Core Webinar: Transform and Thrive: Fostering Well-Being

CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Transform and Thrive: Fostering Well-Being" on February 4, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT. Library staff and administration do more than simply point people toward books and information—we foster well-being for ourselves and others. One way to promote well-being is by tapping into the entrepreneurial spirit and applying it within the library organization—starting with the end in mind, tapping dignity, unity, and harmony in our thinking and daily activities, and creatively reducing bureaucracy.

This session draws out the best thinking on well-being, mindfulness, and catching the entrepreneurial spirit to fill our daily activity with enthusiasm, goodwill, and calmness. Nurturing these qualities helps tap and build upon our strengths. The tips and suggestions presented in the session demonstrate that much can be incorporated into our routines at no cost.

The overarching goals are to optimize planning and prioritizing, increase the quality of community engagement, and help us discover better service solutions. Join us to go beyond balancing too many projects with too little time. Discover how to foster well-being and promote self-renewal. As Emerson reminds us, “Life consists in what a person is thinking of all day.” This session won’t tell you what to think but rather will show how to activate creative thinking and enrich daily activities in practical ways.
