Before becoming CEO of Sovereign Global Solutions, I spent a good portion of my professional life serving in non-profits, both as an employee and as a consultant. These days, I spend all of my volunteer time with faith-based ministries and financially support those ministries which impact others in their faith while helping strengthen individuals, their marriages and families.
My other inspiration is my husband Greg, who has spent his entire 30+ year career serving the Catholic Church, in work that directly protects and preserves the dignity of innocent lives and works to transform the culture. In all of his of years of service, he never had the benefit of a mentor to meet with, a personal coach to guide him, or a leadership training program to provide tools that would help him succeed in his day to day tasks. He hopes that others will be able to be strengthened earlier in their career and enjoy the confidence that he struggled to attain. Both Jennifer and I feel that for those who serve in the important work that faith-based ministries offer, we are able to contribute to the most important work there is– impacting and changing hearts and lives.
If you sense your calling is working in a non-profit ministry or you are hoping to work for one soon, we believe that your career of service will benefit in a way that will encourage you, empower you, and fill you with confidence that you can indeed do the work that you have been called to do. For this reason we are pleased to introduce LUMINARY –a Catholic Executive Leadership and Management Certificate Program – an initiative that Jennifer Gutierrez and I have developed as a result of our combined experiences, to meet the need of our faith based institutions.
We provide the LUMEN training to institutions which seek to provide this training to their employees or prepare them for their next steps. Primary partners include faith-based colleges and universities, seminaries, and leaders for the Catholic Church.
