As someone texted me recently, Art History grad school didn't teach us anything about working with others in museums. Read Fierce Conversations. Book group, conversation, whatever. Museums are "no" cultures, often for good reason. But that no culture also often translates into a no culture in the workplace.

At its most basic level, storytelling is a way to convey facts, information, history and experience from one person, the teller, to another, the listener, but it goes deeper than that. Shared stories can tie whole cultures and groups together. It allows them to have a voice in your message. And how do you tell a good story?

I've seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad).

In 1990, educator and cultural critic Neil Postman described a museum as "an answer to a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a human being?" Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. The subjective "I" voice of Michael drives the whole story.
