Growing up, I never imagined entrepreneurship as my personal path; however, I’ve found joy in being a multi-creative entrepreneur and an executive in nonprofit and educational settings. I’ve always thought, I have to do one thing and be great at that…false! Being an entrepreneur has helped me to grow and understand many facets of business and the nonprofit sector. Grateful for this purpose-driven path and the opportunity to support others along my journey. The most valuable lesson learned in business has been how to PIVOT. Life and business has its ebbs and flows, how you respond makes all the difference! “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” -Dr. Maya Angelou COVID may have forced our studio doors to close, but the YOGA JOY doors are always open, moving about from school to school. Happy Small Business week! #SupportSmallBusinesses #SupportLocal #SchoolBased #MentalHealth #YogaJoy #ChildrensYoga #Share

I’m excited to see this education become truly accessible! The U.S. higher education system has been successful because of its extraordinary variety. St. John’s is unique, and with emergent higher ed movements like micro-colleges, U.S. higher ed continues to be a model for innovation - even (especially?) when that innovation delivers centuries of wisdom, like SJC does with the Western and Eastern Classics, like Outer Coast with the Tlingit teachings, and so many more. #classics #highereducation #FirstPeoples #leadership #affordable #access #inclusionisinnovation

📣The nutrition gaps in today’s public schools are tomorrow’s public health crises. Our kids shouldn’t grow up with routine caloric deficiencies - it creates lifelong health problems. I celebrate PepsiCo Foundation’s commitment to rural youth, but am also reminded that there are extreme limitations on what can be spent on food in public schools for students to receive free lunch (about $1.70 for food ingredients per meal) - often resulting in severe caloric deficiencies even if students eat full meals, which many won’t due to limited time or food quality issues. We have so many resources - hungry children growing up with poor bone health and muscular development shouldn’t be this commonplace, but it is. #PublicHealth #k12 #nutrition #publiceducation

Innovation comes from female and underrepresented founders - it’s good business to support #SWAM founders, they see market opportunity where others dismiss it! #innovation #diversity #marketleadership Scott Galloway

📊Measurement continues to be of key - and growing - importance. Family philanthropies seek clear indications of achievability and impact. But how do you assess two similar enterprises with incommensurate measurements of impact? Sector expertise can help guide philanthropies toward efficient and high impact philanthropies, delivering important changes. Look for expertise in the sectors you value most as well as secondary impact in related sectors, to deliver the changes you dream of without unintended consequences. If your philanthropic goals seem distant, connect with a CCCV expert today. #philanthropicleadership #impact #data #visionaryphilanthropy
