Impact Strategies Inc. is a woman-owned and respected management consulting firm located in the Pacific Northwest.
We provide leadership, strategic guidance, and organizational development to build and strengthen organizations and tackle complex community issues.
Making an Impact
Thoughts and information to help you achieve the greatest impact.
We provide expertise, guidance and support to government, nonprofit organizations and small businesses, and the leaders that guide them. We offer highly personalized services designed around the unique needs and goals for each client.
Organizational Development
We work with leaders and management teams from government and nonprofit organizations to strengthen, expand, or contract their organizations. Services include developing governance and decision-making structures, strategic planning, organizational culture, team engagement, board development, executive coaching, and stakeholder communications.
Leadership Development
Combining our extensive leadership and management experience with the tools developed by Patrick Lencioni, we offer 1:1 coaching and group workshops using the Five Dysfunctions of a Team model.
Each workshop focuses on one of five fundamentals of a high-performing team: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. The workshops move quickly and yield specific, immediate results.
Project Management
Working with senior leadership and project teams, we offer hands-on project management consulting and guidance. Typically, this includes working with the team to define project objectives and strategies, developing a project action plan, project coordination and communications, project implementation, and measurement.
Small Business Development
We specialize in working with small businesses looking to increase their visibility. Typically, we start with a high-level market assessment and a review of your current marketing and communication efforts and results. From here, we work with you to refine their marketing goals and to develop strategies that maximize their marketing/communications investments.

Erica Hallock, Former Government Affairs Director at Emipire Health Foundation
I have found Impact Strategies Inc. to be a supportive backbone organization as community partners work to address oral health challenges in Spokane. Jerrie understands many perspectives brought to the table and assists us with becoming articulate and aligned in our efforts. We are more more effective with Impact Strategies engagement than we would be without them.
Torney Smith, Administrator for the Spokane Regional Health District
Impact Strategies Inc. has been instrumental in the function and creation of Smile Spokane. What started as a group of scattered oral health advocates and organizations has become a cohesive network due to Jerrie's leadership and her teams support. Jerrie's ability to organize and listen to the concerns of all interests has been essential in keeping the network together and moving forward with our objectives. Jerrie's planning and foresight has given Smile Spokane an alliance to improve the oral health of our community for many years to come.
Nick Velis D.D.S., F.A.G.D. Smile Spokane Chair
Jerrie and her team were very effective in working with our board and committees for the Salvation Army's campus expansion project. They did an excellent job of providing coordination to the project committees as they carried out their work and in keeping the full board informed as the project progressed. Jerrie was able to quickly access the needs and level of readiness for each committee in order to provide the information, tools, and leadership to move the work forward in a way that would not have been possible with Impact Strategies Inc. support.
Sheila Geraghty, former Business Administrator for The Salvation Army Spokane
Jerrie's thoughtful and strategic approach to helping our board envision the possibilities and to explore new opportunities for our campus expansion project was invaluable. Her ability to breakdown complex projects into realistic actionable steps, coupled with her knowledge of social services and the complexities of government grant programs, played a significant role in our ability to establish Evangeline's House.
