SOLUTIONS
Values + Purpose-Driven Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is a process that helps us define our vision for the future, identify goals and establish a sequence for achieving them. While the specific components of a strategic plan varies between and among organizations and individuals, the principles are still the same:
Set a Vision >
Define the Purpose >
Evaluate Assets >
Align Values >
Make a Plan >
Big and small, corporations and solopreneurs, techies and artists, for-profit and for-purpose, products and services, every business needs right-sized, efficient and effective systems and processes to achieve success. Fabulosity Solutions + Inspiration helps organizations and individuals begin to think about their work in new ways, identify the core values that drive passions and leverage those values to inform strategic business decisions. Our decolonization and anti-oppression practices also help our partners navigate and begin to reframe some of the myths and misinformation about business, capitalism, artmaking and 501(c)(3) regulations that often keep us struggling in cycles of poverty or zero-sum gains.
Fabulosity Solutions + Inspiration offers bespoke solutions for our values and purpose-driven strategic planning as private sessions for leadership and boards of directors, workshops for collaboratives or collectives of organizations and individuals, and/or as one-on-one sessions for business and community leaders, solopreneurs, artists, families and anyone else who needs to make a plan to achieve their goals.
Working with Kesha was transformative for our business! As artists, we excel at the creative side of things, and while we had some understanding of the business side of running an ensemble, it was an area where we lacked structure and direction. Kesha helped us refine our vision, align on our values, set actionable S.M.A.R.T. goals, and revamp our mission statement to reflect who we are and what we aim to achieve. With her guidance, we also elevated our branding and public image with fresh, relevant, and intentional materials.
For years, we aspired to transition from self-producing concerts to collaborating with universities, concert series, and producers. Within just a couple of months of working with Kesha, we secured three university residencies and a concert series engagement—all thanks to her expertise and countless practical suggestions. Kesha’s strategic approach turned our aspirations into tangible success, and we are so grateful for her incredible impact on our ensemble.
A brand is so much more than a collection of graphics, snappy taglines, pretty colors and fonts. Your brand is the way the world sees and understands your purpose, your vision and your value in the marketplace. It’s the way people feel when they think about your work. Brands that articulate a clear purpose and aligned values resonate with stakeholders. Many leaders struggle to articulate their purpose, vision and values in clear, concise ways without confusing and diminishing their brand with “buzz words” and trendy language.
Brand + Culture Development
Using innovative next-practices in business operations and human-centered decolonization and anti-oppression strategies in culture development, Fabulosity Solutions + Inspiration helps our partners craft unique brands that stand out in the crowed marketplace, guide strategic business decisions and inspire long-term loyalty and support. From the defining of values, statements of purpose, messaging voice and tone, visual assets, print and digital collateral, communication strategies and the cultivation of culture, our holistic solutions help organizations and individuals find their authentic voice, amplify their purpose, gather others to their cause, build belonging and drive financial, operational and aspirational success.
Building an authentic, lasting brand is a daily practice of both the art and science of when, where, how and why you work. In order to sustainably build this practice with purpose and intentionality, organizations and individuals alike must first define who you are, what you believe in, why you do what you do, what others get from your offerings and why the world should care. Whether you’re selling a product, or offering a service, or building culture, every brand needs an authentic, values and purpose-driven strategic brand to represent their work in the marketplace.
Operational Capacity Building + Continuous Process Improvement
Operational capacity building and continuous process improvement is an investment in the business of your business.
From attracting and retaining top talent, to selecting the right technologies, to efficiently manage operations, to finding new revenue streams, to choosing between learning a new skill or hiring an outside professional, Fabulosity Solutions + Inspiration helps leaders and individuals make values and purpose-driven strategic decisions about when and how to grow, or to maintain, or to improve that holistically move organizations and individuals from surviving to thriving in the marketplace.
Every business starts with a need to grow into sustainability. For some, the process will be a one-time strategic plan to reach a specific set of goals, followed by ongoing maintenance to sustain market position. For others, it’s a continuous cycle of ever increasing growth goals and strategic benchmarks of success. Either way, clear, purpose-driven plans are necessary to build operational capacity and implement practical solutions for the future of your work.
We believe that technology should serve the needs of humans, not try to control them. Any system that inherently fights against or restricts natural human behavior is always bound for failure. At best, it restricts productivity and increases costs. At worst, it causes turnover and encourages unsafe “work-arounds”. By putting people and core values first, Fabulosity Solutions + Inspiration creates bespoke technology solutions for our partners that activate individual and collective agency, organically build skills, knowledge, flexibility and creativity in humans, and strengthens efficiency and security in systems. By implementing right-sized technologies alongside human-centered polices, processes and procedures, we craft practical, sustainable technology solutions that work.
Human-Centered Systems + Technology Innovation
INSPIRATION
Everyone needs a partner now and then.

Kesha provided an unforgettable experience during our full-day strategic planning session with the 2024 Blackbird Creative Lab artist cohort. Amidst the whirlwind of production, rehearsals, and events, Kesha’s presence was nothing short of transformative. Her approach was so refreshing as she skillfully navigated the complexities of holistic values and their influence on strategic planning.
From the moment we began, Kesha’s personal transparency and openness created a space of trust and mutual respect. Her ability to share her own experiences and challenges helped level the playing field, making it possible for everyone to contribute and connect on a profound level. There was so much self-discovery and strategic thinking. By fostering a brave space where vulnerability and critical thinking coexisted, she empowered our cohort to explore new dimensions of their artistry and entrepreneurship.
The impact of Kesha’s contributions to our Lab cannot be overstated. Her expertise, empathy, and innovative approach were instrumental in helping us navigate our creative and strategic paths. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her and look forward to future collaborations.

Kesha and I have worked together on so many events, projects, ideas, and concepts - I am not even sure where to begin with this recommendation. She's a forest *and* a trees person. She knows when to listen, but also when it's important for her to lead. She understands the value of the word "no," but is miraculously a yes person in a world of impossibility. She empowers the people around her to take strategic risks. She taught me to lead with civility and kindness. She taught me to breathe before committing, and to challenge my own assumptions. Her commitment to social causes is unparalleled and her servant leadership is demonstrated by her living her values every day. Kesha has been an asset to every organization that has been lucky enough to have her - from her employers, to her board service, to her unending enthusiasm for volunteerism. I literally cannot sing Kesha's praises enough.
