Consultants for Libraries presents:

Meeting Facilitation Skills for Libraries

Learn how to host productive and purposeful meetings with Dr. Curtis Rogers of Curtis Rogers Consulting!

Meetings should be productive and have a purpose. Many times staff members dread meetings and would rather do anything but attend them.

This session will introduce and reaffirm various components of hosting and attending meetings. We will discuss group dynamics, active listening skills, conflict management, how to create an inclusive environment, and how to communicate clear meeting guidelines, instructions, and outcomes.

Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss methods to avoid and what works well in their library settings.
