About TVP
Titm’ìne Visionary Partners, LLC (TVP) is a woman-owned, Indigenous-owned, and Black-owned small consulting business dedicated to leadership and organizational practice transformation. Within the nimiipuu (Nez Perce) Tribal language, the term “titm’ìne” translates to faith, hope or belief. It is these three virtues that guide all work at TVP. TVP enthusiastically serves customers and partners to achieve their hopes and aspirations by strategizing effective and intentional approaches to compliment the goals they are believing in and venturing towards.
TVP primarily serves partners and clients across three realms:​
Thought Partnership, Technical Assistance, and Capacity Building
Leadership Development and Coaching
Knowledge Sharing and Training
​
Building upon a dedicated career in the management consulting corporate and nonprofit industries, TVP was founded in 2024 by owner and Chief Executive Officer Isabelle Penass, a member of the nimiipuu Nation (Nez Perce Tribe). Through Isabelle’s leadership practice and experience serving Indigenous and other historically and intentionally excluded communities across the United States, the need for an organization like TVP became increasingly more evident. TVP operates with clarity, vision, and courage to challenge conventional leadership beliefs and organizational practices, specifically those rooted only in imperial western knowledge systems and settler colonial supremacy.
TVP is grounded within the following principles to empower and sustain organizational and leadership impact within the communities they seek to serve:
​​
Loving
Leadership
Practice
Reciprocity & Service to Community
Creating True Experiences of Belonging
Respect for Human Wisdom
& Innate Inter-
connection
Honoring the
Power of Generosity & Relationships
About the Owner
Isabelle Penass, MSW, is the owner, founder, and CEO of Titm’ìne Visionary Partners (TVP), a woman-owned, Indigenous-owned, and Black-owned small management consulting business. Isabelle is a proud member of the nimiipuu Nation (Nez Perce Tribe) and was born and raised on her Tribal homelands in present-day Lapwai, Idaho. As a dedicated leadership learner and practitioner, within both corporate and nonprofit sectors, Isabelle’s career has empowered her experience and expertise in executive leadership, organizational development, team and leadership coaching, bridging and braiding connections and partnerships, capacity building, project management, and program development and implementation.​
With over 18 years of experience in the field of social work and the management consulting industry, Isabelle has joyfully cultivated her skillset in leadership practice to support customers across Tribal, federal, state, and public and private arenas. Isabelle’s career largely encompasses executive and departmental leadership and fiscal oversight for both large- and small-scale contracts and specifically for matters of public health and behavioral health with customers across the United States. This, paired with her lived experiences, informs her leadership ethos of relationality and service, while anchoring in the wisdom of community-driven and community-led solutions and collaborative voice for team and organizational transformation in support of social impact.
​Isabelle wholeheartedly believes in the swift power of loving leadership practices for meaningful impact and intentional reach. She established TVP to assist leaders, teams, and organizations to bravely embrace leadership at its intersections with belonging and connection. Specifically, Isabelle works to coach leaders and organizations through the tenets of clarity and self-awareness; building community through stewardship; forgiveness asking and granting; and interconnection, empathy, healing, and generosity. For any individual, team, or organizational goals, it is Isabelle’s belief that success is always tied to these tenets and intersections.
​Isabelle is a former Gates Millennium Scholar and received her Bachelor and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, with a focus on clinical mental health. She is currently a doctoral scholar at Gonzaga University, School of Leadership Studies, Doctoral Program for Leadership Studies, where she is grateful to continually grow and refine her leadership skills, capacity, and knowledge while translating and reimagining how theory is put into practice.​
Isabelle’s most important roles are wife, mother, daughter, niece, granddaughter, aunt, sister, and friend. It is these roles that invigorate and inspire her professional purpose and deeper meaning to the work she is fortunate to serve and contribute. When not working, Isabelle can be found with her husband adventuring with their toddler-tot and fur-babies through the mountain landscapes of the Pacific Northwest or supporting the many endeavors of Tribal youth within her family and Tribal communities.
