Relationship Building
With Lynette de Montreuil
Join us as we explore how relationships build resilience. When Lynette de Montreuil joined the DesBrisay in 2018, Town funding had been cut by 50% with the museum running a deficit and at significant risk of closure. By the end of 2019, programs had doubled, and attendance had almost tripled. This was made possible through partnerships and community engagement. Lynette will share her experiences that include positive wins, and valuable lessons learned. This workshop will focus on how to communicate effectively, meet people where they are at, and follow the platinum rule of treating people the way they want to be treated.
