I talked with Lorene Kennard at the Librarian Linkover podcast again earlier this month! This time, we focused on how working with a coach can support your growth as a leader.

Some of the topics we talked about included:

• Differences between coaching and other forms of professional support
• Why you need this support now more than ever
• One coaching exercise that you can try out on your own
• And what suggestions I have for librarians who are considering starting their own business

I joined Jennifer Askey at the Mindful Academy podcast to talk about leadership coaching and the overlap between libraries and higher ed.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why leadership is a skill you must develop, not something you’re born with.
• How “vocational awe” contributes to burnout in higher ed.
• Practical ways coaching skills help leaders navigate change and conflict.
• Why leading with curiosity fosters trust, collaboration, and resilience.

I joined Emily Weak at the Hiring Librarians podcast in August to talk about how libraries can do a better job of setting new leaders up for success. And how you can set yourself up for success in a new role, if your new library doesn’t provide all of the support you need. We talked about:

• what coaching is and how it compares to other forms of support
• what’s the difference between leadership and management
• what organizations need to do to set up new leadership hires for success
• and more!
