In these changing, uncertain times, museum professionals must develop brave new skills to remain relevant. In this session, explore tools, conditions, and approaches for tapping into creativity and developing collaborative trust with our colleagues and communities. Based on their experiences creating museum labs, salons, and experimental projects, panelists will present models for igniting staff creativity, discovering new passions, and instigating generous collaborations.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will be able to advocate for more professional development opportunities to exercise their imaginations and explore creative problem solving techniques in their museum practices.
• Identify key components and characteristics of experiences that inspire new approaches to projects and challenges.
• Participants will be able to develop valuable collaborations with colleagues and team members that enhance their ability to reconsider and reimagine their work and their museum's impact.
