— Clear Vision and Aligned Action for Right-Livelihood Leaders & Entrepreneurs

— Conscious Transformation Practices

— Skillful, Vision-Aligned Communication & Marketing for Right-Livelihood Entrepreneurs and Solopreneurs

— Work, entrepreneuring, and leadership as 'engaged spirituality' and 'lived purpose'

— Skillful and Intuitive Inquiry (the art of asking really good questions!)

— Using timeless wisdom and archetypes for greater effectiveness, purpose-alignment, wisdom, brilliance, creativity, meaning, joy, and balance (individual and/or group). This supports conscious change, inspired leadership, and clear purpose/powerful vision programs.

...and other topics aligned with the Ivy Sea® vision and the content you see on this web site.

"Walters is a prophet of an emerging new economy of intelligent, caring, cutting edge entrepreneurs who seek to make a living — not a killing." — David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning; When Corporations Rule the World and A Post-Corporate World; former faculty, Harvard Business School; and board chair, Positive Futures Network.


"Even when Jamie makes casual friendly comments to me, Ive learned to assume she's channeling the highest creative guidance and follow it just in case. Applying her recommendations, I continue to experience pleasant surprises and brilliant rewards, personally and professionally. With rare-to-find integrity, she is a true visionary leader towards a brighter future for us all." ~ R.M., Right-Livelihood Entrepreneur, San Francisco, CA


"In my experience working with Jamie over the years, there is such a great energy, and such a wonderful flow. I leave our sessions with upliftment, inspiration, greater clarity, a personal sense of empowerment, and a lot of good new thoughts percolating. I find myself buoyed up and moved to new heights." —L.E., New-Era Change Leader, and Founder of Paths to Change, Oakland, CA


"As a result of my work thus far with Ivy Sea, I am opening new frontiers that I couldn’t even imagine before our work together. Jamie has a rare blend of intelligence, intuition, business wisdom, and most of all, the vision of an Eagle. Of everyone I know and have worked with, I trust her without reservation. For the first time I really feel truly and expertly supported." — C.M., Enterprise Founder and Right-Livelihood Entrepreneur


"As the title of her book (Big Vision, Small Business) would imply, Jamie is ambi-talented: She is extremely gifted at the art of visioning while remaining attentive to detail. Creative and resourceful, she brings wit and grace to everything she does." — M.O.S., Author and Spiritual Director


"I’ve known and admired Jamie Walters for many years. Her brainchild, Ivy Sea, along with her unique perspectives and insights, provide the fuel for our continuing dialogue on progressive organizations and the requisite communications strategies that will bring them to fruition. As an organizational psychology scholar, I eagerly anticipate my encounters with Jamie to share her latest visionary observations." — T.Q. Hill, Organizational Development and Communication Executive


"Jamie Walters is an entrepreneurial visionary — wisely focused, inspirational, calm and infectiously motivational. She regularly challenges my notions, educates my methods, and opens my ears. You can't walk away from a conversation with her without experiencing re-energized clarity and feeling compelled to rethink some key part of your process." — S.P.T., Enterprise Founder


"When you’re running a business, you spend all your time putting out fires. Jamie was able to pull us away from the day to day and get us to look at the bigger picture. Now the biggest "fire" is not always the client that is yelling the loudest, but the things that align with our larger goals." — P.R., Enterprise Co-Founder

Jamie's media interviews and links

Jamie Walters is a visionary, 'creative inquirist', transformation guide, inspiration catalyst, and "prophet of an emerging new economy of intelligent, caring, cutting edge entrepreneurs," according to visionary author and culture-shift leader David Korten.

She is the founder of Ivy Sea, author of Big Vision, Small Business — the trail-blazing and critically acclaimed handbook for conscious SOHO/Solo enterprise published by Berrett-Koehler (Winter 2002-2003)— and Leading at the Visionary Edge (forthcoming from ICFAI University Press). She is also the creatrix of Ivy Sea Online.

