Coaching provides a framework for mutual understanding of concepts like trust, respect, values, and mission. As libraries take on the challenge of staff development and retention, top-down models can fail when attempting to clearly communicate these ideas, in turn affecting organizational success. Consider ways to enhance your current staff development initiatives by encouraging peer-to-peer conversations, utilizing coaching techniques to explore individuals’ goals and aspirations, and building mutually supportive partnerships between management and employees. Public librarians will share examples from their staff development initiatives and discuss ideas for building a template for peer-led professional and paraprofessional development.
The live webinar will be broadcast via Zoom. Access information will be sent to the email address used during registration on the afternoon before the webinar and again on the day of the event.
