To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6917082887630/WN_n3VsT5pSTUW9pMDnpx1goA. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

Ted Talks are educational, entertaining, timely and sometimes stretch your thinking, beliefs and opinions on a variety of topics. They are free to access and easy to share with your coworkers, friends and family.

Ted Talks can be used as tools for self-growth and as an opportunity for your team, department and organizational learning and development.

With the nearly impossible task of choosing only 7 Ted Talks to discuss in this hour, Andrew and Holly will share their takeaways from the talks and also explore why you should watch Ted Talks to boost your self-awareness and to be more mindful of the magical world around you.

Instructor: Andrew has been developing and conducting training programs for library organizations for more than twenty years. He has presented Web-based, On-line, and Face-to-Face sessions on Customer Service and Communication Skills in the U.S. and many countries around the world.

Andrew’s programs are filled with proven techniques that attendees can immediately apply with their difficult and challenging customer behaviors. He is the past president of the Haywood County Library Board of Trustees in Western North Carolina.

Instructor: For over thirteen years, Holly Klingler has been training people in a variety of career fields on how to maximize their communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills. She has presented at the Akron Women’s Bar Association, the Ohio Certified Public Accountants Annual Conference, the Hudson Job Corp., and has trained library staff for over twelve years, eight of which were as the Continuing Education trainer at the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System.

She teaches valuable techniques to help professionals showcase their strengths, sharpen their skills, and grow both their abilities and confidence. Holly has a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy, a Masters of Library and Information Science, and a certification in nonverbal analysis. She is also a certified Career Development facilitator and an MBTI Certified Practitioner and Facilitator.

PCI Webinars are recorded and available to members of the Michigan library community in the Library of Michigan's Niche Staff Skills Academy about a week after they air. New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Library of Michigan.
