Inspiritus Leadership

 

Inspired leaders create relevant and Sustainable Organizations

The word Inspiritus is Latin for breath, spirit, inspiration.

Drawing inspiration from my granddaughter’s diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis, my mission changed from doing the work—to sharing the work—of breathing spirit and inspiration into organizations that want to level up.

I bring passion, joy, and humor, as well as award-winning experience to the table. We can do this together by using the proven assess, plan, and mastery model always working through community engagement first.

I believe I can make the greatest impact by working with social sector leaders in small to mid-sized organizations as I’ve spent my career working with municipalities, libraries, nonprofits and foundations as small as one person and as large as 100 employees become more relevant and thus sustainable.

What is the social sector? It is all the work that is not done in private or public sectors—it includes non-profits, foundations, arts and culture and social service organizations. My primary focus is libraries and museums.

 
 

Organizational Assessments

Everything Must Align!

It's hard work to achieve a vision and align operation while maintaining a high level of service. Assessing and evaluating your organization's strategies, from policy to communications, is imperative to ensure you are operating at maximum potential and are on message across all channels.

Assessments include evaluations on:

  • Mission/Vision Alignment in relation to Policy and Procedure

  • Communications and Branding

  • Programs and Services

  • Community Needs and Engagement Strategies

  • Fundraising and Development

 
 

Planning For Future Success

Ensure Resiliency and Relevance

I have firsthand experience in helping transform organizations by creating award-winning programs and services that meet the community’s needs. My approach is to analyze all facets of the operation, interview key community members and assess the board and administration’s comfort with change.

I help agencies anticipate the negative economic forces that make it difficult to provide a high level of service. Whether it be updating a strategy or coordinating a restructuring or merger, I add value through expertise in cultural adaptation, assessments, and strategy.

Specifically I develop the following plans and strategies:

  1. Marketing and Engagement Strategies

  2. Strategic or Long-Term Plans

  3. Fundraising and Development Plans

Let’s visualize the future and come up with a plan to get there.

 
 

Coaching: Focus on the Future

The hardest part of carrying out a plan is the actual execution. My coaching strategy is customized to meet your needs. Weekly or monthly calls to check in on goals and discuss strategy and management are the most effective tool I offer.

I work with boards, executive directors and staff at every level. Do you need to provide training and implementation for all staff members to create cascading goals? Let’s get this plan started!

Training: Workshops

I offer engaging workshops to support your goals—working with your board and/or your staff to ensure success.

Do you want to get your staff ready for change? I customize presentations for your team or your conference. Do you need help getting them excited about the future or generating creativity? Or do you need to face the realities of who you serve and what they need by performing an environmental scan or communications audit? Let’s work together to define your goals.

 
 

Here are a few of my standard presentations

Finding Your North Star and Building Map to Get There
Focused on finding purpose/mission for either an individual or an organization.

Mission Creeps--And How to Avoid Them!
Assessing your organization for alignment to the mission.
