Founders’ Retreat

Move away from the overwhelming feeling of “having to do it all”, clarify your next steps, and begin to build lasting relationships with your audience, team, and supporters.

 

This retreat is designed for musician-leaders, board- and team members of recently founded or veteran non-profits, ready to put their ideas to work in a vision-driven way to

• Communicate your vision and mission clearly and concretely
• Call forth your inner leader and activate your unique leadership style
• Build a collaborative team and avoid burn-out
• Establish relationships to major funders and supporters easefully
• Build a robust board of governors

As a musician-leader, you have my utmost respect

You’re brave enough to get creative away from your instrument and defy the traditional confines that trained you. The industry needs you. And you, my friend, have all that it takes to rock your, and your community’s, world.

You might be resenting the fact that you don’t have a business degree. Not to worry. You’ve got the three main ingredients it takes: an inspiring vision, indestructible ambition, and contagious enthusiasm.

 

As a founder, your greatest strength isn’t your grasp on a fundraising software, it’s your quality of thinking and ability to communicate your vision of the future: To your team, board, funders, and audience.

 

The Founders’ Retreat will set you up with the mindset and resources to realize your vision, providing you with:

• An international community of fellow musician-leaders
• A mindset of growth in spite of seemingly sparse financial resources
• A genuine and powerful way to “ask for money”
• A planning and communication system that works and doesn’t just sit on the shelf collecting dust
• A clear path forward

 

What’s included:

• 6 interactive sessions, that’s 12 hours packed with workshops and resources
• 1 individual 60 minute call with Dina-Marie to dive deep into your unique situation
• Open Q&A time at the end of each day for your questions
• Extensive written and audio resources curated specifically for non-profits founded by musicians
• Access to the recordings from all group sessions

*Live attendance is strongly encouraged, however, all sessions will be recorded for delayed viewing.
