Happy Sunday! I wanted to share what it is like in meetings with my clients. Most of the time, they come to me with challenges. I listen as intently as I can, think about it, and then follow up with ideas for solutions to work on. The group normally takes the ideas and helps to make them their own. At the end of our meeting, we leave with a drafted audience development plan with programs that will be used to solve their challenges and to meet their goals.
If you are not having these types of meetings – Challenges to Solutions Meetings – I highly recommend adding this to your arts management culture.
Oh, and you can add a little food and coffee magic to really get the brains going and the ideas flowing!
Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,
Shoshana
