What We Do — Amplify Leadership Advisors

Amplify Leadership Advisors helps arts organizations evolve internal cultures, strategically navigate change, and explore visionary futures so that boards and leadership can secure revenue and community impact for generations to come.

Purposeful interim leadership for organizations experiencing executive transitions, so they can fill the permanent role using a thoughtful and strategic search while maintaining organizational momentum, strength, and ensuring existing projects are accomplished.
Our approach is goal-driven and focused on evolving your organization from where you are to where you can become.

Working with Leaders and boards as they tackle large, messy, complex, and dynamic issues critical to the longevity of a company.
Programs to develop leadership teams and their culture so the group goes from working alongside one another to working as a true team to create success for the organization.
Transitional support for organizations that are experiencing transitions but don’t need a full interim leader.
Fundraising campaign development and evaluation, so that arts organizations can ensure robust and reliable financial support.
Refreshing an organization’s purpose or values, so that every stakeholder is clear about WHY they’re doing what they're doing, and HOW the best work gets done within their organization’s culture for the desired result.
