Sustainable Productivity
A five-week live online productivity and time management course for library directors and managers.
Sound familiar?
You're constantly putting out fires instead of making real progress on what matters. Important tasks keep slipping through the cracks, and your email inbox feels like a black hole. That big project you're passionate about? It keeps getting pushed to "someday" while urgent (but less important) tasks take over.
Maybe you know you should delegate more, but with an understaffed team or concerns about overwhelming others, you end up doing it all yourself. And at the end of the day, work follows you home – making it nearly impossible to maintain a healthy personal life.
Step off the hustle hamster wheel.
Imagine leading your library with renewed energy and purpose, where you:
Navigate competing priorities with confidence.
Make consistent progress on strategic goals while managing daily demands.
Lead your team more effectively with clear direction and purpose.
Create sustainable systems that prevent burnout and enhance work-life balance.
Finally, have time for the innovative projects that will shape your library's future.
Master your time. Transform your library.
In just a little over a month, you'll build a customized productivity system that actually works in a library setting. We're talking practical strategies for managing those constant interruptions, staying on top of community initiatives, and still having energy left for your own professional growth.
Here’s a sneak peek of what the Sustainable Productivity program includes:
Weekly 90-minute live sessions with your cohort.
Library-specific tools and strategies you can use immediately.
A private community of supportive library leaders facing the same challenges.
Templates and guides designed specifically for library management.
Weekly office hours for personalized support.
Hey there! I’m Brandy Sanchez.
After 20+ years in libraries—including leading a team of 18 tech trainers and organizing statewide professional development programs—I've seen what actually works (and what really doesn't!) in library leadership.
As a certified leadership coach with an M.A. in Information Science and Learning Technologies, I've developed evidence-based systems specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced by library leaders.
Since founding the SoulFire Collective in 2021, I've worked with staff at more than 40 public, academic, and school libraries, helping them transition from reactive firefighting to strategic leadership.
The result? Leaders who protect their energy while amplifying their impact. Cohesive teams that operate with confidence and clear direction. Libraries that become known for innovation rather than just surviving the daily grind.
You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
