The podcast where Amy reveals how to make your museum more lovable than ever.
How do you get visitors through your museum doors? How do you keep them coming back and better yet, bringing a friend? How do you help them fall in love with your museum?
As a museum professional, I know the day-to-day phone calls, meetings, and urgent needs can leave you being reactive instead of proactive when it comes to connecting with potential visitors. What if you could proactively set up good internal and external communications habits that led to happy visitors and happy employees—without all the chaos?
I’m your host, Amy Kehs, a brand strategist and communications expert for museums. Over the last 30 years, I have worked for some of the most renowned and well-loved museums on the planet. On this podcast I'll share my process for establishing proactive communication at your museum, both external and internal. All it takes is one person to create change—you. This podcast is for anyone that works in a museum because we all have the same goal…to help people to love your museum!

Ep. 07 — Practice Makes A Habit
In this episode, Amy talks about the last of the four pillars in the People First Framework—Practice. The People First Framework creates a new way to work at your museum, a way to work that will create a healthy workplace internally that you and your coworkers love.

Ep. 06 — Processes Create Peace
Museum employees find themselves being reactive instead of being able to be proactive in their work. You are reacting to the next phone call or question or external email or request. At the end of the day, you think, "I didn't get anything done that I had to do today."
In this episode, Amy talks about process and how creating processes can set you up to be proactive instead of reactive at your museum job.
