What a day! Thanks to all who attended #GLAMCares2024 and to all the amazing speakers. 👄 11 incredible speakers 🫂 8 Board members meeting in person for the first time 😴 5 minutes of Radical Rest (complete with eye masks!) 💌 1 Support Pocket made each 🥤 Filling up our cup

@KateHFellows @glam_cares Yes this… I’ll be sneaking in after the start as I couldn’t face getting up any earlier than 5.30 😵 could get to London more easily than Birmingham which makes no sense!

Heading to Birmingham for today’s @glam_cares conference in wellbeing @ care in the cultural sector, excited to catch up with colleagues & for a great programme of talks & conversations glamcaresnetwork.wordpress.com/events-page/

@mkatemaynard @arnieskelton Thanks Melissa. Glad it’s resonated with you. 20+ years ago when I worked for a national museum Arnie ran an in-house training programme. I still use the lessons from that today. Great to know he’s still sharing wisdom! Too many museums operate at the outer edges of goodwill

a powerful blog & something that all leaders should read & more importantly take on board. a few years ago the fab @arnieskelton drew 3 circles inside each other on a board. 1 (inner) core job, 2 good will, 3 exploitation - how many in Museums are in that outer circle too often?

Some really powerful debate #museums2023 on workforce wellbeing with @glam_cares and @TamsinRussell including discussion of the stigma attached to not being seen to cope. I wrote this piece on burnout & saying no after conference 2021, still feels relevant emmakingconsultancy.co.uk/blog-latest/ju…

In a session about disposal #Museums2023 and reflecting that in the 25 years I’ve worked in museums we’ve periodically talked about the crisis in collecting and how museums just have Too Much Stuff. It’s not a new conversation and what interests me is why so little has changed

Important message for anyone joining us for our social event at @GNM_Hancock this evening 🚨 WiFi and card readers are down at the museum so all delegates are advised to *please bring cash*. Please RT so we can get the word out! #Museums2023

Massive congratulations @Hull_Museums @WilberforceHull @AliBodley on the Museums Change Lives Decolonising Museums award #museums2023. Amazing to see how far this work has since we worked on the strategy during lockdown

@fatbadger442 Didn’t actually know you could. Have just worked out how. Thank you.

Brilliant to see @LeedsMuseums @presparty here at #Museums2023 talking about how they curate exhibitions for meaningful and long-lasting change

Discussion of need for joined-up evidence compliant with Treasury Green Book to advocate better for museums in Whitehall #Museums2023. Wondering who would take on this work to avoid fragmentation & duplication of effort gov.uk/government/pub…

Listening to panel views about the crisis in civic museums. Key question: if the funding model is broken, how do we fix it? #Museums2023

Great session on poverty proofing museums #museums2023. Much of advice seems to come down to listening to lived experience, identify hidden barriers, above all don’t make assumptions. Still wondering how we square real change with declining budgets & cost pressures

Here for #museums2023 hoping for inspiration and challenge

Loved #BDisLit despite the rain

YES. Thank you for this @chrissietee @ArtsPro artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…

In a massive queue for @young_vam. I get museums not wanting the expense of online booking systems but it would really help neurodivergent kids who can’t tolerate uncertainty #inclusion
