 \n\n\nDescription\n\nManagement and leadership positions in libraries 
 rarely come with an instruction manual—for many library administrators\, 
 learning on the job is the only option. Even for those with training and 
 experience\, it can be difficult to find support for the emotional aspects 
 of the job.\n\nIn this webinar series\, Cinthya Ippoliti will guide 
 participants through a new approach to leadership where they will explore 
 tools they can proactively apply to navigate a complex and ever-changing 
 environment while emphasizing reflection and well-being. In two 90-minute 
 live\, active-learning sessions\, Cinthya will teach tools to build 
 self-awareness and engage in adaptive leadership as a framework towards 
 discovering authenticity\, building a positive work culture\, and gaining 
 confidence along the way at both the individual as well as the 
 organizational levels.\n\nParticipants will receive an optional digital 
 workbook and added readings that follow each session that can be utilized 
 once the series has ended.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nThrough 
 participation in this event\, learners will:\n\n\n	Develop a leadership 
 purpose and values that establish the core of who they want to become as 
 leaders regardless of positional authority.\n	Explore psychology and 
 philosophy concepts that form the basis of a cohesive professional strategy 
 to lead authentically\, embrace ambiguity\, and learn from 
 mistakes.\n	Apply practical strategies to scale these techniques to a 
 group/organizational level for broad impact.\n\n\n\n\nSession Learning 
 Objectives\n\nSession 1: Adaptive Leadership For Individual 
 Practice\n\n\n	Situate adaptive leadership within broader systemic 
 challenges\n	Examine the brain/body connection needed for adaptive 
 work\n	Frame adaptive leadership as an opportunity to experiment and

 Applications\n\n\n	Explore how to design systems for long-term 
 success\n	Apply emergent strategy to organizational frameworks\n	Utilize 
 elements of psychological safety/culture of care to build trust and support 
 employees\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\nCinthya Ippoliti has been a librarian for 
 over 25 years and has held roles at a wide variety of academic
