[Michlib-l] Staff Training Day

[Nicole Williams]

Hello All,

The Novi Public Library just recently held our in-service training for
staff. This was a day-long training with  an icebreaker(bingo- get to know
each other theme) two presentations, one on emotional intelligence and
leadership (by HR) and a presentation on emotional intelligence and
personality types (flowers instead of colors)  by Dr. Rose Moten located in
the metro Detroit area. We also had a group activity of family feud based
on information about our directors, breakout department meetings and then
our final group activity was painting on canvases. In August 2021 and March
2022 we focused very heavily on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in addition
to safety training and reports from our City Manager. We needed to lighten
up our session while still making it impactful for staff, which I believe
we managed to do. After almost two and one half years of COVID and
significant industry change, we decided to incorporate more input from
staff. I believe the in-service was a smashing success. The information
absorbed by staff is still present as we are all asking each other, "What
flower are you?
