Taken on one at a time, by invitation.

WHEN IT FITS

WHEN THE WORK IS BIGGER THAN one engagement.

  1. 01 You're building a new initiative, venture, or product and want a builder who has done it before
  2. 02 Your work is great, but too few people know about it, and funding increasingly follows the organizations people hear about
  3. 03 Thought leadership is part of your growth plan
  4. 04 You want your people more engaged, more creative, and more likely to stay
  5. 05 You're launching or sunsetting an initiative that matters
TWO WAYS IN

PICK YOUR SIDE.

or play both ↓
SIDE A

ENTREPRENEUR IN RESIDENCE

For organizations building something new: designing, launching, and scaling initiatives, with the leadership and culture to carry them.

SIDE B

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Creative work is the method, not the decoration. A podcast series, original music, film, or live performance that makes your work visible and gives your people and partners a story to see themselves in.

HOW IT'S SHAPED

SUCCESS, defined together.

Every residency starts with a co-crafted vision of success and clear objectives. A retainer and a production budget are essential to every residency, so the creative work and specialist support are done well. Both are shaped together, in conversation.

What success looks like is defined together at the start and tracked throughout. Depending on the residency, that can mean initiatives launched, audiences and media reach, new funding and partnerships, or staff engagement and retention.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

The residency grows out of multi-year work with a national foundation focused on building sustainability for its cohort of grantees and their leaders.

Our approach there was comprehensive: leadership development, cohort work, storytelling, events, and media, all working together.
