Spectrum Institute Day 1
The first day of the Spectrum Institute has been awesome. It’s such an inspiration to hear about the cool things that other students are doing, and the great support that’s available. We had an ice breaker game this afternoon called Spectrum Bingo, where everyone had a list of attributes in squares and we were supposed to go around and find people who had those attributes then have them sign the block. Each person could only be on your sheet once, and you couldn’t sign your own. I signed most for “Doesn’t own a car”, but also for having visited the space needle, milked a cow, been to Hawaii, and marched in a parade.
In the opening session, a variety of speakers welcomed us and talked to us about getting involved in ALA and associations, including the current CLA president, the current and next ALA presidents, and the ALA executive director. We had a tasty dinner (the sesame shrimp were quite lovely) and then another session focused on success and moving up in the profession. The common thread seemed to be that you need to know yourself, so that you can know how to translate the skills you have into the job or promotion that you want. Also, that you should strip out the negative talk about yourself and instead think of ways to brag (but not in an arrogant way).
Here are some of the recommended readings:
Managing Oneself by Peter Drucker
Brag! : the art of tooting your own horn without blowing it by Peggy Klaus
Now, discover your strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton
After the panel, Wendy shared with us her path to the job she has, and it’s so great to hear about the impact she’s had and the work that she’s done to help people become librarians who can, in turn, help others. Thanks so much for the work you do, Wendy! And thanks to everyone who has spent so much time putting the Institute together, because it’s been great so far.
