A sneak peek inside the episode:

" I think change management empowers me with the ability to put myself in other's shoes: I care about people, their thoughts, their values, their experiences - because the early childhood industry is truly about relationships. And what stuck with me about change management is the "Yes, and..." approach. You don't have to be a profitable business, or choose quality and experience. Change management really enables organizations to marry the data and the goals with the people component of the industry."
