Navigate workplace expectations with confidence, professionalism, and care.

Professional conduct can feel like an unspoken rulebook, especially in public-facing library environments. This 2-hour crash course demystifies workplace expectations by exploring professional behavior through a library-specific lens. Participants will examine real-world scenarios related to boundaries, accountability, collaboration, and workplace etiquette, with attention to equity and organizational culture.

You will leave this session with greater clarity around professional norms and the confidence to navigate workplace challenges while maintaining respect for yourself, your colleagues, and your community.
