WHAT IS THE MISSION OF
YOUR BUSINESS?
Stratford Academy challenges students
to reach their full potential. We believe in
setting the bar high and supporting our
students as they work to reach their goals.
We believe that it is our duty to identify the
innate gi s and talents that lie within each
of our students. We create opportunities for
students to work within their area of passion,
practice, and fine-tune their gi s.
WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR WOMEN
WANTING TO START THEIR OWN
BUSINESS, GOING BACK TO WORK, OR
STARTING A NEW CAREER IN MACON?
Not only is Macon a vibrant community
with a rich cultural history, but it is growing
and ever-changing, so there are many
opportunities for women to step out into
new endeavors. My advice for women who
are taking that leap into something new
would be to lean into the supportive
community around you. There are so many
women here in Macon who support and
celebrate the success of other women. Tap
into that support system. It's unlike anything
I've ever seen before.
I ADMIRE WOMEN WHO:
Support and encourage other women
— women who search for, identify, and
openly praise the incredible qualities and
characteristics of the women around them.
WHAT WAS THE BEST BUSINESS
ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED?
Every single decision, large and small, must
be decided based on the outcome that will
best propel the mission of the school forward.
Speak the mission. Live the mission. Lead
the mission.
