New Webinar: "Thriving at Work: Practical Strategies for Better Days in the Library"

 

Thriving at Work:
Practical Strategies for Better Days in the Library

Part of the Library 2.0 Service, Safety, and Security / Essential Librarian Series with Crystal Trice,
hosted by Dr. Steve Albrecht

OVERVIEW

Does it feel like you’re just going through the motions at work, that you are often surviving rather than thriving? Do you find it hard to bring enthusiasm and your authentic self to your job because of the "daily grind” of patron interactions, circulation duties, organizational programming, or even staff management?

Between budget constraints, changing behavioral norms, evolving technology demands, and the constant balance of serving both traditional and emerging community needs, today's library staff face unique challenges that can drain even the most passionate professionals.

In this one-hour introductory webinar, we'll explore practical strategies to help you to not just get through the day but to rediscover purpose and satisfaction in your daily work. We’ll explore techniques for managing time and tasks effectively, navigating workplace conflicts, and reconnecting with the aspects of library work that first drew you to this field–whether that was promoting literacy, serving your community, or creating welcoming spaces for learning and discovery.

LEARNING AGENDA:

  • How to identify and reframe the parts of your job you enjoy.
  • Practical tips for managing time and tasks to reduce overwhelm.
  • A glimpse into resolving common workplace conflicts.
  • A foundation for thriving in your role and setting the stage for future growth.

This 60-minute overview session on is another in our “Essential Librarian Series,” designed to be shown to new staff and leaders and to provide a refresher for all who work in the library. The presentation slides will be available to all who participate.
