Core Webinar: Library In-Reach to Boost Morale and Realize Our Full
Potential

Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: Does your departmental or organizational staff need a morale
boost to realize their full potential? Is your library looking for creative
approaches to better serve individuals, families, students, businesses, and
community partners while maximizing your staff’s skills and talents?
Sometimes what we need in administrative planning is a new way of learning,
thinking, and doing!

Try the in-reach role, the ability to develop our inner best and bring that
to the table. In-reach, a play on “library outreach,” helps to develop
fresh and different perspectives – and boost morale. In this session
participants will learn seven easy-to-use in-reach techniques or
can-do-isms. It will show how in-reach can stretch us to tap a reservoir of
inspiration and goodwill – whether we are navigating internal
communications or discovering community needs. It will teach how to
cultivate a kind, cheerful, and even-tempered attitude in oneself and
staff. In-reach skills reduce friction and tap creative intelligence to
move an organization forward.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, the attendees will:

   -

   examine three tips or principles on how to activate library in-reach
   (the ability to bring out the best in ourself and others).
   -

   identify benefits of library in-reach.
   -

   determine two ways to put in-reach into action to build department
   and/or organization morale.

Who should attend?

This session is designed for library staff at all levels.
