My name is Shannon Mullen O’Keefe. I’m the curator of The Museum of Ideas. The Museum is a place that acquires, conserves, researches, communicates, and exhibits the tangible and imaginable benefits of deep thinking.
It is a ‘museum of the mind’ that invites leaders, thinkers, and everyday experts to express their ideas.
“The imagination has no limits.
The physical world does.
The work exists in both.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
A lover of wisdom, I’m dedicated to imagining what we can build and achieve together. I operate from a place of curiosity, inviting questions, and reflections in order to call to light the hidden messages that surround us everywhere. I believe there is power in what is often unseen, unsaid, or invisible.
What does this look like practically speaking? I’m a thinker, writer, curator, and leader of collaborative teams. I’ve served in leadership and executive roles in a global professional services firm and in a nature-based nonprofit organization. I’ve led global scale projects and culture change initiatives. I’ve contributed to thought leadership articles, newsletters, reports, and social media content. I’ve co-curated an artistic exhibition and installation for a global audience and have facilitated conversations about AI and technology ethics.
I contribute a weekly reflection on the invisible things all around us that matter to our lives and leadership.
I collaborate with leaders, thinkers, and everyday experts to publish collaborative thought pieces which invite thinking about our better future.
I coauthored a book about moral questions for technology leaders published in January of 2024. Check it out at 10moralquestions.com
