Amplify-U: Cultivating Career Confidence Through Banishing Your Inner Critic ...

Denise Jacobs

The Inner Critic is the main source of our biggest blocks to perform at our best. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to banish the inner critic in order to do our best work as contributors, collaborators, and leaders. First, you’ll discover the three mental power tools that you already possess to stop the inner critic in its tracks. Then you’ll learn methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.” By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to get unstuck, do your best work, and channel your creativity as a force for positive change in the world.

Why leadership is typically forgotten in agile transformation and what to do ...

Séverin Legras

French version below---- Most companies are entering or doing agile transformation, but typically they don't invest on the intermediate managing layers. These managers feel lost as their teams change the way they work and they don't know how ta adapt. In this talk made for a big french bank company, I give specific and pragmatic examples of what managers can do to start their role transformation. Français : La plupart des entreprises ont lancé ou sont en train de lancer une transformation agile. Mais bien souvent, une population est oubliée dans ces transformations : les managers de proximité. Pourtant les équipes qu'ils managent changent leur manière de travailler et cela a un impact direct sur leur rôle. Dans cette présentation réalisée pour une grande banque française, j'identifie des éléments concrets et applicables pour que les managers puissent comprendre et mettre en oeuvre leur propre changement de posture.

NCompass Live: Program Planning with a Marketing Mindset

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library. Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - March 13, 2024 While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money!

But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application. Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

NCompass Live: Auditing Library Websites

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - January 17, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention. Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
