In starting on this entrepreneurial journey, I went through an exercise to identify my values. One of my core values, upon reflection, was to see, cultivate, and appreciate the unique talents of each person who had worked for me in my leadership roles. That unique talent is “the spark,” the essence that makes you unique.
The io comes from my last name, which many find difficult to pronounce or spell. So, I have taken the io, which is simple enough, and added the spark to create io spark as a strategic communications and management consultancy to allow me to share my ideas and approaches with a wide variety of organizations. Having served in leadership roles in a variety of organizations in a range of industries, I have seen firsthand strategies and approaches that work and those that don’t.
One of our goals at io spark is to help individuals, teams, and organizations find their unique spark. Our approach is appreciative and strengths-based grounded in respect for people.
