Are you interested in new ideas to grow and develop yourself and your business?
Join us for the next Chamber Business Book Club on 21 May. It’s for people who love to learn, want to get new perspectives on business and personal development – and would also like to meet other like-minded individuals.
The book we’re reading for the May book club is Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.
A third of the population are introverts, so chances are you either work with or know someone who is an introvert, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as a negative. In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts while giving them the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths. She show’s us that some of the worlds most important theories, or inventions, have come from the minds of introverts.
In our business worlds, where diversity and inclusion are top of the priority list for businesses large and small, this book is a must read for anyone, introverted or otherwise, who wants to understand more about the strengths and value that introverts bring to work and society as a whole.
So grab yourself a drink, get comfortable and join us online for an hour and a half of thought-provoking book and business chat.
About the event
Amy Lishman, Head of Member Engagement, facilitates the discussion and shares prompts and questions about the themes and topics for you to reflect upon. Hosted on Zoom, the Chamber Book Club happens every three months.
We’ll send you a synopsis of the book a couple of weeks in advance, to get you thinking about what you might contribute on the night.
You can buy the book from any good retailer. City Books has an excellent selection of business books. You can buy over the phone from them or online through https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/city-books Bookshop.org is an online bookshop that supports independent bookshops.
You do not need to have come to the previous Book Clubs to attend.
Being part of the Business Book Club will get you delving into that pile of books – and introduce you to new titles that are not yet on your reading list.
