🔴 Watch Recording: Applying the Visitor Service Lens to Team Building

The year is 2024 and building work relations within cultural institutions has never felt more difficult. The global pandemic has changed significantly how we socialize with our peers, and institutional culture is significantly impacted by this shift. Who would have thought that an opportunity to challenge siloed workplaces would come while beta-running an experience intended for museum guests?! I shared my experience with how engagement at a company holiday party drastically impacted the norms that were seen in the museum on a daily basis in a post here in the Nest several months ago, but I believe there are ways to use this information to continue to challenge barriers in our workplaces to build more positive work culture.  I am so pleased to have been invited to share more about this experience and lead a discussion on what it might mean for contributing to a culture conducive to communication, collaboration, and camaraderie. Join me and Goosechase’s amazing Community Manager, Craig

Side-quest adventuring 🗻

Keeping with the playful and game-based nature of Goosechase, I have a fun question for folks in the Lounge! 🛋 In video games you’ve got your main quests that actively progress the story, but also side-quests that can enrich your experience (even if they don’t have any direct bearing on the main quests).What side-quest(s) are you currently completing in your real life? 🎒

THIS... OR THAT?

Just for a little fun, here’s a game we play on slack at Goosechase HQ each week and the responses have been nothing less than hilarious 🤣. It’s called This Or That, you’re given a scenario and two choices, and you simply need to pick one or the other. That’s it! Pick your own level of humiliation (and remember you have to choose only ONE):Here's the situation, you got caught red-handed doing something bad, and the judge (me), finds you GUILTY, but gives you a choice in your punishment.. 😅. You either MUST sing Karaoke 🎵  EVERY TIME you're in public OR be forced to wear a clown suit EVERYWHERE 🤡 Please only choose the THIS... or the THAT. There are not other options, there are no grey areas up for discussion. it is THIS or THAT.... That's it, that's all

What The Duck?

In a land where the mighty Goose is viewed as the superior water-fowl, it can only be assumed that ducks MUST be inferior in every way…. from quality of their feathers to their intellect.With that said, I think we can safely call anytime we’ve messed up something BIG a “What The Duck” moment? Not that there’s anything wrong with making mistakes, but sharing them only serves to help others from making the same mistakes.So what say you flock? What have been your biggest WTD moments? Feel free to share broadly from your professional life OR specifically with regards to running experiences on Goosechase!------I’ll go first… Now while this doesn’t have to do with Goosechase experiences, it does still make my toes curl with embarrassment when I think about it. My “What the duck” moment came when I was in a tense negotiation with an event venue via email. Long story short, there were a few passive aggressive emails on both sides and our internal legal counsel was involved to ensure things wen
