Most Read This Week In Growth Mindset

[close] It is said that "Leaders are always readers" and in our busy academic life we barely have time to open anything other than the textbook and feel guilty if we do. Thus, here it is our goal to encourage one another to read daily; be it one sentence, one paragraph or one page.. FIRST GOAL). To become leaders we must be well-rounded and multi-dimentional in our understanding of the past and present (time and space). Thus to build upon the shoulders of those who put the pen to paper.. who knows you might be one of them one day.. SECOND GOAL Finally, reading alone is only part of the journey, it is in remembering and sharing that one develops true understanding. Thus write a few words expressing what you have learnt, realized, thought of or imagined. THIRD GOAL with respect.. “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”George R.R. Martin

[close] Our intimate group of friends meets virtually each month to discuss big ideas; both new and classic, surrounding growth-personal, professional, community, organizational and more.

[close] I'm set on reading at least one business book a month - join me for a chat!

[close] Hi Everyone, I know that we are all so busy with our work, families, pursuing our interests, etc, but I thought I would start this group through Goodreads so that as lifelong learners, we have a place to explore some reading material together, promote conversations among our learning community, perhaps learn some new ideas and develop greater connections! Please feel free to suggest titles as we move through the rhythm of our school year. Our first book is The Innovator's Mindset:Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity by George Couros. I chose this book to kick us off because I think it communicates a great, positive message for us all as we start the year (some of us are going to be able to hear George Couros speak at the end of this month). The book can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss... I also have a few copies to loan out. Let me know if you would like one! I'll take the lead on posting some discussion prompts once every week and each member will be able to do the same. We will plan one in person gathering during each book cycle. If you have already read the book, please consider joining the group so that you can watch, read along and/or participate in our discussion. I hope to add a new book every six weeks or so. If you can't join this time, look for more opportunities throughout the year ~ let's try something new! Thank you!! Jackie
