Move through change. Build what comes next.

I work with arts and culture organizations and leaders on where they're going, how AI fits into the work, and the leadership skills needed to turn hard decisions into practical change.

Three ways to work together

Pick the one that matches what you're dealing with.

Change tends to need all three, and almost nobody needs all three at once. Start where the pressure actually is. These are choices, not steps, and nothing here asks you to graduate from one to the next.

AI

For organizations

Learn it, decide where it belongs, or have me build it around the work you already do.

Why Leandro

You will not have to teach me the sector first.

More than a decade in arts and culture, across grassroots collectives, mid-size organizations, and major institutions. Marketing, producing, management, consulting, organizational strategy, recruiting, facilitation, coaching, and building AI systems.

That range is the point. I already know the business models, the stakeholders, the pressures, and the working realities, so the useful part of the conversation starts sooner. What I bring to it is synthesis, consensus-building, listening across people who do not yet agree, and delivering difficult truths generously.

AI

For organizations

AI for arts organizations.

Most organizations arrive with one of three questions. What are we allowed to do with this. Where would it actually help us. Can someone build the thing we keep describing. Each is its own engagement, and they combine when the need calls for it.

Strategic Planning

For organizations and boards

The plan is the artifact. Alignment is the work.

A plan that people did not build together is a document. The work is the listening, the honest read of where the organization actually is, and the agreements that let a board and a staff make decisions the same way twice.

Organizational Assessment

  • An honest read of current reality, pressures, strengths, and constraints
  • Listening across board, staff, artists, and other stakeholders
  • Program portfolio, structure, staffing model, and culture

Capacity Building & Alignment

  • Board capacity building and governance
  • Leadership-team, co-leadership, and partnership facilitation
  • Frameworks, roles, decision practices, and accountability structures

Multi-Year & Long-Term Planning

  • Inclusive multi-year planning processes
  • Priorities, measures, and implementation frameworks
  • Review practices connected to board accountability

Coaching

For individual leaders

Bring the decision you have been carrying around.

Coaching stands on its own here. It does not require a planning process or an AI project attached to it, and it is often the fastest way to get unstuck.

Application & Interview Coaching

  • Research on the actual organization, role, and moment
  • Application strategy and materials
  • Interview preparation and realistic simulation
  • Direct feedback, then specific things to practice

Executive Leadership Coaching

  • A thought partner for a hard problem, decision, or transition
  • Ongoing leadership development and decision support
  • Communication preparation when the stakes are high
  • Advisory support between the big moments

Every engagement gets built around what you're actually dealing with.
