This document discusses rethinking holiday programming at libraries to be more inclusive. It notes that some children may not celebrate holidays due to factors like faith, poverty, or trauma. The document advocates making libraries welcoming for all by offering non-holiday alternatives during celebrations. It acknowledges concerns about complaints or stopping points, but argues libraries should strive to include marginalized groups as much as possible. Contact information is provided for those interested in further discussion.

AD Presentation
This document outlines the qualifications and skills of an applicant for a student leader position. It discusses their ability to facilitate talents through communication, recognize individual skills, and encourage sharing skills.

The applicant presents themselves as knowledgeable, informed, mindful of abilities, and able to provide a thorough understanding. They emphasize being detail-oriented, having time management skills, and ability to balance school, personal life and work. The document also discusses setting goals, encouraging others, upholding policy, and creating a positive environment through leadership.
Why Should the Doctor Rx Your Product?
Decades ago, Peter Drucker was invited to address the senior management team at General Motors, he asked them a simple, but penetrating question: “Why should I buy a GM car?”
Many senior executives attempted to answer that simple question but, nobody was able to give a convincing answer! The senior managers at General Motors had unlearnt the art of winning customers by not being able to answer the simple question - “Why should I buy a GM car?” But they kept introducing more and more new models which less and less customers bought. And that was the prelude to GM’s decline and bankruptcy.
That question still resonates for every business including Indian Pharma. I wonder how many field sales people - Medical Reps and their managers can answer the question - Why Should the Doctor Rx Your Product? Having a clear answer to that question is the key to winning customers - be they doctors, chemists, distributors or hospitals.
As companies grow larger, hierarchies are created and sales processes like CRM/SFA evolve and become embedded. In the absence of a dynamic top leadership, hierarchy and processes become rigid and difficult to change even though rapidly changing market dynamics demand that they do. Bureaucracy slows down customer-centric decision making and inaction becomes part of the organisation's culture. The emphasis shifts from developing employees and winning customers to launching products and hitting numbers.
Peter Drucker rarely blamed individuals; he saw root causes in the design of organizations—in their structures, processes, norms, and routines. He would ask leaders a few provocative questions: “What is your mission? What should you stop doing? Where has the drive for short-term efficiencies undermined long-term effectiveness? What should be your objectives and guiding principles?”
Bathed in Modernity: Spatial Relegation of Houseless Individuals and Liberato...
This document summarizes a presentation about liberatory approaches to water and sanitation for houseless individuals living in group camps. It discusses how houseless people experience spatial relegation to marginal areas and social service institutions, facing physical and social restrictions to water and sanitation access. The presentation examines theories of how public health ideals of civilizing individuals and social hygiene historically increased social exclusion. It notes houseless individuals in group camps experience enhanced spatial relegation and social exclusion. The presentation concludes decentralized and centralized water/sanitation approaches may provide more access, but social restrictions are harder to overcome, making this a timely issue as group camps rise in the US.

Its Not About The Food
This document discusses normal eating behaviors versus eating concerns and provides advice on how to support someone you suspect may have an eating concern. It defines normal eating as flexible eating in response to hunger, emotions, and social situations. Eating concerns involve rigid behaviors around food intake, preoccupation with weight and calories, feeling out of control around food, and isolation. The document recommends speaking privately and listening without judgment if concerned about a friend, and provides campus resources for support or evaluation of eating concerns.

A Strategic Model for Product Diversification and Broker Revenue Enhancement
The document discusses a strategic consulting practice that helps brokers diversify their revenue streams by expanding their product offerings to clients. It details how the consulting firm conducted an audit that revealed clients were purchasing multiple ancillary services, like bill repricing and wellness programs. This presented an opportunity for brokers to act as the primary client contact and generate additional fees by placing these services themselves rather than ceding control to third-party administrators. The firm then helped a broker implement a turn-key strategy to place bill repricing and other services for 10,000 covered lives, generating an additional $60,000 in revenues with no disruption to clients.

Concepts in native american culture
Native American concepts and beliefs provide valuable insights. Their culture emphasizes living in harmony with nature, perceiving the Earth as a spiritual presence to be honored. They see themselves as children of the Earth and students of nature. Their worldview values silence, generosity, friendship, and using resources reverently rather than wastefully. Their justice system serves their needs through informal decision making respected by the community. High context communication and storytelling builds trust. Many Native American teachings can address modern issues like stress, environmentalism, and economic issues.
Librarianship as a Cultural Profession
This document discusses defining and understanding multiculturalism for librarianship as a cultural profession. It begins by defining key terms like race, culture, ethnicity and explores how they differ. It then examines aspects of culture within dominant American norms versus various subcultures. It emphasizes that all institutions, including libraries, have a dominant culture as well as subcultures within. The document concludes by discussing the importance of cultural diversity and inclusion in libraries based on the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights.
What does the library have to offer me
The library offers many resources for patrons beyond just books. It provides free access to Ancestry.com for researching family history, as well as access to seven local county genealogy databases. Librarians are available to help patrons use these genealogy resources. The library also supports literacy in the community by providing materials and assistance to book clubs, and hosting events like a poetry contest for National Poetry Month and a workshop on health and wellness.
Cultivating a Culture of Curiosity in our Communities
From the most mundane to the most intriguing queries, the reference librarian’s stock-in-trade relies on satisfying the curiosity of our communities. Curiosity is the spark that ignites creativity and innovation, and “Why?” and “How?” can be two of the most powerful words in our language. As librarians we owe it to our communities to remain curious ourselves and to share our enthusiasm for knowledge with them. This LIBchat will look at the power of curiosity and also provide some concrete, practical suggestions you can take to fan the flames of your own curiosity and that of your community, both inside and outside the library. (Presented as 10-minute talk at the Ohio Library Council Convention & Expo 2016)

It stands for:
Model Open Source Pay-it-forward Co-Created Urban Bio-Dynamic Educational Community. On March 12 thanks to Sobey Wing I began coalescing information on how to best speak to the idea of a sustainable educational model for the upcoming Edge-Ucation Evolver Spore on March 16, 2011. I have spent years, lifetimes, learning, healing, and being of service to others to learn how I can best help my planet. This is what I have so far. I hope you like it.
