Jane Turner: On the Ways That Theater, Business, Risk, and Taking More Time to be a Mom Paved the Way to Leading one of Atlanta’s Cultural Centerpieces (#36)

I enjoyed talking with Jane Turner, Executive Director of the Atlanta Children’s Museum, about her journey to leading one of the city’s cultural centerpieces. We had an honest conversation about her deciding to leave the workforce to spend more time as a mom and the identity challenges that brought with it. We talked about how getting involved in theater showed up in how she creates engaging environments at her current post and how taking risks has produced all the good things that have happened along her career journey.

We also talked about how learning and literacy fueled by play is true not only for children but also for us adults.

Listen in on our conversation for a boost of inspiration and insight from one of Atlanta’s most well-known and respected leaders.
