Success Beyond the Classroom is a space where Christ is preached and prayer is a weapon. Shawnonne knows the power of prayer and the name of Jesus! She understands it from the heart of a parents, teacher, admin and community liason. Her semi-monthly Podcast are rooted in the Word of God because it's needed to uplifted, strengthened as we walk out the gifts God has placed in each of us. Shawnonne shares scripture based teaechings to help teachers stand within the field that so many believe is not worth getting into. It's not just a profession, it's a God ordained calling and we must be equipped to help teach the families in which we serve. God wants us to ha
Part of Her Testimony: "After being brought into the office to be told I was being laid off I asked the question "Why me?". (Literally). I didn't understand how someone as skilled, passionate and awesome could be let go. But in all the thick of it, I wasn't remembering that I wasn't living MY plan, it was HIS I was needing to commit to. After a few success endeavors, I felt and heard God say, "Buy Little People Preschool". So, basically; with this WILD thing called Faith; we did just that. You see, the business we purchased and expanded is the same business that laid me off."
Trust.HIM.Period.

What is it that is holding you in the present and keeping you from accessing your brightest future? This presentation is built on years working with educators such as yourself who are feeling like they aren't where they should or need to be. I will help you and your team figure out, not just what is coming next, but how to shape what is coming next.
I developed this interactive presentation while working with families in unique settings. While there were plenty of interactions between your teams and the families served, the connections between them were never utilized efficiently. We worked to establish how to form inter- and intra-network connections that allow for better workflow and results with longer term stability.
We all know how to start a business, but what are the final steps that only the most successful people know about? Using my patented Beyond the Classroom Courses Strategy, this workshop will help your team learn how to lead with unparalleled compassion and excellence. Both for themselves and the clients.
