Sticky-note Strategy

For small-but-mighty organisations… when you're feeling stuck.

 

A programme that makes strategic planning easy. Get unstuck – so you can be freed up to do your best work.

The hardest problem for small organisations is that you’re doing everything – so you get overwhelmed and then you get stuck.

​​

Stuck in patterns of taking on too many projects, or spending hours writing funding bids that ask you for things you don't have. Stuck not being able to get to the next stage for your organisation, or in a loop of impossible juggling because you're one person trying to do 10 jobs.

 

And you know you just can't keep going like that – but you don't know how else it could possibly work. ​​​

I've been there. I've been that person, I've run those organisations; I've had to solve this problem dozens of times.

 

I’ve supported loads of other organisations too and the same things kept being a problem – so I came up with a plan. 

Because I love small non-profits: you do the work that gives me hope for the world. I want you to be unstuck. Focused, with a clear aim, streamlined and calm – like a sniper dolphin 🐬

​Sticky-note Strategy is my plan to get you there. So that you can confidently set the direction for your work, focus on the things that are right for your organisation and sing from the rooftops about how great you are, with the evidence to turn funders’ heads. ​​

I've made sure it doesn't take loads of time, or cost loads of money, because I know those things are in super short supply. (And you can do it on days and times to suit you).

Join Sticky-note Strategy and we’ll work through it together.

I’ll be in your corner as we get all of the brilliance out of your head and into a plan, and quickly find ways to make your organisation easier to fund and easier to manage.

"Christina helps make sense of ideas, helping to plan what you need to do to get there, for it to become a reality.

 

She listens, and more importantly hears you."

"The programme is absolutely brilliant. Even though we've not finished all the modules yet, it's changing everything in terms of us moving into the next phase of our journey – THANK YOU!!!"
– Trine

I mean, that sounds amazing – but how does it actually work?

 

Sticky-note Strategy is an interactive video course with training, support and exercises that you can do at a pace that works for you.

​​

Together, we'll go through the 4 key areas to get you unstuck: pitch, programme, partners and proof.

Thank you! It's been so juicy, the whole format has given me the perfect thinking time which has been sooooo needed. Xx

The key is – unlocking the stuckness comes from sorting out your fundamentals: the way your organisation is set up, how you communicate what you do, the projects you're going to focus on, how you're going to build your profile and get the evidence to bag the funding. ​

Sticky-note Strategy gives you the time and support to get those things nailed and supercharge your fundraising. 

You get all of the building blocks in place and you get a clear plan for what you're building over the next year so it's easier than a duplo kit with a picture.

So what happens?

​The core of the programme are the planning days, with me as your virtual guide. You don’t need to leave your house or even get out of your pyjamas, just press play. 

  1. You do a series of sticky-note based activities where I ask you questions 

  2. You empty your brain – all the things you know but don't have time to sort out, all your ideas and plans and why your organisation is brilliant – on to sticky-notes

  3. I sort it all out, turning it into something manageable and useful for you.
     

Bonus fact: if people have ever told you “you need a case for support” (or a theory of change or an evaluation plan), I also create those documents for you out of this process.

Business plans are designed to tell other people about what you're doing, Sticky-note Strategy is a plan for YOU – so you know what you're focusing on and your work is easier to manage and fund.

 
 
 
 
Value for money​

Part of the point of creating this programme is to make working with a consultant financially accessible for small organisations. The whole programme is only £695, which includes the training, materials, live one-to-one sessions and support (cost is per organisation so you can include other people you work with, board members or volunteers as needed). 
 

I've added up the cost if I was doing this with you in-person: running away days and planning sessions for you as an individual organisation. In consultancy hours, it would come to £4,100 (so you're saving £3,405!)

"Christina strengthened our organisation with training, 1-1 mentoring and hands on advice whenever needed. Thanks to her, from a small community group we grew to an organisation with multi-year funding and staff. She empowered me to believe in my vision and what I was setting out to achieve. If you need any help with these, look no further!"
