The visionary author and culture-shift leader David Korten called Jamie "a prophet of an emerging new economy of intelligent, caring, cutting edge entrepreneurs." She is the founder of Ivy Sea®, the author of Big Vision, Small Business and other works, and a guide and inspiration source for many visionary sole-proprietors, healers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want to go beyond 'business as usual'. Since launching the first incarnation of her firm in 1992, Jamie and her Ivy Sea® collaborators have consulted to and inspired a wide variety of organizations, enterprise leaders, and entrepreneurs to clarify their vision for and navigate the pathways to clear vision, inspired leadership, conscious enterprise, mindful transformation, and skillful communication. Over the years, Jamie and her Ivy Sea allies have inspired and consulted to Fortune 500 corporations, health systems, nonprofit organizations, fast-growth companies, small enterprises, culture-changers, and paradigm-shifters. Jamie's first book, Big Vision, Small Business (Berrett-Koehler Publishers), was released to excellent reviews and several "best of the year" nods, is translated in six languages, and has inspired thousands of solo- and SOHO entrepreneurs around the world. Jamie also contributed to Positively MAD: Making a Difference in Your Organizations, Communities, and the World from Berrett-Koehler, and a collection of her thought-leading leadership articles were compiled as a book, Leading at the Visionary Edge (ICFAI University Press). In addition to her books, Jamie has published many articles, has been featured in USA Today, The Boston Globe, The Washington Times, Inc. Magazine, Priority Magazine, and other publications, and has greatly enjoyed being a guest on a variety of radio shows. Jamie created, produced, and hosted two audio series, the InspiraLogues and the SophiaLogues, and now produces and hosts The Feminine Mojo Show on BlogTalkRadio. She's currently researching her next book, delving into the Feminine, 'the new greening', and sacred relationship. More on that as the process unfolds. A highlight for Jamie, she was a delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women conference in 2010. Professional History In the pre-Ivy Sea years of her professional life, Jamie worked on the legislative staffs of a New York State Assembly Speaker in his NY-regional and Washington, D.C. offices; and on the legislative staff of a California Assembly woman. She handled communication, marketing, and public affairs for a visionary, 'conscious' cosmetics manufacturer and an environmental consulting firm. Just before launching her own firm, Jamie set up and managed the Commonwealth of Virginia's Superfund Environmental Community Relations Program, which included high-visibility, sensitive-issues outreach to more than 40 hazardous waste and environmental cleanup sites throughout Virginia. The program's director commented that Jamie had "through her diligent and effective work, made historically contentious Superfund cleanups a non-issue in Virginia." The 'Timeless Wisdom' Connection From an early age, Jamie has pursued studies of humankind's spiritual, mystical, philosophical, and wisdom traditions, and has augmented her personal practice and study with committed training and ongoing practice in Taoist Qigong, intuitive development, energy healing, and engaged spirituality, which includes 'right livelihood', 'skillful communication', and inspired and integrity centered leadership. Community Involvement She is a former faculty member and forum guide for the Cultural Creative Network and Cultural Creative Business Network; and was an advisory council member for BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies). She is also a past-president of the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators -- at that time, one of the organization's largest chapters. She has adopted, fostered, and 'TLC'd back to wellness' a pretty good number of abused, traumatized, and/or feral kitties in association with various local animal shelters, and she continues to be a behind-the-scenes Muse and advisor for other gathering forces. Education & Continued Learning Jamie received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, where she focused her studies on political science, english and religion. Her continuing education gathered over two decades has included graduate courses, intensives, one-on-one instruction, apprenticing, and personal study. Highlights of completed courses and/or certifications include: • Strategic Change Facilitation (Interaction Associates) • Meeting Facilitation (Interaction Associates) • Coaching for Performance (Interaction Associates & several other programs) • Crisis Communication & Media Relations Shamanic-practice and energy-intuition healing trainings & certifications: • Energy & Intuition Medicine Program 1 and 2 • Q'ero Munay Ki Intensive and initiations (Four Winds Society) • Emei Qigong - Levels 1 and 2 - energy healing, cultivation, Wuji-Gong, and Four Pillars (studying directly with and receiving attunement from Grandmaster & Lineage Holder Fu) • Shamanic training 2008-2010 (with Four Winds Society and Last Mask Foundation, Christina Pratt) • Bach Flower Essence training • Divine Feminine & Black Madonna Traditions, Wisdom University Graduate Intensive (France, 2005) There have been more than a few other trainings and workshops along the way, but those mentioned above have been key. As always, Jamie looks for ways to weave together and pass along what she's experienced so that it may be a healing offering and a benefit to others, to make their way a bit easier, more graceful, meaningful, and joyful. Where in the World... Though her work reaches around the world, Jamie is a New York native and called San Francisco, California home for more than 17 years. In mid-2007, she returned to the NY metropolitan area to assist with her late-father's hospice care and be nearer to family after his passing, to study with several new teachers, and draw from the wisdom of ancestral lands. Life continues to conspire to 'extend' her visit. Work with Jamie...
