30 Minutes with Amanda – Bring Your Idea to Life

Come with an idea. Leave with your next 3 moves.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start.

Maybe you want to organize an event in your town. Maybe you’ve been thinking about starting a nonprofit or community initiative. Maybe you need sponsors, funding, volunteers, community partners—or you simply have an idea you care about and don’t know what to do next.

Book a private 30-minute strategy session with Amanda Von Hera and let’s work through it together.

Amanda is the Chair and Co-Founder of Spirit of Nanaimo Society and has hands-on experience turning community ideas into real projects and events—from developing concepts and securing funding to working with sponsors, municipalities, businesses, nonprofits, volunteers, and community partners.

This isn’t a course or a generic step-by-step formula. It’s a focused conversation about your idea, your community, and what you can realistically do next.

We can work on:

• Planning a community event

• Starting a nonprofit or community organization

• Turning an idea into a community initiative

• Finding sponsors and funding opportunities

• Building partnerships with businesses and organizations

• Volunteer and community engagement

• Developing your project or event concept

• Figuring out what to do when you’re stuck

• Or another community-focused idea you want help developing

What happens during the session?

We’ll spend 30 minutes focused specifically on your idea and where you are right now.

We’ll identify the biggest questions or obstacles, talk through practical possibilities, and narrow everything down into actionable next steps.

By the end of the session, the goal is simple:

You’ll leave with your next 3 moves.

I’m offering these first sessions at a reduced founding rate while I build this new 1:1 offering and work with more people who want to create something meaningful in their own communities.

Sessions are 30 minutes and held online.

This session provides practical guidance based on Amanda’s personal experience with community organizing, events and nonprofit development. It does not constitute legal, accounting, tax, or other professional advice.
