[Michlib-l] Don't miss out - registration closing this week!

[Jan Davidson]

Last chance to take advantage of advanced facilitation training for Michigan library staff!

Ever been in charge of a meeting and struggled to handle conflict within the group? Ever wished you had more skills for bringing a group to agreement? Are you intimidated to facilitate a meeting because you're afraid of potential conflict? If so, we have training for you!

In partnership with the Library of Michigan (with funding provided in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services), MCLS will be offering four more trainings on facilitation presented by We Can Work It Out, LLC<http://www.wecanworkitoutllc.com/> this month and next, hosted at four libraries across Michigan.

These trainings are open to all staff of Michigan libraries, but are advanced level, so we ask that you come with some facilitation experience. We will not be covering basic facilitation techniques in this training. They will be most fruitful for those who are working on community engagement projects for their library (such as Community Conversations), or who facilitate meetings, group discussions, or events.
