October 2021 - What's New for You in Professional Development
AzLA Professional Development
AzLA PD Monthly Webinar Series.
Turning To Do to Ta-Da! Prioritizing and Organizing at Work, Korina Tueller & Brandy Helewa
Date: October 14, 2021
Time: 1 pm
Registration Link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UJ0TTYMuSy-P2sDAEyO88A
Program Description:
Do you have so much to do and so little time? Is your idea of a good time making a to-do list (and checking it off)? Are you frustrated when you make the same to-do list day after day and feel like you are getting nowhere fast? We will share free strategies and tools that can lead to successful personal and project management. They will bring satisfaction instead of stress and achievement instead of anxiety. Bring your great ideas and experiences to share!
Share your expertise and experience. The AzLA Professional Development Committee Monthly Webinar Series is back, and we want you. Submit your webinar proposal here. Submissions will be considered on a monthly basis.
The Professional Development Committee wants to add more voices to our group. If you are ready to help shape the direction of AzLA professional development, contact Lauren Clementino at devel...@azla.org. We are interested in adding librarians from all types of libraries, from all over Arizona.
