Services and Sectors

---

I serve commercial and nonprofit organizations:

Government contractors with new awards yet staff shortages still need to bring the Statement of Objectives/Work to a successful completion. That is when I help rapidly launch the program and manage team efforts for outreach, education and change management contracts.

• Assessment and strategy development: Provide a fresh perspective on strengths, opportunities, and challenges that result in insightful solutions.

• Project planning and launch: Deliver detailed operational timelines that provide an organized pathway to project launch and delivery.

• Management: Collaborate with organization's leadership, staff, and vendors to provide on-going assessment and guidance in order to reach goals.

Nonprofits experiencing a leadership transition are helped by interim director services so that the Board of Directors has time to find the best person for the position, and the program, operations and development efforts continue to progress. In addition, I collaborate with fellow fundraising and development consultants to support you and your team reach essential funding goals.

Through my interactive workshop, leaders and staff learn a practical tool to improve engagement, halt burnout, and build resilience by reducing distracting stress from professional and interpersonal challenges. Such challenges happen, but did you know:

According to the Harvard Business Review, due to challenging situations: 

• over 65% of staff report decline in performance
• 80% lose work time due to worrying

In response to these adverse consequences, I share a personal action plan model and a two-pronged method to help shorten the length of time spent in this state of distracting stress and to restore engagement besides other benefits. Learn more at my website:  Peace of Mind at Work

As Interim Director, entered a membership organization that had a virus in its onsite server and a flat database. Their annual member’s conference was two months out. Within the first few days provided assessment and budgeting for a redesigned information technology infrastructure resulting in implementation at 60% cost savings. Managed staff and operations for a successful, out-of-state conference. Reorganized HR files and reviewed policies and procedures. Drafted extensive customer relationship management software request for proposal leading to acquisition and implementation. Conducted listening tour with Board and staff. Wrote reports and made recommendations.

As Program Manager, supported a government contractor with a sudden surplus of awards. Collaborated with leadership to launch and manage the Combined Federal Campaign Outreach Coordinator Program that drives nationwide development efforts resulting in $27.5 mil pledged. Set agendas to advance each stage of the program. Coordinated program operations efforts including website development, social media and graphic design. Ran analysis of weekly pledge data to help provide strategic direction. Wrote weekly, monthly and final reports with recommendations and contributed to new business proposals. Conducted training webinars for a nationwide audience. 

As creator of Peace of Mind at Work workshops, I have conducted off-site workshops that kick-off leadership's annual meetings and facilitated on-site programs for office and warehouse employees. Participants appreciated the mix of interactions and meaningful content. They left with a practical method to re-engage, halt burnout, and improve resilience. In addition, leaders left with a new management strategy.
