ALJP Consulting

What ALJP Consulting does

ALJP Consulting, LLC is a mission-driven for-profit consulting firm founded in Summer 2019 by Jocelyn Prince and incorporated in Illinois. The firm serves nonprofit arts and culture organizations across the United States with a portfolio of services centered on executive search, strategic planning, board coaching and development, facilitation, professional coaching, interview training, bias awareness workshops, and restorative Rest Retreats. Pricing is structured around each client's operating budget, with both project-based and retainer arrangements, alongside pro bono and reduced-rate work for culturally specific and marginalized-community organizations.

The firm operates as a fully remote organization with a small core team (including a founder/principal and operations specialist) supplemented by a curated network of freelance consultants across at least nine U.S. cities (Chicago, New York, Boston, Minneapolis, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Francisco, and others). The candidate pipeline is supplemented by Theater Folx of Color, a founder-built BIPOC Facebook community of 14,000+ members. Notable clients include Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Goodman Theatre, NY Theatre Workshop, American Repertory Theater, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Pasadena Playhouse, Memorializer MCC Theater, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and the Arts Administrators of Color Network.

The go-to-market combines thought leadership (publishing in American Theatre and Playbill, speaking at TCG's National Conference, Georgetown, Howard, and Brown), a direct-consultation motion (free 30-minute Zoom discovery meetings), earned media, and community-led inbound. Revenue is professional services fees scaled to client budget; no external funding, M&A, or public financial disclosures are present in the source material. The firm explicitly competes on a values-driven, equity-centered methodology (Power Sharing, Creative Metrics, 360 Feedback, Reflexive Assessment) rather than on technology or scale.
