Dr. Charity Holland
Retention by Design: How to Build Loyal Teams Through Systems and Playful Leadership
Dr. Charity Holland knows what it takes to keep great educators — because she’s done it. With team members who’ve been with her for over 16 years, Charity has mastered the art of staff retention through intentional onboarding, clear systems, and a unique culture of playful leadership. In this practical and inspiring session, she’ll reveal the exact methods she uses to create structure without stifling creativity, empower staff to lead with joy, and cultivate a workplace where people want to stay and grow. If you’re tired of high turnover and ready to build a loyal, high-performing team, this session will give you the blueprint.
Wei-Li Chong
The Power Of Transparency: Aligning Culture & Performance For Scalable Growth
As the former President of KinderCare — the largest childcare provider in the U.S. — Wei-Li Chong brings unmatched expertise in leading at scale. In this transformative session, he shares a powerful framework that connects two often-siloed priorities: high-performing business outcomes and a thriving workplace culture. Through real-world case studies and the game-changing “Velocity Matrix,” you’ll learn how to assess your workforce health, identify hidden productivity gaps, and use transparency to drive better utilization, safety, and family satisfaction — all while building a culture where people want to stay and succeed. If you’re ready to stop choosing between operational excellence and team wellbeing, this session will show you how to have both.
Beth Cannon
Unlocking Gen Z: How to Build and Lead a Thriving Next-Gen Team
Beth Cannon brings her trademark energy, humor, and no-fluff strategies to this must-attend session on building powerhouse teams with Generation Z. Having trained thousands of educators across the U.S. and led her own thriving business with a predominantly Gen Z workforce, Beth understands exactly what makes this generation tick — and what doesn’t. In this session, you’ll learn how to attract, engage, and retain Gen Z team members by tapping into their values, communication styles, and motivations. Whether you’re struggling with accountability, buy-in, or just trying to “speak their language,” Beth will give you the tools to shift your culture and lead with impact across generations.
Dr Zac Bauerman
It’s All About People: The Leadership Framework That Transforms Teams and Lives
After going viral for his powerful student interactions, Dr. Zac Bauermaster quickly became a national voice on what truly drives meaningful leadership: people. In this inspiring and deeply human session, Zac shares a personal turning point that reshaped his approach and introduces his signature PEOPLE Framework—Prioritize, Empathize, Observe, Purpose, Love, and Encourage. Whether you’re leading a business, a classroom, or a team, you’ll walk away with simple, powerful strategies to build stronger relationships, foster trust, and create cultures where people feel seen, supported, and inspired. This session is your reminder—and your roadmap—that leadership isn’t about titles or tactics. It’s about people. And when you lead with heart, everything changes.
Dr. Teri De Lucca
Lead Yourself, Then Lead Others: The Four Pillars of Exceptional Leadership
In this powerful, practical session, Dr. Teri DeLuca combines four of her most in-demand leadership topics into one transformative experience for early childhood owners and leaders. You’ll learn how to lead yourself well by mastering personal accountability and managing daily stress with proven brain-based techniques. Then, explore the 10 key dimensions of a thriving culture and how to proactively prevent drama and burnout within your team. From there, dive into next-level communication skills, including how to stop avoiding difficult conversations and de-escalate them with confidence and clarity. Finally, walk away with real tools to coach and grow your team, using feedback strategies that uplift rather than shame. Whether you're managing one center or many, this session delivers the mindset and methods you need to lead with strength and humanity.
Tym The Trainer
Leading with Resilience: Strengthening Your Team from the Inside Out
In this energizing and deeply practical session, Tymothy Smith — a veteran early childhood leader and coach — explores how to build emotionally resilient teams in today’s high-pressure environment. With warmth, humor, and real-world insight, Tymothy unpacks the concept of the “invisible bag” we all carry — the beliefs, experiences, and stressors that shape how we lead, communicate, and respond to challenges. You'll discover simple, powerful strategies to expand your team’s “window of tolerance,” transform difficult interactions into leadership opportunities, and create a culture where both adults and children thrive. If you want your team to feel more equipped, empowered, and engaged, this session is a must.
