Best of Core Forum Webinar: Saying Less, Asking More: Expand your Impact
with Coaching

Date: Wednesday, April 2, 2025

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

Description:

Leading staff in an ever-changing, unpredictable environment can be
difficult. Right now, library staff at every level are facing new (and old)
challenges to their emotional well-being at work. When both staff and
supervisors are feeling overloaded, it can be hard to find the time and
space to lead staff effectively. Coaching can be a powerful tool for
proactively supporting staff, even in times of constant transition. In this
session, we'll discuss the impact that coaching methods can have on
building resilient employees and teams. We'll share tools and techniques
that help supervisors create intentional space for thoughtful, productive
conversations with staff that address concerns, provide feedback, and
enhance professional development. We'll discuss ways to create a habit of
using coaching skills and how proactive coaching sessions can positively
impact your employee development and team-building efforts. Join us at this
session to learn how adding coaching to your professional toolbox can yield
substantial benefits.
