Get insights from Changemaker Stephanie Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n

SHN: <\/em><\/strong>Obviously, we at SHN think of you as a changemaker, but do you see yourself that way \u2014 are you always excited to drive change?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris:<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>Absolutely, I see myself as a changemaker. Change is in my origin story. I founded this company in 2005 as Turnaround Solutions with the purpose of transforming previously distressed assets through hands-on problem-solving and relationship-based sales solutions. My business card even defines the word \u2018Turnaround\u2019 as \u201cbecoming changed for the better.\u201d It\u2019s ingrained in our culture to constantly improve and evolve, seeking better ways to operate senior living through best practices in sales, marketing, and technology.<\/p>\n

SHN: <\/em><\/strong>In what areas do you think you are a changemaker?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris:<\/em><\/strong> I am a changemaker in building higher performing sales strategies and implementing technologies to automate and supplement workflows.<\/p>\n

What I am most proud of is the culture we have built. Most of our team members come from outside of senior living and must learn the business from our vantage point, versus bringing old solutions and habits. This fresh perspective has helped us build a continuous improvement model and attract a dedicated team committed to revolutionizing how we engage with employees, residents, and families we serve.<\/p>\n

SHN: <\/em><\/strong>Changemakers tend to be risk-takers. Do you agree with that statement? How do you describe your own appetite for risk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harris:<\/em><\/strong> I am a risk-taker. I bet the house when I formed this business while in law school, so much so that I had to move into my office. Over the past 24 years in this industry, my appetite for risk has become more balanced by a strategic approach to decision-making. I believe in taking calculated risks that drive innovation and growth. I do find myself more focused on gentle evolution versus revolutionary change as our organization grows and matures. I worry in some ways that over time I may hinder future progress if my appetite for risk changes.<\/p>\n
