UNLOCK CREATIVE
We Unlock Vision, Maximize Impact, and Harness the Power of You.
Unlock Creative: Coaching & Management Solutions LLC, a black women-owned consulting firm, offers coaching, professional development, and business management services to creative, artistic, and mission-driven nonprofits and for-profit businesses. Our mission is to nurture, grow, and sustain Black creative leadership. We Unlock Vision, Maximize Impact, and Harness the Power of your Team.
We help our clients develop rare work environments that are supportive and prioritize retaining Black and people of color in leadership in the non-profit, creative, arts, culture, and entertainment sectors. We address the specific needs and challenges of these professionals while building cohesive teams that are culturally competent and operate by policies that are inclusive and equitable to team members of marginalized communities.
The problem that we are addressing broadly is the disinvestment in Black leadership within primarily white-led institutions and the lack of investment in Black leaders, professionals, and black-owned businesses within the creative sector.
We are passionate about helping companies retain and grow black and brown women leadership so that they can maximize productivity, reduce cost and increase revenue. In 50 years of service, we have engaged with 200+ women at 50+ orgs, saving $2M in lost productivity and increasing income by $5M.
We welcome you to join the Unlock Creative Circle.
