Finding Your Footing in Times of Uncertainty: Navigating Change, Stress, and Complexity
A Library 2.0 Masterclass with Loida Garcia-Febo
OVERVIEW:
Many of us are tired of being told to be resilient. Yet uncertainty, change, and disruption remain part of modern life. This class explores a different perspective: resilience is not about becoming tougher or suppressing our emotions. It is built through small, consistent actions, supportive relationships, and everyday practices that help us navigate challenges with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.
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.
FOCUS:
- Adapting to continuous change with greater flexibility and self-awareness
- Learning evidence-based practices that strengthen our ability to navigate challenges and recover from setbacks
- Developing practical tools for coping with uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity
- Building confidence and a sense of agency during periods of disruption and transition
- Understanding that resilience is not something we suddenly acquire in difficult moments. It is built through small, everyday actions, choices, and habits that accumulate over time.
- Moving beyond the idea that we need to "toughen up" or become stoic, and instead cultivating the skills, relationships, and perspectives that help us respond effectively to life's challenges.
