• Spend more time pursuing future success than reflecting on past failure. 
• Create a team that shares your vision - in word and action. 
• Seek to change behaviors not people.  Allow lessons from both. 
• Stop talking about creating a donor culture - and just do it. 
• Document evolution and the path you take for excellence. 
• Select partners that have something to offer. 
• Be open to difference.  Iron does indeed sharpen iron. 
• Leave a legacy by your day to day actions. 
• Simplify your to do list - create an ultimate not-to-do list.
• Ask from others only what you are willing to do yourself.

“Aimee consulted with CICOA in the development of our current strategic plan. In this capacity she facilitated a series of stakeholder meetings, led a planning retreat of the agency's volunteer and paid staff leadership, and worked with the strategic planning committee to interpret findings, develop the planning documents and identify effective measurements of key outcomes. Aimee has excellent communications skills. She is highly effective in coordinating group discussions and soliciting meaningful input from others. She brings a fresh perspective and focused energy to the process. She is a good steward of agency resources and delivers a quality product. I would recommend her to other organizations that are considering a strategic plan or operational review.”

 “Aimee served as the development director for our human service agency and because of her great work with us we do a better job of connecting with donors and supporters. I'd happily recommend her to anyone who wants to get better at securing the resources needed to make the world a better place.”

“I found Aimee to be a bright articulate consultant who engaged staff, board and leadership in a process to develop new organizational, strategic & fund development plans. Aimee was superb at engaging staff as well as board members in the process and getting buy-in for the process. She is a straight forward person and upfront about some people not always liking that. It was refreshing for us at EmberWood Center, especially me. Our relationship also included some executive coaching and that has been very helpful to me as my postion as President has been transitioning.” 
November 5, 2009 ~ Vince Failla, President Emberwood Center (formerly Community Addiction Services of Indiana)
