MOVED Strategies

Real connection. Real change.

Anyone can fill a room. What happens once people are in it is my work.

Let's create something people feel See the work

About half of American adults say they feel lonely. Connection is the cure that moves people.

We live in a world that is siloed, tribal and lonely. MOVED Strategies breaks down the walls between people and creates the moments where real connection happens.

Facts inform us. Feelings move us. I build experiences that do both, and the partnerships that keep the momentum going long after the room empties.

About Sharon

A connector at heart

I'm Sharon Cichy, founder of MOVED Strategies. I build the trust and connection that move people to act.

For more than 15 years I've worked across health, housing, hospitality, media and finance. I've raised $1M+, secured 130+ sponsors and partnered with organizations from The Washington Post to Suburban Hospital.

Humans feel. When we feel, we are moved to act.

Whatever your industry, if you have a moment that matters, I'll help the right people feel it and show up.

How I work

The MOVED method

Four steps, from the first feeling to the relationships that keep it going.

  1. Feel

    Design an experience people sense in their body, through breath, food, story and place.

  2. Connect

    Bring the right people into the room and give them a reason to go deeper.

  3. Move

    Turn that feeling into action: a partnership, a purchase, a pledge.

  4. Sustain

    Build the relationships and systems that keep it going without me.
