VB Reads...Sharpen Your Saw: Business Book Discussion Group
Village Books, dimarts, novembre 18, 2014 a les 11am
Stephen Covey called it "Sharpening the Saw" when he wrote about it in his highly successful debut book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" back in 1990.
No matter what business or profession you have chosen the most important asset you have to preserve and develop is your mind. Staying sharp is a continuous and intentional process. It takes conscious effort to maintain a practice of renewal. We have partnered with the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce and Sustainable Connections to offer you an alternative approach to keeping your saw sharp and be part of a continuous learning community in the process.
Join us the third Tuesday of every month from 11am-1pm in the Readings Gallery of Village Books for a fast paced dialogue facilitated by Mike Cook, local business coach and faculty member at WWU. We promise you your time will be well spent and we’ll all want to know what you have learned. Authors DO NOT attend.
Book Fare Café on the mezzanine level of Village Books offers brown-box lunches for pre-order to anyone interested in having a lunch at the book discussion. Lunches are $12 and are available for ordering through BrownPaperTickets.com. Orders must be placed 24 hours prior to the meeting.

Humble Inquiry by Edgar H. Schein
Communication is essential in a healthy organization. But all too often when we interact with people—especially those who report to us—we simply tell them what we think they need to know. This shuts them down. To generate bold new ideas, to avoid disastrous mistakes, to develop agility and flexibility, we need to practice Humble Inquiry.
