T.R. Sherlock, Author
"In 2021, Pam and I began talking about a piece for her online news agency, as it related to the death of my son. The long talks and interviews blossomed into an amazing friendship, that would lead to a partnership. Pam was the leading voice behind me writing my story, and creating something that would truly impact others. Pam has been the editing eyes, the therapeutic ear, the marketing brainstorm, and publishing guide throughout my journey in writing my book. Her endless advice and vast knowledge were beyond needed. Since Pam is a 5x published author and an expert in keynote speaking, she opened endless avenues for me in the world of literature, guest speaking, advocating, and so much more."
A Song for Kalen: Lessons Learned from the Life and Death of my Son
Cory Allen, Author
"Pam has been a consummate professional and continues to impress with her phenomenal interview skills and knowledge of the literary world. For example, she took a subpar press release, turned it into a document that demanded attention, and proved effective in getting responses and interviews from many media outlets regarding my book. I can’t speak highly enough of her and I hope to find ways to work together again. She’s one of a kind!"

Executive Consulting
Fundraising
Pamela has raised millions of dollars for non-profit missions, holding roles in stewardship, annual fund management, major gift work, and ultimately as a c-suite executive leading entire divisions. Raising funds for a nonprofit mission remains both an art and a science, and Pam understands development work at the deepest level. She can help your organization raise more money for your mission; develop a powerful team focused on best practices in philanthropy; capitalize on your strengths; identify areas where you may be underperforming; teach staff, volunteers, and board members how to be the best fundraisers they can be; and achieve those transformational fundraising goals.
Marketing
As a c-suite executive serving as Vice President and advisor to Presidents and Boards, Pamela led marketing divisions for years in the non-profit sector. Her teams launched institutional rebrands, new websites, conducted extensive market research, built out institutional dashboards, wrote integrated marketing and communication plans, and managed all aspects of content development, marketing, and advertising. Pamela can help your organization develop its brand story while establishing operational practices that lead to the achievement of KPIs.
Leadership & Management Training
Building teams to achieve best-in-class results takes a deliberate, methodical process. For over twenty years, Pam studied leadership theory, and the workplace became her laboratory. The result: Pam's teams rarely missed a goal. Her trainings hinge on a process she developed called the T.I.M. Principle: Translate, Innovate, Manage, which she then embedded in a comprehensive leader-manager model. Most development programs focus on one thing: leadership or management; innovation or team building; broad concepts or tactical tools. Yet, any missing piece can lead to failure. Pam teaches systems that funnel goals from the strategic plan to individual evaluations. You learn to harmonize competing tensions, develop plug-and-play communication channels, and hold teams accountable in a simple, non-dramatic ways.
