Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Kimberly Ellison.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
DKEG Professional Development & Training, LLC is your premier and leading solutions based consulting company with a next level learning framework designed to take your business, brand, and career from high potential to high achieving. My passion and purpose is seeing, experiencing, and being a vital part of the personal, professional, and spiritual growth and development of people! Since I was six years old I’ve been teaching from my mother’s coffee table in our small apartment living room. I’ve dreaded the last day of school every year since kindergarten because I loved learning so much, I didn’t want the school year to end!
At the passionate age of six, I would sit in front of the coffee table with pen and paper in hand, and have a class with the decorative figurines that sat on my mother’s coffee table in our small apartment living room. I would start with a lesson and teach until my heart was content. It was at that small coffee table, in our small apartment when my passion and destiny collided. My passion fueled my dreams of becoming an international speaker, professional development expert, a knowledgeable performance improvement and training professional, author, strategist and other things I’ve yet to discover!
I love to see people become the grandest version of the greatest vision they’ve ever seen of themselves. Over the past 15 years, I’ve brought my solutions oriented and outcome-driven expertise to small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, non-profits organizations, churches, and individuals. My passion is connected to optimizing organizational leadership, and individual performance while advancing women worldwide, and my purpose is to help you become the best part of your passion and through DKEG I am able to impact individuals around the world.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Some of the greatest challenges have been learning the business of the business. Most often, entrepreneur’s tend to work in the business instead of on the business and that is where I struggled the most. Learning the financial aspects of operating a business as a company and not a hobby.
I’ve learned some tough lessons at a high expense. If you think knowledge is expensive, the lack of knowledge is a greater expense, it will cost you. Each loss taught a lesson, each struggle made me stronger and my business is better and I have more sustainable systems in place to succeed.
