[Libs-Or] Two Upcoming Workshops in Vancouver

[Holly Blosser]

Two workshops coming to Vancouver in March that may be of interest to some
of you across the river!

FIVE STAR PRESENTATIONS
Bringing Your Message to Life

A workshop co-sponsored by the Washington Area Library Trainers (WALT) and
the Washington State Library; presented by Guila Muir

Involving! Interactive! Persuasive! Thought-Provoking! Informative!
When presenting to a live audience, do you want to inspire these
compliments?
Learn how to plan and deliver an effective and engaging presentation.
Discover and enhance your own personal presentation style. You'll come away
with tips on how to involve your audience, use pacing and tone effectively,
tailor content to time, anticipate room and equipment needs, and handle any
problems that develop. Observe experienced trainer Guila Muir in action and
come away with lots of ideas for your own Five Star Presentations!

Target Audience: Anyone who does presentations - for conferences, staff
training or library user instruction, a speech to a local chamber of
commerce or PTA, or school visits.

MEETINGS THAT WORK!
The Art of Facilitation

A workshop co-sponsored by the Washington Area Library Trainers (WALT) and
the Washington State Library; presented by Guila Muir

"Great meeting! I can't believe how much we accomplished!"
How often do you leave a meeting thinking that?!
Learn how to focus group dialogue, making your meetings more productive.
Learn what is meant by the "facilitator frame of mind;" and understand when
using a facilitator is appropriate. Write an outcome-based agenda that can
be used immediately. You'll learn (and demonstrate!) essential facilitator
skills and unique question types that will help you focus a conversation,
and you'll be able to respond
effectively to difficult or conflictive group dynamics.

Target Audience: Anyone who attends meetings!
