This might sound easy, but sharing an idea with your board, boss, or team can be tricky, even nerve-wracking. Ask if anyone has any questions. Whenever the group is not open to what you have to say, or reacts negatively to your idea, try using open-ended questions like What if? … Or you’re stuck. Now… you’re ready to begin!

I'd ask questions on Twitter before. Find ways they can get their own voices out there, either by encouraging them to go to conferences (and financially supporting that) or helping them find publishing opportunities. Museums are "no" cultures, often for good reason. This month, we're thinking about the way we do work in museums.

For about half an hour, hundreds of people play together, silently, as directed by disembodied voices inside their headphones. The voice tells you what to do –stand up, shake hands, play Twister, make silly shapes—and you do it. Two and a half minutes in, the “omnipotent voice” Steve introduces himself.

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.
