Consulting Formats
We can work together in the following ways:
1:1 Consulting
Great for: Individuals looking for a single session tune-up or an ongoing investment in growth. These meetings may occur as one-off sessions or as an ongoing relationship, depending on need.
Organizational Consulting
Great for: Organizations looking for major support or looking to make large shifts in their structure, culture, or other organizational element. Organizational Consulting can range from short term tune-ups to long term strategic planning and partnership.
Group Workshops
Great for: Folks interested in Diamond Wave working with their group via customized workshops. These can take place as one-off sessions or as a series, and are ideal for deepening knowledge in a contained environment.
Our Approach
is inquiry-based, data-driven, and rooted in multi-directional learning
Our Goal
is to provide you and/or your organization with useful tools so you can continue the work after our time together ends
Individual/Organizational Consulting Services
In working together, we can address…
Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI) Primer
To address racism and other inequities in our global society, we must first understand how these issues have affected our personal perspectives. This primer allows groups of individuals to make their first steps toward racial equity together, centering concepts of personal privilege and bias as foundations for larger company, organization or community change.
Strategic Planning
Your vision needs a plan to move out of the hypothetical and into reality. Our strategic planning consulting will bridge the time, space, and structure that your team or organization needs to move toward that reality with clarity and unity.
Grant Support
Okay, we know. Grants are hard. How do you find them? How do you figure out if it’s the right grant for you? How do you tell your story within a word count? Consider working with us and our years of grant experience to ease into this daunting aspect of arts funding.
Program Creation, Management, & Evaluation
The most fulfilling programs can often be the most time consuming and complicated. Let us take the burden of program building, implementing and evaluating off of your shoulders so you can focus on keeping your organization's ambitions and vision on track.
Group Workshops
With more than thirty years of combined organizational, administrative, and lived artist experience, we’re offering workshops for organizational engagement in the following areas:
Artist Pricing
A changing world has made it all the more important for artists to lean on their art in order to provide for themselves and their families. In this workshop, we break down the process of pricing art while bolstering participants' confidence in asking for what they’re worth.
Grant Booster Shot
Grant applications can be daunting for even the most robust arts organization. This workshop looks to help break down the approach to applying for grants and offers a clear process for getting the funding you need.
