Some families watch football, have potlucks every Sunday or go on vacations to Disney. In my family, we talk business. One of Dad's favorite stories to tell is how he taught me the word negotiate when I was a toddler, "I'd say to you negotiate and you'd repeat aaaagotiate". He loves that story and so do I.I am the product of excellent mentorship. I was taught sales strategy, admissions operations, and data driven decision making from Nate Hartmann. Executive think, business proposal structure, how to win a budget, and was challenged to always think bigger by Marco Merida. I learned BHC mergers and acquisitions and the blueprint for a successful detox from Isaiah Goldman. From Jamie Vance, I learned how to survive a high-pressure environment, strategic business development, and the importance of a balanced life. Admittedly, I am still working on the last one. Last but not least, I've spent 37 years as my Father's daughter. An assisted living owner operator, a real estate mogul, the visionary behind Leiper's Fork, TN, and the philanthropist behind dozens of non-profit efforts in our community. The point is, as a private consultant, my clients get access to so much more than what I could have accomplished on my own.Behavioral Healthcare saves lives, but for many organizations, it's an ongoing struggle to generate the revenue to continue doing great work. I can help with that. I have held positions like Director of Strategic Projects, Director of Admissions, and Chief Operating Officer. Building call centers, admissions teams, sales strategy, training, and driving revenue goals is an area of expertise. Operationally, I help companies identify structural and cultural barriers to excellence, recommend opportunities for growth, and educate on the risks of a "sick system".Jamie Vance and I made the decision to team up to provide an even greater level of service to the clients we serve. Through the Vance Group, we are able to offer the full spectrum of behavioral healthcare consulting services from startup, funding, marketing, sales, operations, and more. If you think your company could benefit from our services, please reach out for a free consultation. It would be a pleasure to serve you.
