Don't have time to read a book? No problem! Review of the month's source materials is invited but not required!
CONCEPT OF THE "BOOK" CLUB: This 75-minute monthly occurrence, hosted by Move Mountains, is a fun and social gathering for people to connect and learn. Each month, we'll select a recent impactful book, article, video, documentary, Podcast episode or Ted Talk that is connected to the Mindful Leadership of our lives and workplaces. You'll be informed about the selection ahead of time, and you can choose to read, listen or watch it ahead of the gathering - BUT you don't have to! We'll present a synopsis and curated summary of the main ideas, and then build a discussion based around those concepts and key questions.
