People Management for the Planetarium
Presenter: Mary Holt
When: 2025 Dec 12 at 2pm PST (5pm EST, 22:00 UTC)
Please note that this date is the 2nd Friday of December.
As Planetarians advancing in our careers we typically find ourselves in the position of managing people. Mary recently experienced being a new manager and is very interested in learning how to be successful managing people throughout her career. In this presentation she will discuss her experience as a new people manager, but also share insights from interviews with over twenty Planetarians with a wide variety of experience levels and management styles about their experiences managing and being managed. She will explore themes common across our field and suggest some potential areas of success and improvement for fellow managers.
Mary Holt worked at The Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley California for about a year and a half. Before that she was at California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco for about 8.5 years. Her family is from the Bay Area but she grew up in Michigan and attended college at University of Michigan, which is where her planetarium career started back in 2010.
