Through more than 24 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education and Care industry, I have seen nearly every scenario that can bring an organization to the pinnacle of success or down to its knees. I charted my journey to Strategic Leadership by relying on a visionary, aspirational approach to high-level problem solving. Along the way, I developed tools that prevented the root cause of common problems, drove successful fundraising, and promoted community partnerships. As well as managed organizations with a top-down view to maximize opportunities for growth and financial gain that benefited all in the program.My current focus is on supporting the Early Childhood industry at its core...the people and processes responsible for making an Early Childhood organization truly thrive. This commitment inspired the creation of two companies: Excel Assistance Business Support (excelassist.com), which is dedicated to tackling organizations' challenges and goals through customized solutions, and Skilled Hive (skilledhive.com), a solution-sharing platform offering quick-reference access to strategies implemented by industry leaders. Both initiatives share a common goal – to enhance operations, streamline workflows, and sharpen competitiveness.My motivation is to empower Early Childhood organizations to achieve success with maximum efficiency. Drawing from my experience, I recognize it's not solely about the day-to-day operations and routine activities of the business; it's about strategy! This is why I specialize in meticulously crafting purpose-driven strategic plans for those with less resources to do so. These plans serve as a basis for defeating challenges, propelling organizations to extraordinary heights and ushering them into new realms of accomplishment.
