Advisory for creatives & purpose-driven leadership
One-to-one advisory with Kelly Small for leaders, creatives, and organizations navigating ethical questions, strategic decisions, and meaningful change.
Better decisions begin with clearer thinking.
The most difficult decisions rarely have simple answers. They involve competing priorities, uncertainty, relationships, responsibility, and values.
This advisory practice creates space to think more clearly about the choices in front of you. Together, we'll explore the context, trade-offs, and consequences so you can move forward with greater confidence and intention.
You might be navigating:
A career transition or leadership decision
Ethical tension in your work
A complex strategic decision
Creative burnout or overwhelm
Questions about purpose, growth, or integrity
A difficult conversation or organizational challenge
How it works
30- or 60-minute virtual sessions
Focused on a decision, challenge, or area of tension
Grounded in thoughtful conversation, not quick answers
$250/hour, with a sliding scale available
What it is
This advisory practice is designed for focused conversations around ethics, leadership, creative practice, and complex decision-making.
It's not ongoing coaching or therapy. It's a space to think critically, clarify your options, and move forward with intention.
Access.
Advisory work is offered on a limited basis and is based on fit.
If you believe this kind of support may be useful, you can reach out with a brief description of the decision or tension you’re navigating. From there, we’ll determine whether an advisory session is appropriate.

The Conscious Creative.
This advisory work is informed by the ideas behind The Conscious Creative, Kelly Small's book on ethics, responsibility, and creative leadership.
It explores the tensions that shape meaningful work and provides a shared foundation for many of the conversations that happen in these sessions.
