Note*** Unlike most SWON workshops, this one has a prerequisite. Each attendee must have taken the StrengthsFinder assessment. <strong>Enrollees will be given an access code for the assessment. </strong>The assessment can be taken in less than 45 minutes. If you have already taken the assessment, please let us know so that the code can be used by someone who has not. With the additional expense of providing the assessment, your courtesy in attending is greatly appreciated!</font></span></p>

And what could it do differently to grow stronger when things seem like their spinning out of control? Arguably, the whole idea of libraries, particularly public libraries, is inherently one of antifragility. Change, uncertainty, and chaos are conditions organizations usually dislike and try to avoid. Yet, in his book <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3189102&ymlink=190113545&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmile%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2F0812979680%2F%3Ftag%3Dswli04%2D20">Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder</a>, Nassim Taleb explains antifragility as the concept that certain things grow stronger with shock and turmoil, as opposed to fragile things, which just break down.<br />
<br />
In this informative and interactive program Kathy Zappitello and Andrew Sanderbeck will discuss 6 Key Factors in Making Your Organization ‘Antifragile” and Kathy will share the Conneaut Public Library’s specific Antifragile plan being implemented in 2018.</font></span></p>
