Every consulting engagement is customized to the library's needs. Whether you need a defined project, a sounding board for a difficult situation, or ongoing leadership support, OWL Professional Solutions can help.
Practical advice. Experienced perspective. A partner who understands libraries.
A strong relationship between a library director and board is essential to an effective library. OWL can help directors and boards strengthen communication, clarify roles and expectations, navigate challenging situations, and build a productive governance partnership focused on the library's mission and community.
Board Relations & Governance
Library building projects are complex, expensive, and highly visible. OWL can provide an experienced library perspective throughout the process, from early planning and programming through community engagement, project decision-making, and working with architects, city officials, consultants, and other partners.
Building Project Consultation
Stepping into a library director role is exciting—and can be overwhelming. OWL provides confidential, practical guidance to new directors as they navigate their first months and years in leadership. Support can include understanding board relationships and expectations, assessing organizational culture, establishing priorities, managing staff and community relationships, working with local government, and developing a leadership approach that is authentic to you. Whether you need a sounding board for a difficult situation or a trusted partner as you find your footing, OWL can help you lead with greater confidence.
New Director Guidance
Support for library professionals who are ready to take the next step in their careers—or simply want a thought partner as they navigate leadership challenges. Coaching can include career planning, leadership development, navigating workplace challenges, preparing for difficult conversations, and building confidence as a library leader.
Career & Leadership Coaching
Turn ideas and community needs into a clear, actionable direction. OWL can help libraries assess where they are, identify priorities, engage staff and stakeholders, and develop a strategic plan that is realistic, meaningful, and achievable. Working with a team that includes communications and data experts, OWL promises a new approach to strategic planning.
Strategic Planning
OWL Professional Solutions brings over 30 years of public library leadership experience to more than just the interview process. From strategic planning and building projects to career coaching, new director guidance, and board relations, OWL provides practical, customized consulting for libraries and library professionals who need an experienced perspective, a strategic partner, or simply someone who understands the unique challenges of public library leadership.
Coaching from Someone Who's Been on the Other Side of the Interview Table
Anyone can find interview tips online. What you can't find is the perspective that comes from decades of leading organizations, hiring exceptional talent, and making difficult hiring decisions.
As a former executive leader, Megan has interviewed hundreds of candidates—from entry-level professionals to senior executives. She understands what hiring managers are really looking for and how candidates can communicate their experience in a way that is authentic, memorable, and impactful.
Every coaching session is personalized to your goals, your experience, and the opportunity you're pursuing. You'll receive honest feedback, practical strategies, and thoughtful guidance designed to help you tell your story with clarity and confidence.
This isn't about memorizing the "right" answers. It's about understanding how to communicate your leadership, accomplishments, and value in a way that feels natural, genuine, and compelling—so you leave a lasting impression long after the interview ends.
Do I need to have an interview already scheduled?
Not at all. Coaching can help you prepare before you begin applying or while actively searching for your next opportunity.
Do you only work with librarians?
While Megan specializes in coaching librarians and public sector professionals, interview coaching is valuable for anyone looking to improve their interview skills.
Are sessions virtual?
Yes. All coaching sessions are conducted online, making it easy to work together no matter where you're located.
Will we practice real interview questions?
Absolutely. Sessions include personalized practice questions based on the position you're pursuing, along with honest feedback and practical coaching.
You already have the experience and qualifications. Together, we'll make sure your interview reflects them.
Whether you're preparing for your next opportunity, pursuing a promotion, or stepping into a leadership role, personalized interview coaching can help you approach your interview with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
