CORE OFFERINGS
Building, training, and leading high functioning development and corporate relations teams
My cross-sector experiences working within both the NPO and corporate sectors give me unique perspective and insight into the challenges they face.
I understand the complexities and frustrations in trying to maximize potential, when there may be a lack of clarity or direction, an undefined 'core' business concept, revenue challenges, or dissatisfied employees.
Here’s how I can help…
Non-profit Resource Development
Building a solid foundation on the right fundamentals
Effective resource development requires building long-term, sustainable relationships with other human beings. Whether it be individual giving, major gifts, corporate relations, or a grants program, a sound infrastructure, seamless processes, and strategies are necessary for success. Generating revenue for your organization requires the entire organization to understand their role.
If you’re building a development program or want to take your existing team to the next level, I can help.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Helping to integrate your company into our community
Corporate Engagement Programs matter now more than ever. Our young workforce care more about community engagement than any prior generation and often choose an employer based on their Corporate Social Responsibility offerings. I’ve worked with hundreds of local companies to define their employee interests, vet community partners, and create well-designed community engagement programs and partnerships.
If your company is ready to plug into the community or take a more intentional approach with your current effort, I can help.
Organizational Design
Formulating a mission, vision, and core values
A clear understanding of why your business or organization exists is critical for success. Equally important is a compelling vision for the change you want to bring about in the world as a result of your work. In order to unearth a mission and vision that inspires others, you first have to decide on what you stand for and what you stand against. Core values are more than lofty words in the ‘About Us’ section of your website, they are the guiding principles that form the DNA of your business.
If your company or organization has lost its rudder and you’re not clear who you are or who you want to become, I can help.
Leadership Development
Building on leadership skills with a clear vision
Leadership and management are very different functions. Inspiring others to follow requires a clear vision that motivates others to act. The most effective leaders I’ve known make expectations clear, provide the tools necessary for success, and hold others accountable even when it’s uncomfortable. Competent leaders are aware of their strengths and their weaknesses. They understand how to build and train diverse teams with complementary skill sets that align around organizational objectives.
If you find yourself in a new leadership role or feel stagnant in longtime role, I can help.
