Trying to make changes at your library can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you get people on board? What do you do when you encounter resistance? Change management plans can help, but too often they frame the change as a problem to manage rather than an opportunity to reach for a shared vision. In this webinar, you will:

• Learn strategies for effective, positive change-making
• Examine how shifting your mindset to center growth and strengths can help you positively reframe change
• Explore approaches to leadership, collaboration, and power-sharing that meaningfully engage impacted groups
• Plan for and address change anxiety and resistance

Presented by: Dr. Audrey Barbakoff, CEO of Co/Lab Capacity and author
