Welcome back to another episode of The Ops Authority Podcast! I have Kimberly Howard on the show today. Kimberly is a Certified Director Of Operations and she is sharing her journey from educator to DOO.
Meet Kim
Kimberly Howard brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, balancing roles as a wife, mom, military veteran, educator, and savvy business owner. In 2022, she made a bold move, leaving behind her teaching career to support her best friend’s real estate coaching business. From managing a YouTube channel and online courses to overseeing operations for her husband’s photography studio, Kimberly’s journey quickly evolved into a whirlwind of roles and responsibilities.
Along the way, she realized the importance of smooth and efficient operations, regardless of the industry. Chatting with other business owners, they’d often say, “I need a Kim in my business!” These conversations sparked her pursuit of the Director of Operations certification. Now, she’s on a mission to empower women in business to excel both professionally and personally through streamlined operations and purpose-driven action.
The Strategic Mapping Model™: A Blueprint for Success
One of the pivotal points in Kim’s story was when she used the Strategic Mapping Model™ that she learned in the DOO certification program. This model helped her create a strategic plan for clients. It quickly became a valuable tool for her business and clients.
Implementing the Strategic Mapping Model™
Her successful implementation of the Strategic Mapping Model™ was evident when she sold ten strategic mappings during a women’s retreat. She explained that she often heard “I need a Kim in my business” and with the Strategic Mapping Model™, she was able to deliver.
The Versatility of the Strategic Mapping Model™
Kim’s continued success in selling and delivering strategic mappings demonstrates the model’s versatility. Whether it’s a small business or a large corporation, the Strategic Mapping Model™ can be adapted to fit different business contexts.
Kim’s journey from educator to certified Director of Operations is a powerful example of how strategic planning and professional development can drive success. By investing in the DOO Certification and learning and implementing the frameworks like the strategic mapping model, you can elevate your operations and deliver exceptional value to your clients.
