Michael Porter Talk: Library School As Your Ticket To Opportunity, Joy, Leadership, Learning and Relationships
Your education provides you with many things, but its most powerful magic often lies simply in the ticket it gives you.听 Happily and sometimes surprisingly, where that ticket takes you personally and professionally is actually up to you, not the whims of an employer or an organizational structure you must fit in to.听 Whether you want to travel the country or the whole world, whether you want to lead your community or your profession, whether you want to start your own company or run your local library, you are getting the ticket.
In this lively and participatory session, Michael Porter will join us to share stories, observations, inspiration and hope as you prepare to enter a work world armed with your new ticket.听 Bring your ideas and your questions and leave more energized and ready to take on your career and even more of the world.
Michael Porter is a librarian, presenter, author, and practical technology fan.听 He has worked with The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, OCLC, WebJunction, and the Allen County Public Library, and currently serves as CEO of Library Renewal, an organization dedicated to research, partnerships and grassroots support for libraries as they struggle to offer electronic content to their users in competitive ways.
