Artist Resources, Grants for Artists, Creative Projects, Making Money for Artists

Leadership isn't just for executives. As artists, we're constantly leading — our projects, our collaborations, our careers, our creative visions. In this installment of the CEO Chronicles, I speak with leadership coach Kelly Kienzle about finding clarity in confusion, trusting your instincts, and remembering you don't have to figure everything out alone. Give it a listen and let us know what questions you have for Kelly (or myself) in the comments 💬

In this installment of our new CEO Chronicles series, I sit down with David Blasher, Executive Director at the MAP Fund, to speak about the unique challenges and opportunities of interim leadership. Both of us have navigated interim roles at our respective organizations and share what we've learned about building trust, managing uncertainty, and supporting organizational transitions. Give it a listen and let us know what questions you have for Blasher (or myself) in the comments 💬

In the face of uncertainty, we often turn to leaders for wisdom, guidance, and strength. I don’t know about you, but there are plenty of people in positions of authority and influence right now who don’t inspire me — people who have betrayed their most vulnerable constituents, abandoned due process, and sunk to new levels of corruption and self-serving greed. If you’re asking yourself what leadership even means in a time like this, I can assure you that I’m right there with you: angry, confused, searching.
