The CliffsNotes Book Club

To register, simply click on the registration button under the books for the sessions you'd like to attend. 

Do you want to keep up with the latest research and trends in leadership but don't have the time to read the books? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
The CliffsNotes Book Club is a monthly book club where a guest facilitator each month reviews a current leadership book and discusses the latest research. The best part is that you're not expected to have read the book! We'll do the heavy lifting for you and provide a summary of the key points to spark discussion. We meet on Zoom on the second Wednesday of every month (from 12pm-1:30pm US EST). Check out the books and summaries below to get a sense of the topics we cover. Simply register for the events you'd like to attend. Hope to see you at the next session.
