 there’s a widespread praise for being busy—whether it’s work stress\, 
 hustle culture\, the expectation to be constantly overwhelmed\, or the 
 pressure to always perform. The “bragging rights” for staying late to 
 finish a task set an unhealthy standard\, implying that if you’re not 
 overworked\, you haven’t worked hard enough. This expectation extends 
 across all fields\, and in libraries\, there’s the added pressure to 
 always be there for patrons\, stay open at all times\, never take time 
 off\, and always be "on." However\, succumbing to this kind of pressure is 
 not only unhealthy\, it’s also unnecessary and ineffective.\n\nIn this 
 webinar\, you’ll learn how to shift your mindset\, reprioritize\, and 
 focus on what truly matters in your library work.\n\nBy attending\, you 
 will learn to:\n\n\n	Identify unrealistic expectations in your library 
 environment\n	Develop strategies to combat the pressure to constantly 
 outperform\n	Retrain your mind to let go of guilt and stop allowing others 
 to impose it on you\n\n\n\nPresenter:\n\nJennifer Blair is the Head of User 
 Services Librarian and Associate Professor at Azusa Pacific University 
 (APU). Her role is dedicated to the user experience\, including marketing 
 the library\, and teaching. She has extensive experience teaching online 
 courses in design and library studies including library management. 
 Jennifer holds a B.A. in Graphic Design\, a M.A in Educational Multimedia\, 
 and a M.S. in Library and Information Studies. Her experience in academic 
 and public libraries as well as work experience in art and design allow her 
 to employ visionary strategies to enrich progress and enhance advancement 
 for libraries.\n\n
