Apologies for cross-posting, and for non-Michigan staff being included on some lists. Please feel free to share. The Facilitator’s Toolbox workshops are going virtual! Staff of Michigan libraries: Do you lead meetings at your library? Do you facilitate conversations between staff or patrons and wish you had more training in how to do so effectively? Ever feel ill equipped to handle situations of conflict in a meeting or guide groups to agreement? MCLS will again be offering, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, training presented by We Can Work It Out, LLC on essential skills for library staff in Michigan to facilitate effective conversations and meetings! The workshops, to be held online this year for your safety and convenience, will include learning theory, as well as practice of skills and peer feedback. They will still be very interactive, and we are excited to add a module on facilitating meetings virtually! Registration is now open for these small, interactive workshops and we expect them to fill fast, so find out more and claim your spot today! https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/facilitation-training-2020/ Questions?
