"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. "Jamie has guided me through a transformation of thoughts, words and actions. No longer do I dread my situation. What has been most meaningful for me is that Jamie hears me and gets me. I have someone completely focused on me, my needs, and at the same time sees the bigger picture and seems to have intuitive insight into who I truly am and who I am meant to be. Through her guidance and mentoring I have been able to step forward courageously and intentionally. I can’t begin to thank Jamie for the perspectives, insights and powerful information she has provided through stories, her own life examples, and the sources of knowledge she has acquired through her own journey." ~ C. O'M. W., Socially Conscious Entrepreneur, Toronto, Canada "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, Scottsdale, AZ "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 Social Entrepreneur, Oakland, CA "As a result of my work with Ivy Sea, I opened to new frontiers that I couldn’t even imagine before. 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 feel truly and expertly supported." — C.M., Enterprise Founder and Socially Conscious Entrepreneur, Ventura, CA "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, San Francisco, CA "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.H., Organizational Development and Communication Executive, California "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, Oakland, CA "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 the latest crisis, but the things that align with our larger goals." — P.R., Enterprise Co-Founder, Berkeley, CA Email info 'at' ivysea 'dot' com for a consultation |

Jamie Walters 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® Allies have consulted to and inspired a wide variety of organizations, enterprise leaders, and entrepreneurs clarify the 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 five 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, also from Berrett-Koehler. A collection of her thought-leading articles were also compiled as a book, Managerial Excellence: 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, and other publications, and has greatly enjoyed being a guest on a variety of radio shows. She also created, produces, and hosts the new audio series, the SophiaLogues. She's currently in the research phase for her next book, The New Greening. 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 and a California Assembly woman; handled communication, marketing and public affairs for a visionary cosmetics manufacturer and an environmental consulting firm. She set up and managed the Commonwealth of Virginia's Superfund Community Relations Program, which included high-visibility, sensitive-issues outreach to more than 40 hazardous waste 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, mindset-mastery, 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 continues to be a behind-the-scenes Muse and advisor for other gathering forces. She is also a past-president of the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators. 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 in mindful transformation, strategic change facilitation, coaching for performance, natural systems theory, Five Element theory, crisis communication, the craft of writing, energy healing and management, intuitive development and applied intuition, mind-body-spirit wellness, Bach Flower Essences, aromatherapy, esoteric astrology, Christian mysticism (sourced from the early Jesus tradition), engaged spirituality, and Sacred Feminine and other gifts from the deep pool of timeless Wisdom and powerful archetypes. To deepen her gnosis of the Divine Feminine traditions, she participated in a Wisdom University graduate intensive on the Sacred Feminine & Black Madonna in October of 2005. She spent several weeks in France with the Wisdom University group, led by author and mystic, Dr. Andrew Harvey, and Indigenous Mind program founder, Dr. Apela Colorado, and then continued to Montserrat and Barcelona, Spain, on independent study. Building on more than six years years of instruction in intuitive and energy healing, in 2006 she completed Level I and II Emei Qigong intensives, receiving 81 hours of direct instruction from Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, the 13th Emei Linji Chan Emei Qigong lineage holder. She continues her studies and practice in Qigong, Five Element, Four Pillars, and related engaged-spirituality and mind-body-spirit disciplines. Most recently, Jamie added to her previous experience with the Four Winds Institute's Munay Ki intensive, receiving instruction, practice, and the Munay Ki initiation rites under the direction of Q'ero Elder and Wisdomkeeper, Don Francisco Chura, and Four Winds Senior Teacher, Wake Wheeler. She also immersed in several workshops with Christina Pratt, contemporary shamanic practitioner and teacher, and founder of the Last Mask Center. Jamie continues her deep research into vibrational healing, 'power of the Word', and the Divine Feminine and Sacred Union for her next book and ongoing writing, workshops, and consultations. 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.
