Today I attended a professional development course about being adaptable. I enjoy learning new things, especially if I think it will help me as a Teacher Librarian. Today did not disappoint. For instance, we talked about having dialogue - really listening to the opinions and ideas of others without making any decisions. This is very hard to do in our hurry-up-we-have-to-get-this-done society! We were reminded that if you are truly listening, you are not thinking about the other person's cute earrings, that they should have never worn those pants with those shoes, or the witty comeback you are going to say if they ever stop talking! No..if you are truly listening, you will just be ....listening. Stop by and talk to me so I can practice!
