Core Competency: Leading People
“Leading People is the ability to provide an inclusive workplace that fosters the development of others, facilitates cooperation and teamwork, and supports constructive resolution of conflicts.”

Accomplishments
Facilitated annual self assessment teams for the past eight years. Each year I led Head Start parents, Policy Council members, CAO staff and community representatives through the self assessment process as reviewed and approved by Policy Council and the Board of Directors. 2011 Head Start Self Assessment

Led a team approach in preparation for two triennial Federal monitoring reviews. The team provided training to staff, Policy Council and the CAO Board. I was responsible for facilitating training meetings; structuring notebooks to allow program area managers to organize large amounts of information; uploading pre-review submittal items; organizing the on-site schedule with the Federal Team Leader; and, was secondary liaison while the monitoring team was on-site. I was also able to fix two potential non-compliances quickly, resolving the issues.
