Event Name:
Responding to Uncomfortable Situations in the Library Setting


Competency:
Customer Service and Communication

Description:
Many times we are caught off-guard by inappropriate comments and aren’t prepared to respond in the moment. In this session, we provide simple responses for common scenarios, that prepare you to curtail the behavior and make it clear that what is happening is not ok. Learning Objectives:
  • Participants will learn how to identify different types of harassment.
  • Participants will become empowered to speak up when faced with an uncomfortable situation.
  • Participants will leave with several statements they can use in future conversations.
