Every Step of the Way
Every Step of the Way is a sequel to Bamboozled, which was written by Dr. Sherene Suchy and released in 2018. Every Step of the Way was prompted by feedback from others who find Suchy's quiet courage and commitment inspiring in the face of an ongoing health challenge. Described by one GP as "an amazing woman," stubborn may be more accurate as Suchy continues to focus on quality of life, not longevity, working with integrative medicine. Suchy reflects on nine insights that support her courage. This includes the significance of tuning into whatever we sense as spirit and honouring intuition. A Social Worker who specializes in social action research, Suchy includes reflections from others on finding purpose, healing emotions, nourishing ourselves and creating tripods of support. The reflections include insights from Suchy's integrative health team. Recommended reading for anyone who wants to strengthen their courage and commitment to living life, not a 'condition'.
Leading with Passion
What does it take to lead the 21st-century museum? Balancing a head for business and working from the heart guided by passion! This is the message Sherene Suchy discovered in her work with more than 80 international museum directors whose thoughts and experiences ground this book on change management in 21st-century cultural organizations.
Keepsakes
Keepsakes is a personal guide for families about the "stuff" and "stories" they want to share with the next generation (family or museum). The memoir combines Dr. Sherene Suchy's experience as a Social Worker and co-executor for a family estate with insights from nearly 100 interviews with families plus specialists in estate and heritage management. In eight chapters, Sherene provides a framework for families to work through the emotional work of estate management using museums as role models for the 'museum of you' at home. Along the way, we discover the true meaning of inheritance and how provenance (an heirloom's life story) can become the 'first page' of a much bigger story. Keywords: Family, Psychology, Estates, Heirlooms, Provenance, Museums, Social Work
Age Doesn't Matter
Age Doesn't Matter is a guidebook for people travelling on their working journey. The guide features 20 stories shared by travellers age 55+, encouragement from directors of Canberra based recruitment agencies, and tips from managers of intergenerational teams. The guidebook is based on two social action research projects completed by Dr. Sherene Suchy for the Council on the Ageing in the ACT. There are five chapters with 'signposts' to guide anyone on their working journey - no matter what age! Keywords: Work, Career Planning, Mentoring, Mature Age, Social Work
Museum Philosophy for the Twenty-First Century
What underlying philosophy and mission should museums pursue in the first half of the twenty-first century? In Museum Philosophy, twenty-four authors use the lenses of a variety of disciplines to answer this essential question. Museum professionals offer their answers alongside philosophers, historians, political scientists, educators, sociologists, and others in a wide-ranging exploration of institutions from art museums to zoos. Hugh Genoway's book offers philosophical and ethical guidelines, describes the ways specific institutions illustrate different philosophies, examines major divisions in the museum community, and explores outreach and engagement between the museum and its larger community. Both established museum professionals and students of museum studies will benefit from this insightful look into the foundations and future of their field.
Thriving in the Knowledge Age
In Thriving in the Knowledge Age, John Falk and Beverly Sheppard argue that museums require a radically new business model to survive the transition into the knowledge age. Only by shifting towards more personalized and community-based learning experiences can museums reverse the declining attendance figures of the twenty-first century. Written to provide clear answers to fundamental questions about the purpose and goals of the museum of the future, this visionary book is a must-have for museum professionals and trustees.
Museum Management and Marketing
Drawing together a selection of high quality, intellectually robust and stimulating articles on both theoretical and practice-based developments in the field, this Reader investigates the closely linked areas of management and marketing in the museum. The articles, from established and world-renowned contributors, practitioners and writers at the leading edge of their fields, deal with the museum context of management and how marketing and management practices must take account of the specifics of the museum and the not-for-profit ethos. Key writings from broader literature are included, and the collection of key writings on the investigation and study of management and marketing in the museum are of great benefit not only to those studying the subject, but also to professionals working and developing within the field.
Intentional Practice for Museums
Intentional practice is an impact-driven way of thinking and working that places a museum’s raison d’être—achieving impact—at the center of its work. A prerequisite to achieving impact is articulating the kind of impact the museum would like to achieve. An impact statement embodies three essential ideas: staff members’ passions for their work, the museum’s distinct qualities, and notions of what is relevant to audiences. The statement, as well as other work generated from intentional practice, becomes part of an Impact Framework that serves as a guidepost for all subsequent work, as any and all museum work should focus on achieving its intended impact. If the museum chooses work...
Leadership Matters
First published in 2013, this revision of Leadership Matters features nine new profiles and a new chapter of emerging museum leader voices, proving that leadership is as much about individuals as institutions. Using personal insights from the history museum field’s most engaging, innovative and entrepreneurial leaders, these profiles focus not only on museum directors and CEOs, but also on the “leaders within”—deputies, department heads and team leaders -- and those demanding change from the community. Baldwin and Ackerson weave together the voices of 21st-century museum leadership at its best, creating a resource for graduate students, mid-career professionals, institutions, and boa...
