Our Speakers:
Beth Cannon
Beth Cannon is a dynamic keynote speaker, coach, and business and leadership strategist best known for her exceptional ability to empower and equip early education leaders and teams with systems and strategies that create a framework for freedom in their work and life.
With a unique and highly effective approach to optimizing operations and building better leaders, Beth has created a variety of strategy development and training programs, having worked with some of the largest brands in childcare.
Beth is a sought-after speaker, coach, and consultant, where she has delivered numerous transformational keynotes and workshops at the industry’s finest conferences and events.
She’s also the creator of The Leader’s Lounge – an online platform for early education professional development that brings together the biggest and best speakers in the early education space. You can find her chatting it up on multiple industry podcasts, webinars, and the mix of social platforms.
Her passion for kids (and fitness!) led her to start Stretch-n-Grow – an international children’s fitness franchise- in 1999. She quickly became the #1 business owner, and as an instructional design specialist, she created the business operations and employee management systems, instructor certification program, and is the International Corporate Trainer for franchisees across the globe. Beth is also a registered early education trainer and certified classroom teacher with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications/Education from the University of Texas at Arlington
Scott Wayman
Scott Wayman is the Founder of Kangarootime, the leading software solution built to help childcare centers succeed. In 2015, as a young parent-guardian, Scott was inspired to found Kangarootime when he discovered the lack of technology available in the early childhood industry. He designed Kangarootime to bring the same efficiencies to childcare and to give childcare professionals the tools to scale their classrooms, automate their businesses and better communicate with the families they serve. When he’s not coming up with new ways to improve the world around him, he enjoys cycling, and being a devoted husband, dog-lover and prankster.
