Today's economy requires flexibility and creativity.

Joanne Lauterjung Kelly's strength lies in her versatility and creativity. She provides creative consulting informed by experience in a wide variety of industries, and skills that span from strategic planning, communications planning and implementation, to facilitation, training, coaching and event planning.

Communications Consulting

Studies show that 80% of what's communicated is HOW it's presented, and only 20% is the actual content. Once you understand that perception is reality, you can begin to craft more powerful communications that tell your story in the most effective way possible.

  • Strategic Communications Planning
    Promotional Planning & Outreach
    Branding & Visual Identity
    Communications Audit
    Website & Print Materials Development

Facilitation

A creative approach to facilitation brings about new insights and ideas, and encourages participation. Muse Indigo weaves traditional facilitation with arts-infused activities such as creative writing, rhythm exercises, theater games and visual arts to facilitate:

  • Strategic Planning
    Mission Statement Refinement
    Organizational Change
    Team-building

Training

Weaving arts activities into trainings deepens experiential learning, promotes participation and increases retention. Arts events can be woven in to any kind of training. Past workshops include:

  • Branding Isn't Just for Cattle
    Grantwriting for Educators
    Rhythm, Conflict & Community
    Self-Promotion for Artists & Musicians
    Creative Writing for Better Communications Materials

Coaching

Small group or one-on-one coaching provides more personalized attention and allows for a custom fit to meet your needs. Tapping in to your creative reserves boosts confidence, reveals opportunities, and expands your professional "toolkit". Coaching helps with:

  • Public speaking
    Leadership skills
    Increased emotional intelligence
    Managing change & conflict

Event Planning

Adding a participatory element to your special event connects attendees to your mission and message. Whether your event is for fundraising, friend-raising or simply to celebrate, examples of participatory activities include:

  • Dancing with live music & dance instruction
    Music such as a drum circle or 
    sing-a-long
    Visual Art including mural painting or instant photo collage
