Library workers at BLC member institutions are eligible for a 15% discount on select program offerings from DeEtta Jones & Associates (DJA), the nationally-recognized consulting and training organization focused on equity-centered leadership, organizational development, and workplace culture in libraries and higher education.
Participants will experience DJA’s distinctive approach to leadership development: not as isolated theory or one-time training, but as practical learning rooted in the real interpersonal and organizational dynamics people are navigating every day.
What happens in the moment when a manager needs to address a difficult interaction, offer feedback, communicate a change, or respond to someone who is struggling—all while carrying their own pressure, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion? This session will explore the complexity being experienced by people who work in libraries, often trying to balance accountability, empathy, open communication, care for colleagues, performance expectations, and institutional responsibility—all at the same time.
Join this information session to learn more about DJA’s leadership development philosophy and the opportunities available to BLC members. The session will include an interactive exploration of a common workplace scenario and an introduction to DJA’s leadership development offerings available to library workers at BLC member institutions at a 15% discounted rate.
