Best of Core Forum: Mindfulness as a Leadership Tool
CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Best of Core Forum: Mindfulness as a Leadership Tool" on May 13, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT. Leading a library in today’s complex landscape presents unique challenges, including political dynamics, budget constraints, and the lingering effects of the pandemic on mental health. In their efforts to create safe and healthy environments for their teams, library leaders often find themselves stretched thin and in need of strategies to enhance their own well-being. This raises an important question: how can they prioritize self-care while supporting others? In this webinar, I will explore how academic library leaders have successfully integrated mindfulness practices into their daily routines, creating better work/life balances. Join me to discover how mindfulness can empower you to navigate challenges.
