Podcast: "Personal Space Issues" | Thursday Webinar: "Coaching Skills (2023)"


We've just posted a new Dr. Albrecht podcast in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0: "Personal Space Issues." 
Personal space is something that's individual and unique to all of us. I've been thinking about the concept of personal space awareness in the workplace, especially in the library--a public space--where people come around you, often in close proximity.  
In my training programs, I often talk about your ability to have the assertiveness necessary, male or female, to say to somebody, "I need a little bit more room," and to actually put your hand up and back away, demonstrating that either intentionally or unintenionally, they have violated your space. This is something you should not apologize for, and this should be something that is accepted as appropriate.
Listen to the podcast here

While Dr. Albrecht's twice-monthly Library 2.0 podcast and blog posts are available for free, as are access to 48,000 other library professionals, our regular mini-conferences, and all the conference recordings. We also offer a series of Dr. Albrecht paid webinars and recordings which are available for individual or group viewing here.
