Because professional development shouldn’t be boring…
but it should answer all of your questions
We can do better than generic slides and vague suggestions.
Your team deserves better:
✅professional development training that sparks energy, instead of draining it
✅opportunities to ask hard questions and get research-driven answers in return
✅practical resources that make things easier, not more complicated
We’ve all sat through trainings that felt like a waste of time.
That’s not what your staff needs — a “training” with cookie-cutter advice and no answers for the real issues your team faces every day.
The truth is, when workshops don’t connect to your staff’s lived experience, actual challenges, and your site’s mission, nothing changes except everyone’s calendar getting more crowded.
Spoiler Alert… Paint-by-Numbers Workshops Lose their Effectiveness Immediately
Most professional development sessions miss the mark because they’re designed for “anyone, anywhere” instead of your team. The result? Lots of time spent, but very little carried back into daily practice.
Here’s what usually goes wrong:
❌ Generic content: pre-packaged slides that don’t reflect your staff’s actual roles, questions, or audiences
❌ One-way delivery: a lecture-style format that leaves little room for dialogue or problem-solving
❌ No staying power: tips and tricks that sound good in the moment but fade by the next shift
❌ Disconnected from mission: training that focuses on surface-level tasks while ignoring the bigger “why”
It’s no secret this is a hard season for museums.
But here’s the good news: when you choose to invest in your staff, you’re making the one move that delivers outsized returns through energized teams, stronger programs, and visitors who feel the difference.
If you want to capitalize on the resources you have, invest in your team’s professional development.
