- Date and time
- Tuesday, 17 August 2027, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (GMT)
“If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. In Atlas of the Heart, we explore eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human and walk through a new framework for cultivating meaningful connection.”
Brené Brown

About the book club:
Our aim is to create an open learning space for leaders at all levels, who appreciate books and reading as part of their continuous leadership development. A cosy space to promote, celebrate and enhance the valuable role of books to our personal growth, self-leadership and critical thinking.
We will start the session with an introduction and summary from our team, then participants will be put into smaller groups to allow for deeper reflection and conversation.
We will be using the following format to facilitate this 1-hour session:
| Welcome and setting the scene |
| Discussion in small groups: What interested you in this book/resources? Share an insight that resonated with you Share one thing you will do or think about differently as a result? |
| Larger group discussion |
| Collating our ‘5 Leadership Bookmarks’ as a group |

Bring a cuppa, a curious mind and join us in conversation!
