I attended this breakout session at the MLA Conference, and it was standing room only; the content was excellent. Extreme multitasking is falling out of vogue, but how do we pull ourselves back to a mindful state? Hear more about what it means to be mindful, and hear about tips and tricks to help you get your zen back in the new year. Read our earlier post about mindfulness.
Mindfulness in the Library (View Recording Now)
Thursday, January 30, 2014
12:00 PM–1:00 PM (Central Time)
A simple definition of mindfulness is, “paying attention to the present moment, observing thoughts and feelings without judgment and letting them go with ease.” Mindfulness practice strengthens our emotional resilience and leads to greater awareness of ourselves and each other, which can ultimately improve working relationships and public service relations. This webinar presentation will introduce you to ways in which library staff can use mindfulness in their jobs to help with stress and conflict.
Presenters:
- Jenny Sippel, Faculty Librarian, Minneapolis Community & Technical College Library
- John Daniels, Computer Systems Manager, Minneapolis Community & Technical College Library
