Project Management & Workshops
Hire Fred to project manage the initiative, write the strategic plan, or run the workshops and train your team to keep them running.
The catalog
Event & initiative project management
The repeatable Juneteenth model: scope, budget, vendors, permits, program, media crew, and a debrief your board can read.
Writing & creative workshops
Leadership style writing sessions for staff, students, or community cohorts. People write, read aloud, and leave known.
Youth arts residencies
Sustained teaching-artist work in schools, detention settings, and youth programs, with a public showcase at the end.
Facilitation & staff training
Train your own people to run the room: agenda design, conflict, participation, and closing the loop afterward.
We conduct rigorous evaluations that illuminate inefficiencies and establish a definitive baseline for improvement.
Program design & evaluation
Logic models, measures, and honest evaluation — grounded in doctoral research, written for funders and for practice.
Fractional program lead
A monthly retainer for organizations that need the capacity of a program director without the line item.
Consulting & advisory
For organizations that need more than an event: the strategy, the research, and the internal capacity to keep the work running after we leave.
Strategic project management
When a major initiative falls outside day-to-day responsibilities, progress stalls. We serve as your project partner — aligning stakeholders and managing the details that keep complex initiatives moving forward.
Community engagement & facilitation
Meaningful engagement happens when people feel heard and conversations lead somewhere. We design and facilitate processes that bring diverse perspectives together and create momentum for action.
Event & conference management
Successful events require more than logistics. We help organizations define success and manage the countless moving pieces that turn a vision into a professional, purpose-driven experience.
Research & reporting
Good decisions require good information. We gather data, identify meaningful patterns, and translate findings into practical recommendations leaders can use to move forward with confidence.
Funding strategy
Case for support, funder mapping, and narrative that matches what the program actually does.
Narrative & communications
Messaging, storytelling, and media capture — so the work is understood outside the room it happened in.Successful events require more than logistics. We help organizations define success and manage the countless moving pieces that turn a vision into a professional, purpose-driven experience.
