Arts Organizations Can Thrive,
Not Just Survive

The Challenge You're Facing

Traditional approaches to programming, marketing, and fundraising aren't working well anymore. You're working harder but seeing fewer results. 
 

How I Help

I guide organizations through a community-centered approach that expands your audience and impact while honoring everything that makes you special. This approach scales to meet the needs of small theater companies, choirs, and major orchestras alike.

What We Work On Together

Strategic Planning & Organizational Development

Your Challenge: You need clarity on direction but can't afford to stop operations for months of planning
What You Get: Right-sized strategic frameworks that give you clear direction without overwhelming your team. Practical plans that position your organization for stronger funder support with flexible metrics that actually get used, not binders that sit on shelves

 

Community Impact Measurement

Your Challenge: Funders ask "what problem do you solve?" and your impact feels hard to measure
What You Get: Clear frameworks for measuring and communicating your community impact—transforming you from "arts patron" to "humanitarian impact" in funders' minds, with data that makes your case compelling. Instead of saying 'we perform beautiful music,' you'll say 'we provide measurable stress relief and community connection through excellent musical performance'—with data to prove it.

Leadership Support & Executive Coaching

Your Challenge: The ED role is isolating and overwhelming—you need someone who understands the unique pressures
What You Get: A thought partner who helps you be more bold, plus practical strategies for managing the unique demands of arts leadership

 

Audience Development That Honors Your Art

Your Challenge: You need to grow your audience but won't compromise your artistic standards
What You Get: Programming strategies that create clear community impacts that resonate with both audiences and funders while maintaining the excellence your current supporters appreciate

 

Board Development & Alignment

Your Challenge: Board meetings feel ineffective—members are either micromanaging from fear or disengaged because they don't know how to help
What You Get: Board members who understand their role, feel appreciated, and have clear ways to support your community-centered mission
