Speaking
Bringing together perspectives rarely found in one speaker
Broadcasting and storytelling; museums and heritage; fundraising and philanthropy; creative leadership; organisational change; sport; audiences; and the challenge of making established institutions matter to new generations.
Lucy is particularly interested in speaking about
01
The future of museums
From custodianship to collaboration, participation and shared authority.

Storytelling that changes organisations
How a compelling story can transform audiences, income and ambition.

Bringing personality back into heritage
Moving beyond dates and facts to reveal the complicated, contradictory people behind our cultural icons.

Creative leadership
Building ambitious, entrepreneurial organisations without losing purpose.
05
Making heritage relevant
Challenging institutions to tell more stories and welcome more voices.
