Burnout—it's not just a buzzword, it’s a reality for many in leadership. Constantly juggling work, home, and the never-ending pressure to be everything to everyone can leave us drained, with little time left to care for ourselves.
Join us for an engaging webinar created for library managers and supervisors to explore practical self-care strategies and decision-making. In a field that demands constant multi-tasking and emotional resilience, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. This session will provide practical strategies for managing stress, balancing workload, and cultivating a supportive environment for both you and your team. Learn how to integrate self-care practices into your daily routine and prevent burnout while leading with compassion and strength in every area of your life. Don’t miss the opportunity to invest in yourself and your leadership!
