*CLA Webinars* *Mother Said There’d Be Days Like These: Dealing Professionally & Elegantly With the Unforeseen at Work *In any workplace, routine will be interrupted by events arising from internal or external developments.

Split second decision making, poise, and calm are called for. Ulla de Stricker offers straightforward tips and guidelines for negotiating these challenges with professional and personal responsibility balanced by respect for ourselves. Attendees will hear about - Strategies for creating “room for the unforeseen” - What constitutes a true emergency (vs. poor planning) - Ways to focus on solutions (vs. blame) - Strategies for capturing the learning from a challenging situation (for others and for ourselves) Date: 17 September Time: 2 pm EDT Speaker: Ulla de Stricker To register: http://www.cla.ca/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Workshops_and_Seminars&Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=13289 -- _____________________ Mr. Cabot Yu, MLIS [log in to unmask] Five Laws of Library Science - S.R.
