Stephanie Weaver

Stephanie Weaver developed her problem-solving approach during twenty years of working in the healthcare and museum fields. Her real-world experience comes from years at institutions considered best-in-class: Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago Children's Museum, Chicago Botanic Garden, and the San Diego Zoo. Long known for her ability to distill and synthesize key information, she is also a highly rated workshop presenter and meeting facilitator. She has created memorable experiences on a tour bus in China, out of a backpack near a garden lagoon, with a Snow Fairy on an Enchanted Winter Wednesday, while making a section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, and as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition team.

Her book about crafting memorable visitor experiences is called Creating Great Visitor Experiences: A Guide for Museums, Parks, Zoos, Gardens, and Libraries. Her 8 Steps to Great Visitor Experiences forms the foundation for her coaching and consulting practice. She is based in San Diego, where she lives with her husband and their golden retriever, Buddy Girl.
