How Empower supports every stage of a library career
"The most helpful online training I’ve done in years."
This was an amazing training session. It was my second with Helen and it led me to recommend that we sign up our department for an Empower membership. In general, I hate 'manager' training. I find a lot of it wishy washy and vague. Hardly helpful or worth the time. This training had a lot of "aha" moments and the interactions with Helen and the other presenters really made it useful. Probably the most helpful online training I've done in years. - KL
"A workshop full of real examples that spark genuine reflection"
"I found the session really practical and helpful. It reminded me to use reflective questions rather than jumping straight into solutions, while also recognising that sometimes I’ll need to flex this. I’m planning to bring more coaching questions into my meetings, and I’ll be reviewing the materials again. The examples and the workbook made it a genuinely useful workshop that encouraged real reflection and action."
"Empower keeps you connected—across careers, countries, and conversations."
Since leaving libraries to pursue freelance options, joining Empower has enabled me to still be part of a supportive library community. I've enjoyed networking with lots of different people at different stages of their careers both here in the UK and the States. This has also benefited my Continuing Professional Development alongside attending a variety of library training on different topics from Writing for Publication to AI. - KP
"The session I didn’t know I needed."
This session was genuinely uplifting for me, and I really appreciated having the space to share my thoughts. It was exactly what I needed today - GO
