 \n\nDescription\n\nDoes your departmental or organizational staff need a 
 morale boost to realize their full potential? Is your library looking for 
 creative approaches to better serve individuals\, families\, students\, 
 businesses\, and community partners while maximizing your staff’s skills 
 and talents? Sometimes what we need in administrative planning is a new way 
 of learning\, thinking\, and doing! Try the in-reach role\, the ability to 
 develop our inner best and bring that to the table. In-reach\, a play on 
 “library outreach\,” helps to develop fresh and different perspectives 
 – and boost morale. In this session participants will learn seven 
 easy-to-use in-reach techniques or can-do-isms. It will show how in-reach 
 can stretch us to tap a reservoir of inspiration and goodwill – whether 
 we are navigating internal communications or discovering community needs. 
 It will teach how to cultivate a kind\, cheerful\, and even-tempered 
 attitude in oneself and staff. In-reach skills reduce friction and tap 
 creative intelligence to move an organization forward.\n\nLearning 
 Outcomes\n\nAt the end of this webinar\, attendees will:\n\n\n	Examine 
 three tips or principles on how to activate library in-reach (the ability 
 to bring out the best in ourself and others).\n	Identify benefits of

 build department and/or organization morale.\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nThis
