About Our Founder

About Shirley Cress Dudley, founder of SCD Consulting Services, Fractional Executive Connection and the Fractional Executive Summit

Sometimes I’m asked- “How did you get into the field of online marketing consulting and why focus on small businesses and fractional executives? ”…. It’s a great question.

Here are a few bullet points about my educational and business background:About CEO Shirley Cress Dudley​

  • BA in Communications – Public Relations from UNC-Greensboro
  • Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Southwestern in Fort Worth, Texas
  • Master’s degree in Education from Southwestern in Fort Worth, Texas
  • LCHMC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) in the state of North Carolina
  • NCC (nationally certified counselor) retired
  • FACMPE (Fellow in the American College of Medical Group Management) retired
  • CMPE (Certified Medical Practice Executive) retired
  • Author of the best selling book, Fractional Executives Are the Future
  • Author of the best selling book, Blended Family Advice
  • Former practice manager and administrator of various medical groups (doctor’s offices)

In 2009, I founded The Blended and Step Family Resource Center (also called Blended Family Advice.)  Learning about the internet was fascinating to me, and I spent quite a few hours, every day, learning more and more about search engine optimization, web 2.0 strategies, social media, and other ways to make my business grow and improve.

As my book, Blended Family Advice became a best seller, and The Blended and Step Family Resource Center became more popular,  people started coming to me and asking for help with their websites and social media strategies. The number of requests increased, and I started wondering if this was something I should think about as a business.  I took more online classes, was mentored, and formed SCD Consulting Services in 2010.

What I enjoy most in life is helping people be the best they can be. I get a great deal of satisfaction when I help a business owner create a stronger presence on the internet, attract more customers and generate more revenue. I also identify with fractional executives, transitioning to a more flexible lifestyle and creating porfolio careers. I love helping businesses and executives be more successful. 

If you have any questions, you can email me directly at Shirley@SCDConsultingServices.com
