Read More, Make More!
I read 3-4 books per month and many of those focus on leadership or business topics that can be put to use at work. Since I often lead discussions on these same books, I would consider this professional development. It is something that has made a difference!
The EXCEL Leadership program in Greene County included a book discussion component. So I get asked a lot about what a book discussion or regular reading is important.
Book clubs can grow and improve your professional network. But there are two other strong reasons"
1. Advance Your Career: A book club can enhance your career on two fronts. First, the books you read may make you more effective in areas critical to success like leadership, communication and productivity. Second, the network you'll be building may help you with career advice, introduce you to new people and find your next job.
2. Reading is Good for You: Did you know business people who read at least seven business books per year earn over 230% more than people who read just one book per year?1 Reading improves your intelligence, reasoning ability, and has been linked to reducing the chance of Alzheimer's.
Joining our EXCEL Leadership book club gives you the opportunity to read more and enjoy all the benefits that come with it.
