Connect people. Align direction. Enable transformation.
I prioritize work with organizations that value social good, leveraging a relational approach to work with leadership teams, governance bodies and stakeholders to identify shared values and relevant, sustainable outcomes.
My process leverages systems thinking to explore the outside-in, the inside-out, and key stakeholders to identify opportunities to co-create sustainable, relevant goals that deliver real benefit the shared success of the organization and the stakeholder communities it serves.
Client Reviews
Nous avons eu la chance d’être accompagnées par Akoulina Connell. Grâce à son expertise et à son talent de facilitatrice, elle a su stimuler les échanges en créant un “safe space” où tous et toutes ont pu contribuer et apprécier cet exercice de co-création.
Brigitte Couture - JEU, Revue de théâtre
I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Akoulina on the Linked Digital Future project with CAPACOA. She provided sage counsel on tackling specific issues with stakeholders and through her leadership I felt connected, informed and empowered to carry out our work to provide advice to performing arts companies on how to navigate the ongoing digital shift in our sector.
Bridget Macintosh - Cultural Strategist & Advisor
Akoulina has a keen and practical understanding of both the need for robust indicators of performance and the limitations of what currently serves the cultural community. She has pioneered the development of innovative means for agents to identity, quantify, and manage in the challenging arena of grant-funded cultural endeavour.
This extends to measures which are widely sought after but seldom achieved, such as the demographics and Social Return on Investment indicators which she developed.
She will be a credit to any agency lucky enough to land her.
