<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">This webinar introduces skills and practical strategies for developing empathetic, curiosity-led leadership, to help improve communication, connection
and cooperation at your library. <br>
<br>
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>
