About
Damaris McGlone, CPRP, CTRS - Senior Project Development Manager, Owner
I am passionate about parks, recreation, and serving all populations to ensure everyone has an equal voice and a seat at the table. I struggled as a Director of an agency that didn't have the financial or human resources to meet the high expectations of the community that deserved to have quality parks and recreation services and facilities. As times changed with the pandemic and having 5 direct reports leave over a period of 2 years I and my AD had to work multiple positions and still deliver the day to day as well as new projects and goals. I hope that I can help be part of the solution to other communities as the try to meet the demands with sustained vacancies.
Our Service to You
Which is the tailored service you most need?
Visioning & Dreaming
Right time. Right Place. Sometimes we have the right idea but it's not the right time.
Other times, preparedness leads to new unexpected opportunities or partnerships.
Countless times we've had the dream, prepared for it, and then the right opportunity found us and then dreams became reality. Have you missed opportunities because for whatever reason you failed to plan for the dream?
Minimize missed opportunities in the future and dedicate time to dreaming and planning for dream to become a reality.
Thriving at Work
People problems are time consuming and detract from "work deliverables" BUT people are your most important asset, they are living, feeling beings who require consistent dedication and development with the right attitude for your culture thrive.
We want to be developers of people not just things or completion of tasks.
How is your department's organizational culture and health?
Are you tolerating bad behavior? Does your team have the right tools in their toolbox to thrive? Have you set them up for success?
Organizational Health is essential for those wanting to achieve accreditation and for those who want to be the best of the best.
Operational Management
Capitalize on your employee and agency strengths. Do you know their strength zone? We can help develop and create essential documentation.
Policies. Is your agency in need of a suite of policies perhaps for accreditation compliance or certain policies to address new circumstances? Do policies need to be digitized or following systematic process? We can help with that.
Standard Operating Procedures. You may have a policy or practice in place but it's not written down. You're at risk of knowledge being lost as employees turn over. Plus, the lack of SOP's makes orientation for new staff extremely nebulous, avoid the confusion and provide clarity to all employees!
Plans. To move forward together in the same direction is essential for success. Is your agency lacking some planning? Perhaps no one really has the aptitude, time or writing isn't their strength.
Projects. Some projects need dedicated oversight and your agency may not have the capacity to do so. Whether construction, RFP/Q, event or other such projects we use project management strategies to get from start to finish.
