Tomorrow … From the Beginning
October 3, 2012
In this Demco-sponsored webcast, Catherine Hakala-Ausperk from Libraries Thrive Consulting joins Demco’s Director of Library Markets, Janet Nelson to discuss how librarians can better manage the valuable resource of their time.
What are you going to do today? Tomorrow? What’s due next week? Do you have plenty of time to accomplish tasks, put out fires and innovate or, like the rest of us, are you doing three times the work you used to do? Having time management skills is no longer an option in today’s busy libraries. This webinar will help everyone, from seasoned professionals to beginners with new responsibilities, better handle their work, their stress — and their valuable time!
Learn how to:
- Better prioritize your time
- Improve your ability to plan ahead
- Be better prepared to deal with crises
- Reduce stress
- Build in time for your own ongoing learning and development
