Building Strategic Relationships: Managing up, Down and Side-to-Side

This workshop includes two sessions--November 19 and December 10, 2025.

True leadership isn’t about a title—it’s about influence, trust, and the ability to build strong relationships in every direction. 

In this two-part course, museum professionals will learn practical strategies for managing up to supervisors, leading down with clarity and empathy, and collaborating across departments. Through interactive discussions and real-world scenarios, participants will explore how to build trust, navigate power dynamics, and communicate effectively—especially in matrixed or siloed environments. Whether you're an emerging or seasoned leader, this course will help you strengthen your impact across your organization.

Participants will also receive an exclusive collection of resources specifically chosen for museum professionals.

Join us and  build communication skills for navigating complex organizational relationships.