In addition to her writing and speaking, Jamie inspires and acts as thought-and-idea-partner to individual new-era leaders, healers, and right-livelihood entrepreneurs to help them align with their purpose, empower their communication, navigate transformation, and bring their brightest, boldest visions to life, while staying centered and sane (that kinda helps!).

Over the 15 years since founding her firm, she has consulted to leaders, managers, and change agents in very large and very small organizations, and to for-profit and nonprofit enterprises.

Having navigated the waves and tunnels of deep change and challenging transformation herself — both as an individual and as an enterprise founder — Jamie is passionate about holding the lantern, sharing insight, and guiding others so that theirs may be an easier way.

Her specialty is uniting the theoretical or esoteric with 'engaged action', and the 'wispy, 'out-there' concepts with real-world, practical action. She's also known for having a knack for seeing the patterns in the seeming chaos.

She has a deep passion for ancient and contemporary wisdom traditions and practices, including 'engaged (lived) spirituality' and the Divine Feminine. She often weaves this into her work in subtle and overt ways to bring a new genius, creativity, and momentum into that which seemed stuck, stale, or stunned silly!

If Jamie or one of her fellow Ivy Sea collaborators can share their experience, insight, inspiration, and expertise to help you clarify your vision and your way, send along an email or give us a call at 415.752.6317.

What's at the core of your philosophy or approach?

How we experience our lives and the circumstances that come up depends completely on our perspective -- the way we think and what we believe. It's a choice, and that's very empowering!

For me, that means rooting what we do in a heartful, joyful, colorful, juicy engaged spirituality or lived philosophy; and finding a tribe of kindred spirits that inspire and celebrate that. Why not?

What do you focus on, primarily, in your work and consultations?

All of the focus-areas ultimately fall under the umbrella of mindful transformation and aligning with your unique blueprint, purpose, vision, and values.

This might translate to the specifics of your right-livelihood, expressed purpose and vision, skillful communication, inspired leadership, or conscious co-creation -- all expressions and potential contributions based on who you truly are.

What do your clients and readers seek from you?

Most are feeling a very deep yearning to connect with true purpose; a desire to live, work, and create authentically; a need to express a bold vision; and/or going through some sort of transformation or evolution. They're looking for inspiration, spark, clarity, a renewed sense of vision and mission, encouragement, TLC, edgy questions, and just a new or different way of seeing things.

That translates into ideas, exploration, options, possibility, dialogue, guidance, kindness, steadiness, and a very open and genuine willingness to share information and experience. They count on me to listen deeply, ask good (and sometimes hard) questions, and suggest just the right resources, reflection questions, perspectives, and practices. It's pretty organic.

How do you want others to feel after they've interacted with you?

Seen, heard, and deeply respected. Inspired or catalyzed, enlivened, in some way. And since we almost always end up laughing, there would be a sense of joy and upliftment as well.

What amazes you?

Everything. I read recently that awe is the gateway to being fully alive -- truly and fully living -- and my own experience leads me to believe that. Be amazed, and watch what blossoms!

Share some of your favorite quotations.

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid." ~ Wolfgang von Goethe

"Sit down and be quiet, for you are drunk and sitting at the edge of the roof." ~ Rumi

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." ~ Oscar Wilde

"If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way." ~ Emile Zola

If you were a non-human object/being, what would you be?

In the physical world, I’d be water. It’s fluid, gets around and into just about everything, and keeps right on flowing.

Favorite foods?

Lots of them. I live in the midst of culinary bounty, but a good burrito or homemade chicken soup always bring warmth to belly and soul!

Name your biggest pet peeves.

When people are cruel or chronically inconsiderate.

What's on your reading table now?

I actually have several stacks, because I'm immersed in the research for my next book or "body of work," which always influences my writing, consultations and personal evolution along the way. At this moment, I'm reading Radical Wisdom, by Beverly Lanzetta.

Soar to a new level ...

Whether clarifying your true-vision, aligning 'work' with your most deeply-held values, adopting a holographic business model, using 'the power of the Word' for more authentic communication, or aligning spiritual and Divine Feminine Wisdom with your life and livelihood, an Ivy Sea consultation offers light on your path.
