Mental Model Busting 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
With all the changes in the library world, innovative, out of the box thinking is required.
When we have a mental model of something, it shapes our behavior and limits our perception of options.
Through conversation, activities, and consideration of some “dangerous” questions, we will first uncover the mental models that limits staff’s ability to move forward and then explore what could happen if we weren’t constrained by those mental models.
Shifting your mental model can result in generating simple changes in the way you serve existing customers or it may open up a new world of possibilities for new ways to serve your entire community.
Afternoon Luncheon and Showcase: 12:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
Visit with long-time colleagues, meet new people, and learn what’s new…and what’s coming …from NEO!
Awards…prizes…lunch!
NEO will present it’s Third “Rising Star” award to someone “new and shining” in our libraries!
After lunch and prizes, Cheryl Gould, Engaged Libraries will discuss how People with Soft Skills Get More Done and Are More Fun to Work With.
Providing training for hard (task oriented, functional) skills is a given. How about softer skills, those less tangible, personal growth competencies? That's less clear.
Come develop some soft skills in this session and question the mental model that they aren’t learnable.
Let’s build capacity in your organization (or yourself) by investing in skills like communication, imagination, and risk-taking, then watch great customer service, teamwork, and creativity happen. It’s not as fuzzy as it seems!
Presenter: Cheryl Gould
