a personal practice—writing early, building small tools, paying attention to what helps work last. Over time, that practice has occasionally become shared work.
I sometimes collaborate with educators, schools, and organizations who are asking questions like these:
- How do we help writing and thinking transfer beyond a single course or assessment?
- How do we design structures that support focus without burnout?
- How do we make space for reflection without turning it into another requirement?
When we work together, the emphasis is rarely on programs or packages. It’s on conditions—for attention, for clarity, for sustained effort. The work might take the shape of professional learning, curriculum design, writing support, or long-term conversation. It often begins small.
Some people arrive here through the book Start Anywhere. Others through the tools, a workshop, or a recommendation from a colleague. However it happens, the first step is usually the same: a conversation to see whether the work makes sense to do together.
Vergil’s Coffee Table isn’t a consulting brand in the traditional sense. It’s a place to pause, to think, and—when the timing is right—to build something useful and durable with others.
If you think there may be a conversation worth having, you’re welcome to reach out.
