2. Vision & Mission Coaching: The Heart of the Matter

Vision and mission work is involved in generating any authentic marketing materials. Clarity and harmony, at the deepest level possible, about the purpose of your work, your project, your organization, your product or service powers your activity.

You may have this clarity or a deep abiding trust in your intuition but wish to express it or to bring it to specific ventures or partnerships. You may be entirely new to working from inside out or from the roots up into the branches. You may be looking for support while in the thick of the process. This can be a tremendously creative undertaking, giving voice to parts of yourself, your visions or activities that have not spoken in words.

Vision and Mission provides a context, richness and depth to any materials you might later generate, whether business plans, artist statements, grant applications or web copy. It also can be a grounding source for your personal presence and interactions as you present your work or represent your organization.

If you are already clear and confident about this, our work together starts with my learning about your or your organization’s established vision and mission.

3. Project Mapping & The Big Paper Brainstorm.

Here we integrate the big picture–vision, values, leadership & goals–with the details and the process. Project Mapping can range from mapping a web site, a PR kit or artist portfolio to creating a strategic plan to manifest a business or creative idea. Project mapping can apply to any writing project or any area of your life, art or business that you are looking to transform, upgrade or engage with more deeply.

I facilitate and participate with you in all out, no-idea-too-stupid, dream-big, dream-small brainstorms. This dynamizes the process, waking new possibilities and freeing you from been-there, done-that formats. This is where brilliant guerrilla strategies or innovative visions or marry tried and true presentation or action formulas. The key is to stay with the process and to follow where it leads.

From these brainstorms, we map the project and projects within projects. This establishes a strong foundation for cohesive action steps, realistic timelines and project management.

4. Partners in Ink. Bring together a creative team for a project. Generate, Ink has a network of creative service providers and can create teams for specific projects or refer you to other professionals to meet your needs. These include top quality web designers, graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, videographers, web advertising optimizers, strategic marketers, project facilitators and event producers.

In addition, Generate, Ink readily collaborates with artists, authors, entrepreneurs, social activists, healing artists, visionaries, non-profit organizations, educational institutions and companies retooling and revising their work in and for these transformational times. We welcome partnership with other creative service providers or the opportunity to join teams to contribute our skills to developing projects.
