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? |
