I am a very senior professional with a diverse background that is probably unusual for this site. I am on Upwork because I am semi-retired and I enjoy helping people with their projects and giving general business support and advice. My experience includes being a university professor, a small tech business owner, a senior advisor in the U.S. government, and a business consultant focused on startup strategy, research fundraising, and Federal and state resources. You can learn more about my background from my LinkedIn profile, just search for James Kadtke Ph.D. Here are some of the skills I bring to the table: -- Superb research skills (including scientific) for a wide range of subject areas. I can research a topic, synthesize the material, and write concise summaries or more elaborate documents -- Excellent writing skills: I have over 80 peer-reviewed publications, and have contributed to countless other reports for the government, businesses, think tanks, and popular media. You can review some of my work at Researchgate under the profile James Kadtke or simply Google search my name. -- Extensive expertise in running and growing a business and finding funding and other resources; I often consult for startups on strategy -- Extensive experience in government and politics, and how to engage with agencies and leadership, so I can craft or review written materials for sensitivity and relevance -- Superb computer and social media skills -- I have been an independent consultant or contractor for nearly 30 years so I am quite comfortable performing on contracts and I strive hard to deliver the best products within time and cost requirements I think you will find that my hourly rate published here is well below most consultants with comparable skills. I am also always willing to negotiate costs to fit within a client's budget.Grant & Market Research

Hi! My name is Tia and it is nice to meet you. After a dynamic career in all aspects of nonprofits I decided to launch a consulting firm, The Orange Peel Collaborative. At the heart of my firm, the idea is that just like there are many ways to peel an orange, there are many approaches to business. It doesn't make my way right or your way wrong- so let's all get to work! I want to be known for creatively fixing problems and helping people and organizations thrive. The concept I keep coming back to is how in coming back from being a digital nomad in Mexico, I was struck by how much Covid had changed Americans. It was like people had been through war and I had this deep desire to help rejuvenate my country one person at a time. So here we are! Who I am: I am the catalyst for change in the nonprofit sector. As a seasoned strategic nonprofit operations professional, I bring a unique blend of expertise and hands-on experience to the table. What I offer: I specialize in revitalizing missions, reinvigorating organizations, and bridging the gap between teams. Operations are my framework- whether your project already has structure in place or you are wondering where even to start, I can help. Together we can reignite passion for the mission, adapt to new demands and types of technology, or foster harmony within diverse, remote teams. Who is my target client: I am sought after by leaders, CEOs, and boards seeking a dynamic refresh, a strategic overhaul, or a pathway to sustainable growth. My services are tailored to those ready to embrace change, whether as a strategic necessity or a visionary pursuit.

My adaptable approach ensures that I meet the unique needs of every client, and my unwavering dedication guarantees that your mission becomes my own. When you choose me, you're choosing passion, empathy, and results. Approach and Key Services: My strategic operations approach focuses on leveraging innovative solutions to address the unique challenges that have emerged post-Covid. As a nonprofit and startup consultant, my goal is to work closely with individuals, businesses, and organizations to guide them through a transformative journey towards renewed success and resilience. Key Services: Strategic Visioning and Planning: Collaborative sessions to develop a clear vision for the future. Creative and focused support to turn your concept into a mission and that mission into programs. Customized strategic plans tailored to address the challenges of the post-pandemic landscape. Organizational Restructuring: Assessing and optimizing internal structures for enhanced efficiency. Collaboratively introducing advanced technology with an operations and people-first focus. Implementing change management strategies to adapt to the evolving business environment. Leadership Development: Cultivating leadership skills and resilience among key personnel. Providing mentorship and training to empower leaders in navigating uncertainties. Mentoring emerging women business owners and managers. Innovative Problem-Solving: Harnessing creativity to find unique solutions to new and existing challenges. Implementing agile problem-solving methodologies to stay ahead of the curve. Community Engagement Initiatives: Creating programs that foster a sense of community and mutual support. Building partnerships to amplify the impact of our collective efforts. Benefits of working with me and my approach: Rejuvenated Individuals and Organizations: Empowerment through tailored strategies for personal and professional growth. Enhanced Resilience: Equipping clients with the tools to navigate future uncertainties with confidence. Positive Social Impact: Contributing to the broader goal of revitalizing America, starting with individual and organizational transformations.Grant & Market Research

I am a writer, researcher, and strategist - a curator of information and ideas - with a knack for word play and managing projects. I specialize in grant research & strategy, grant writing and management, and copywriting. I excel at: • Synthesizing information and strategizing content in concise and compelling ways. I am a storyteller at heart. Through careful research and collaboration with consultants, I developed a preschool curriculum program that reached 120+ users. I currently research and write copy for a newsletter with an average 32.9% open rate and CTRs at 5.2%. • Building rapport across diverse audiences. As a Business Development Representative, I analyze and synthesize prospect data from marketing campaigns within Salesforce to identify trends and create targeted campaigns. Utilizing strategic and personalized communication and partnerships has brought over $400k within my first six months. • Discovering opportunities and managing projects. I screened 100+ grants and identified the top 30 with the highest probability of success (at least a 20% chance of award). I gave strategic considerations and a grant calendar to pursue over the next 12-18 months. I apply my background in education to modern project management strategies such as Asana to track deliverables and project deadlines.Grant & Market Research
