We have all experienced loss through our lives, but it can sometimes be hard to put our fingers on what we have actually loss. This does not mean that you have not lost something, nor does it mean that your loss is not as important as someone elses. Some losses are obvious, like the loss I have experienced through the loss of my husband. The pain and grief I feel is understanding to everyone. Ambiguous loss occurs when there is no clear loss or no closure. It is important to be positive and stay focused on the future. It's important to feel the feelings. You are not alone!  If you would like to speak to someone on my team, please email us: admin@childcarebusinessprofessionals.comJoin me for our Child Care Business Summit!

Like me, Chanie helps child care center owner and directors take their centers to the next level by helping them learn best business practices. Chanie also believes that we must put the children at the center of all that we do! In this episode we discuss conflict resolution! Chanie gives us something out of the box to think about! Here is more about Chanie and an amazing offer she has for the ECE world: Join Chanie Wilschanski, founder of Schools of Excellence for a FREE 4-day sprint to help you remove overwhelm and interruptions so you can build a calendar and life that serves your personal and professional leadership goals. Join us June 1-4, 2021 at Chanie.me/buildtolast    Join 2,000 other School Leaders in our Free community in our Schools of Excellence Lounge here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1320019694692592   Bio below + attached headshot  Chanie Wilschanski is an Early Childhood Leadership Coach and CEO of Schools of Excellence where she has worked with hundreds of EC Directors and School Owners who are working to build a School of Excellence with higher staff retention, teacher motivation, parent partnership, and collaborative culture.  Chanie began her journey over a decade ago, teaching toddlers at the acclaimed Preschool of the Arts in New York City for 8 years until she continued her path into high studies and earned her Masters in EC and Special Education.  In 2015, she started training teachers and school leaders on the HOW part of creating excellence in their schools.  Now a wife and mother of 4, her hands are full and she understands what it takes to lead a large center and have a full-time job at home, and it breaks my heart when I see so many dedicated school leaders sacrificing all of their time with their family and all of their self care (what self care?) to a school that feels like it’s constantly getting away from them.

In this episode, we are joined by Beth Cannon. Beth does a great job of explaining what we discussed in the following description: While I was training and motivating other teams, my own team was fragmented and disconnected, because I’d hired the wrong people out of desperation and our onboarding systems were dependent on too many fluctuating factors.When I finally got clear on the need to empower my team, put the right systems in place, and learned to manage my time and energy, there was a marked shift in my own mindset and mental health AND I got my joy back!TIME TO LEVEL UP AND TRANSFORM INTO THE LEADER YOU AREMy magic is in my ability to motivate and articulate the exact steps you need to take to organize and strategize your workflows and processes. When the leader levels up, the team experiences the transformation of their talent into performance.You can find more about Beth's Stuck to Strategy Academy here:Stuck to Strategy Academy - Beth Cannon SpeaksFind Beth on Facebook here:(20+) Community Support for Faith-Based & Non-Profit Schools | Facebook

Carmen's story is inspirational! With a group of collogues, Carmen has set out to change the state of ECE in her nation.
