I want to thank you for adding this course to Niche Academy. I have needed lessons in grounding in my position at the library lately, with reminders on being professional in times of stress. I've been viewing Values-Based Resiliency in the Workplace for 15-20
minutes most work mornings to center myself and hear gentle reminders about how to continue (or resume) being skillful in working with people.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

often face serving this population. Autism-Ready Libraries aimed to improve public libraries’ capacity to provide early literacy programming to autistic children and their families. We did so by investigating the needs and barriers faced by autistic children
and their families in libraries, as well as the needs and barriers experienced by librarians who wish to better serve this population.

As library staff, our collective morale and goodwill are often eroded by a tidal wave of factors including book challenges, budget constraints, staffing shortages, toxic online discourse, and an increasingly divided culture. In times like these, searching for
common ground might sound naïve or idealistic, but intentionally cultivating these mindsets can have a profound effect on your organizational culture, communication, problem-solving, and mental health. This webinar introduces skills grounded in the “Good Inside”
approach, and will cover practical strategies to develop empathetic, curiosity-led leadership that assumes good intent in moments of conflict and stress, along with actionable communication skills for connection and cooperation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
