EP 7: Head, Heart & Gut

James Mackenzie-Blackman, CEO of Eden Court, joins Mike Evenson on the podcast to discuss how his organization has continued to engage with its patrons, re-vectored staff and technology to help their community and collaborated with peer arts groups in the Scottish Highlands. James stressed the importance of blocking out all of the noise and clinging to your values to best serve staff, customers and the community at large.

James also shared bright spots that he’s experienced during these otherwise gloomy times, like uncovering staff skills that were not known and taking advantage of the gift of time to reflect on a set of scenarios that haven’t had the proper attention paid to them.
