This is part 3 of the Core Forum Webinar Series on Leadership & Management, a four-part webinar series that highlights a variety of topics including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), strategies for addressing certain staff issues, peer mentoring and midcareer development, and how to establish a culture of sustainable assessment. Originally part of the cancelled Core Forum, the presentations are geared toward library workers in leadership and management positions. Core members and non-members are welcome to attend.
Description: In our presentation PeMento’s four co-founders will discuss the development, delivery, and outcomes of our independent peer mentoring and professional development program for mid-career library workers, PeMento. PeMento is an unapologetically improvisational and experimental 7-week program inspired by mutual aid principles and created with design thinking practices. Open to anyone who identifies as mid-career in libraries, the program’s initial cohort of 80 participants all helped co-create a professional development experience unlike any other in libraries. Independent of any association or organizational agenda, PeMento presented the provocative and timely opportunity for mid-career library workers to give one another what they need in terms of reflection, direction, and connection.
Learning Outcomes:
Attendees will learn about:
- using a design thinking process to rapidly prototype a program;
- community building and engagement, including development of our Code of Conduct and Expectations for Participation; and
- scaffolding engagement and reflective practice with intentionally designed teams, prompts, tools, and worksheets.
Who Should Attend: Mid-career library workers interested in connecting to help one another, solve one another’s problems, and build a new kind of professional network that is more open, kinder, braver, and more powerful.
