ReWILD

Clear Vision, Bold Strategy, Resonant Communication

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Over the past months, creative and artistic professionals from different countries have asked me to support them in starting up, rebranding, or strengthening their organization’s strategy. For me, communication and clarity are key when initiating something new. Clear communication and intentionality are the greatest amplifiers of your vision and the impact you make with your work.

Strengthening a strategy alongside your communication strategy - how you position and market your work, your company, and yourself as a visionary creator while staying grounded in the difference you want to make - is a powerful way forward. As a multi-entrepreneur in the festival and performing arts scene, I’m more than happy to support you in this process.

I love tailoring individual processes, but these recent requests sparked an idea:
What if these people could meet, inspire each other, and grow together in a focused, strategic development program?

That’s why I’m excited to introduce ReWILD Your Artistic/Creative vision - a 16-week course for 15 professionals in the artistic and creative fields.

The course is designed for artists and creatives with an entrepreneurial mindset - those driven to create what doesn’t yet exist or what urgently needs to change. Over the years, we’ve seen that cycle breakers and trailblazers especially resonate with the learning formats we create. Perhaps because they recognize - and are ready to work for - the change and improvement that’s needed.

THE VISION

The vision behind our learning formats is to rewild the field - to strengthen the international community of artistic and creative visionaries, so great ideas and projects can reach further and make a stronger impact. Just as rewilding in nature restores balance by bringing wilderness back to cultivated land, I want to encourage and nurture a rewilding strategy in artistic and creative organizations. This course begins with people and mindset.

Not by criticizing what already exists, but by co-creating organizational breathing spaces for genuine artistic and creative entrepreneurship. Spaces where communication and clarity amplify your vision and bring it to life.

Because when your communication strategy is aligned with your purpose, it doesn’t just tell the world what you do - it becomes the engine that drives your impact. It shapes how you are perceived, how opportunities find you, and how your vision grows beyond yourself.

To imagine new realities, new scenarios, and new organizational forms, it’s essential to:

  • …answer unexpected questions

  • …let go of what no longer serves you

  • …try out other perspectives

  • …imagine different scenarios and play with them

And then when you’re rewilding your approach and perspective you can create an aligned strategy that positions and communicates in a way that aligns with your artistic and creative purpose and vision. It’s not about throwing everything away – it’s about clearing the table and choosing what truly fits your wild creative vision. About crafting a communication and positioning strategy that doesn’t feel forced but flows from your artistic and creative DNA — one that makes your work visible, resonant, and ready to grow.

COURSE FOCUS AREAS

We have created the framework for this course - however its structure is designed so you can shape it in the direction that meets you where you are.
Throughout the process, your communication strategy acts as the main amplifier of your vision - connecting leadership, strategy, and creative/artistic DNA into one coherent narrative.

Vision & Leadership
Focus on making your vision crystal clear - in both words and action - and translate it into daily practice? Learn to stay aligned and navigate the growing complexity of today’s world without losing sight of your creative core.

Platform Building
Focus on identifying and creating the platform, that best reflects your artistic or creative DNA - the one you want to invest in and that becomes a lighthouse for your community? Together, we explore structures that breathe and evolve with your vision.

Strategy
Focus on recognizing the strategy that will take you where you want to go - and how your communication can serve as the bridge between vision and practice.

Stepping into the Future
Focus on aligning your vision and communicaiton with the future you want to co-create. How can your choices today strengthen the ecosystems and communities you wish to be part of tomorrow?

Communication
Focus on clarity in words and action as the strongest amplifier of your vision. We work on how your visual identity, language, and behavior can align - so your communication feels authentic, powerful, and connected to your creative/artistic energy.

Personal Power & Positional Power
Focus on growing your leadership and position your company or practice so that positional power supports your personal power — rather than overshadowing it?

Regenerative Business Model
Focus on making your business model realistic, balanced, and equitable — and how it allows both your creativity and your organization to thrive sustainably.

National & International Positioning
Focus on the real potentials for your specific vision and work? Together, we map opportunities and clarify how your voice can resonate — locally and globally.
