Mission:

To empower workers and leaders in mission-driven organizations to creatively navigate change and uncertainty through compassionate reflection and committed action, embracing and transforming impermanence into opportunity.

Emily Ball Cicchini is a writer, speaker, and experienced executive who helps people and organizations navigate change with compassion, clarity, and purpose. She holds a BFA and MFA in Theatre and a PhD in Organizational Communication. She brings decades of experience working in nonprofit and higher education and a deep commitment to reflective, values-based work. She founded this Collaboratorium, a mix of collaborative space and virtual auditorium, to offer thoughtful readings, participatory seminars, and strategic insight for teams and leaders in mission-driven organizations. Her approach is grounded in the belief that impermanence is a reality we all must face, and a call to work with care, creativity, and commitment.
