<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">For any of you who are considering participating but may be still on the fence, I stand by the Harwood training. You and your staff members will be trained on outward thinking and engagement and given a template to make it easier, if it doesn't come naturally. The exercises will get you, staff and your library out in the face of the community as an engaged, compassionate and empowered leader. If that is not enough, you, staff and your library will make wonderful partnerships to move your library forward for years to come.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">As a very wise woman once said to me, "I will GUARANTEE success if you follow the program".
