Description:

Join us for the popular discussion and networking group: the L&D Philly Book Club!

Each meeting of the book club will provide an opportunity for us to come together as a community of L&D professionals to discuss a book from a member of our extended community to aid in our personal development.

This club has 3 rules:

1. Read the book prior to the meeting (or at least MOST of it).
2. Come to the meeting prepared to discuss the book.
3. Be on screen, so others can see and hear them. 

This time we will be discussing "Harnessing the Power of Group Intelligence to Create Meaningful and Lasting Change" by Siobhan McHale.

Be sure to read the book before November 19! 

It is available for purchase at https://www.amazon.com/Hive-Mind-Work-Harnessing-Intelligence/dp/1400246229/
