Plettner-Saunders Consulting
(formerly Victoria J Saunders Consulting)
I am Victoria Plettner-Saunders, sole proprietor of Plettner-Saunders Consulting. I provide consulting services to the arts and culture non-profit, philanthropic and government arts agency communities. In addition, I am a Franklin-Covey certified coach providing executive coaching for arts professionals. As an arts consultant since 2005, I have worked with clients nationwide from my home base in San Diego. I often partner with colleagues on projects when a "team-approach" is the best solution for the client.
All of my work is grounded by three key principles:
Learn: Conducting research that strengthens my client's knowledge base;
Facilitate: Supporting greater organizational productivity and success through planning and assessment; and
Lead: Helping my clients build their leadership and/or professional capacity through executive coaching and one-on-one consultations.
My consulting practice is infused with my strengths as a curious researcher and analyst as well as being a thoughtful planner and diplomatic strategist.
There are no cookie cutters in my tool box, I design and create projects and plans that meet your specific needs. I am driven by a desire to ensure your success with outcomes you can use.
My research and writing skills are frequently put to use to explore and report on issues for a variety of stakeholders. I am well-versed and thoughtful about the roles individuals and organizations play in the arts and culture eco-system. I am committed to strengthening the arts and culture community through organizational and leadership capacity building. I have a special interest in emerging and mid-career arts leadership.
My skill and training as a professional coach provides support for those exploring their career identities and experiencing career transitions.
My work is permeated with professionalism, passion, creativity and attention to detail.
