Stress Management Workshop
Librarians often work under a lot of stress, and so it was not surprising that an impressive 85 members felt the need to get away from the rat-race and learn some coping skills. The SAOUG end-of-the-year function was very successful, and participants practised humour therapy while becoming aware of ways to take charge of our responses to stressful situations.
Gavin Novis is an excellent and very entertaining speaker, and even though, as Glenda remarked, much of what he covered belongs to “common sense”, he managed to present his material in a both interesting and thought-provoking manner. Thank you for that! I believe most of us came away with a positive charge. For those members who had to miss this event, Gavin’s slides will get posted on the SAOUG website.
Foxwood House proved to be a very special venue, although not easy to find for some of us. The rain prevented much exploration of the delights of the garden, but what we did experience fitted well with the theme of the day. The lunch was good and made many of us stay on for extended relaxed socialising.
