New Webinar - "Building Good Work Relationships: A Masterclass with Loida Garcia-Febo"

Building Good Work Relationships: A Masterclass with Loida Garcia-Febo
The Library 2.0 Mental Health and Wellness Series

OVERVIEW

Our relationships with colleagues significantly impact attitudes and outcomes at work, have very real implications for personal and professional well-being, and can even impact our ability to live a full healthy life. Library workers are human beings and are impacted by the world's chaotic climate, the situation in their library’s community service area, and interactions with coworkers.

The teamwork that comes from library workers who have good working relationships is key to successfully tackling difficult situations, bringing ideas to fruition, developing library workers’ careers, and even contributing to the functioning of libraries at the heart of communities. It is also immensely helpful to have tools and strategies to build good working relationships with people we see every day, sometimes even for longer periods than family.

Everyone can improve skills related to building good working relationships with coworkers and managers. The information and recommendations in this webinar are customized specifically for library workers. Attendees will learn about how successful relationships look for those working in libraries, the ins and outs of positive and negative relationships, and how to deal successfully with the stressors impacting work relationships. 

This 60-minute training is presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by Loida Garcia-Febo. A handout copy of the presentation slides will be available to all who participate.

  • Attendees will learn about principles for building and improving work relationships
