This hands on workshop covers key social media platforms, how they work and how to use them effectively. You’ll discuss building social media networks, increasing your following and increasing engagement, as well as managing multiple social media platforms and measuring and analysing impact.
By the end of the course you will be able to:
- Use social media more strategically, in conjunction with your other marketing
- Understand and learn from statistics and analytics
- Make use of relevant social media tools and techniques to help your organisation increase engagement online
- Discern the different roles and areas of overlap between the various social media platforms
Everything in this training is designed to be applicable right away; this is not a workshop about the technologies of tomorrow, but rather things you can do the very next day.

Leading and Motivating Through Change with Di Edmonds
Tuesday 1st July 2025 10:00-13:00
Online
What do we need of a leader to navigate a team through the constantly changing landscape of Libraries and Information Services (in all sectors)? Agility, empathy, resilience and an inspirational approach will help enormously. This workshop isn’t about providing simplistic answers. It offers an opportunity to share experiences and explore valuable tools and techniques for communicating and motivating during rapidly changing and sometimes stressful times.
As a result of this training, you will be able to:
- Recognise & understand responses to change
- Provide direction & communicate changes in a clear and constructive way
- Gain commitment to change by involving staff
- Identify actions you can take to support and motivate people through change
During the workshop, each participant will prepare and practise delivering a ‘change’ communication as well as initiating a plan for forthcoming changes.
The workshop costs £65.71 for LIEM members or £92.80 for Non LIEM members.
