Sheilah Vance, Esq.
Sheilah Vance, Esq. grew up on Rebel Hill in Gulph Mills, Pennsylvania and resides in Washington, D.C. She has written and presented extensively about the Philadelphia Campaign of the Revolutionary War. She is the author of the article, “Valley Forge’s Threshold: The Encampment at Gulph Mills,” in the Journal of the American Revolution https://allthingsliberty.com/2019/11/valley-forges-threshold-the-encampment-at-gulph-mills/; the award-winning novel, Becoming Valley Forge, https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Valley-Forge-Sheilah-Vance-ebook/dp/B019BLA48Q; and the mini e-book, Six Days in December: General George Washington’s and the Continental Army’s Encampment on Rebel Hill and Gulph Mills, December 12–19, 1777.
Vance is the only leadership strategist in America whose framework is built entirely from primary-source documents of the Gulph Mills Encampment of the Revolutionary War. Her Threshold Framework—five leadership principles drawn from the six days Washington’s Continental Army spent at Gulph Mills before marching to Valley Forge—gives executives, attorneys, and institutional leaders a battle-tested decision making system that is 250 old and still relevant to today’s leaders.
Vance is also the author of the novels Chasing the 400 and Land Mines and the inspirational book, Creativity for Christians, with Reverend Felica Howard.
A practicing attorney and higher education administrator, Vance has a BA from Howard University School of Communications and a JD from Georgetown University.
