Jane Dafoe's Linkedin Analytics

Inspiring donors – to commit, renew, or find friends to join their cause – is my niche and my passion. An insightful leader, my trustworthy intuition about engaging people in causes gives donors a direct line of sight to their investments. A creative risk-taker, I put ideas into action through a variety of mediums. My cache of strategic communications skills includes compelling storytelling, video production, annual reports, newsletters, speaking notes, grant/proposal writing, branding, impactful reporting, campaign collateral, engaging stewardship and creative web content. Some of my most significant accomplishments include: • Substantially raising the profile of the Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured (ARBI) through captivating story-telling, engaging Calgary philanthropists and developing partnerships with leaders in the field of neuroplasticity • Refreshing ARBI’s brand through the development of multiple promotional videos, a redesigned website, thought-provoking annual reports and other agency collateral, positioning ARBI as a leader in community-based rehabilitation • Outperforming as Campaign Director for Hull Child and Family Services’ Creating Success Together campaign, exceeding the target of $6.5 million by 12%. With a reputation for future-focused planning, excellent project management skills, proactive problem solving and an ability to envision the big picture, I contribute to the success of any team. I manage stress using humour, mindfulness and life balance. As Andrew J. Bernstein says, “We need to distinguish between stress and stimulation. Having deadlines, setting goals, and pushing yourself to perform at capacity are stimulating. Stress is when you're anxious, upset, or frustrated, which dramatically reduce your ability to perform.” My sense of fun and playfulness are legendary. Self-motivated, conscientious, and energetic, I am seeking a new challenge in which I can thrive for the benefit of humanity.
