awe /ô/noun wondering reverence tinged with fear inspired by the sublime
Hi! I’m Lis Williams, the Founder of AWE Partners, LLC, a social impact advisory firm that educates women on how to bake mission into their life and business for more passion, purpose, and profit!
When you imagine a better world — what does it look like?
If you could ensure that sharing your time, talent, and treasure
would make a difference what would you do first?
If you could incorporate your giving goals into your business mission
what would that mean for you, your team members, and your customers?
As a heart-centered, mission-driven woman you want to make a difference in the world. You want to use your gifts and talents to ease the pain of those who suffer. You want to make the world a better place for generations to come. You want to use the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired to assist those who are working in the trenches to find solutions to society’s greatest challenges.
But you’re not interested in aligning yourself with an organization that’s doing just good work.
You want great work!
Yet change seems almost impossible to effect. There are so many important issues and organizations to support. How do you know what’s yours to do and where your efforts will be most impactful?
You take small steps but never see the results. Your giving is a mish-mosh of causes and organizations that changes from year to year. You wonder if your donation is even getting to the people and problems it’s meant to help.
I used to feel that way, too. I wasn’t clear on my purpose, what I had to offer, and who I should align myself with. I didn’t know if I was supporting solutions or just taking a band-aid approach to social impact.
And the more research I did, the more overwhelmed I became. I was stuck in a place of frustration and inaction.
I knew I wanted to give, shop, and invest – to make a difference. I knew there was a deeper, richer way to live but I wasn’t sure how to get there.
So I decided to create an approach to giving that was more intentional and strategic. One that incorporated both the inner and outer work necessary to be meaningful and yet effective.
An approach that leads to AWE-thentic Impact – your highest purpose and greatest good.
The life you were meant to live.
And now I want to teach you how to get there saving you time, money, and frustration.
