Inclusive and Impactful: Reinventing Your Meeting Culture (PCI Webinar) Online
The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we have contracted with PCI Webinars to provide our members with access to their live webinars. These webinars are free to MLS members who register through our calendar. Please do not register directly with PCI. Members who register directly with PCI are responsible for paying their registration fee.
Please help us keep MLS sponsored training free for all members. If you are unable to attend the live webinar, please cancel your registration. A cancellation link can be found in your confirmation email, or you may contact Sarah Donnelly at sdonnelly@masslibsystem.org to cancel.
Because we are working with an outside vendor, it is important that you cancel your registration in the event that you are unable to attend the live webinar. A recording of the webinar will be available on the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website about a week after the live webinar. If you have any issues registering or signing into the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website, please let us know. Please do not contact PCI Webinars or Niche Academy directly about their live webinars or webinar recordings.
Description
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, creating an inclusive environment, and communicating clear meeting guidelines, instructions, and outcomes.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will be able to discuss methods to avoid and what works well in their organization’s settings.
