[Rescheduled from March 31 to May 5]
Join us to learn how to transition from an information provider to a facilitator of meaningful, productive conversations with colleagues and patrons. Gain practical facilitation tools to ensure every voice is heard and valued, resulting in reduced meeting fatigue and more collaborative, community-centered services.
As librarians take on greater responsibility for leading meetings, discussions, and collaborative work, strong facilitation skills are increasingly essential. This webinar will focus on intentional strategies for managing group dynamics, drawing out quieter voices, and keeping conversations focused and effective. Participants will leave with techniques they can immediately apply in meetings, workshops, and community engagements to build trust and move conversations toward action.
