Descriptions for each session are listed below:

Dare to Lead

October 17, 2023

In book study format, participants will discover and discuss in whole group and small team discussions ideas on how to build courage in the workplace.  Renowned research professor Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying courage and vulnerability.  She has found that both leaders and teams face serious problems in their ability to display vulnerability at work; instead, they sabotage themselves, killing innovation and creativity.  In this book she discusses owning your fears, choosing courage over comfort, whole hearts over armor, and building an organizational culture based on bravery.  

A few weeks prior to the session, you will be receiving the book, Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, to prepare for your participation.  

The Speed of Trust

December 6, 2023

Trust is more relevant now than ever before—it is truly the new currency of our society. In The Speed of Trust, Stephen M. R. Covey, widely known as one of the world’s leading authorities on trust, asserts that it is “the most overlooked, misunderstood, underutilized asset to enable performance. Its impact, for good or bad, is dramatic and pervasive. It’s something you can’t escape.” Thankfully, it’s also the thing that can dramatically improve your personal and professional success.  In book-study format, participants will discuss in small teams how trust functions in every transaction and every relationship—from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction—and will be inspired to improve in this area for greater effectiveness as a leader.  

A few weeks prior to the session, you will be receiving the book, The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey, to prepare for your participation.  

Start with Why

February 29, 2024

In book-study format, participants will discover and discuss success in small teams.  The author, Simon Sinek, focuses simply on Why.   Why do some people reach success while others do not? Why do some groups manage to team-up and endure challenges, thus succeeding, while others fail to do so? What is it that makes some people different from others when it comes to achieving success? Sinek uses many real-life examples to show how different people and organizations have managed to succeed. In using these examples, Sinek shows readers that if others can succeed, so can we. 

A few weeks prior to the session, you will be receiving the book, Start With Why by Simon Sinek, to prepare for your participation.
