Conversations Worth Having for Library Leaders – Session 3

Monday, April 18 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Register to apply for a seat in of this four-week workshop here.

Session 3 – Monday, April 18, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Communication remains the top issue for organizations, teams, and relationships. Almost everyone struggles with how to effectively communicate when frustrated or facing conflict. This course will teach you two powerful practices that will spark meaningful connections, ignite creativity, and empower library leaders at any level to make a difference. It’s all about the questions that you ask and how you frame the conversation. This course is grounded in Appreciative Inquiry, a widely used positive change approach.

Format: 4-week virtual workshop that consists of weekly live virtual group discussions followed by homework to do on your own each week. See schedule and topic information below. View the full course manual here.

Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will:

  •  Use generative questions to shift the dynamics of personal and workplace communication problems.
  •  Experience flipping negative conversations to conversations worth having
  • Use effective feedback strategies with common workplace situations.
