  The Cliff Note Book Club  - Event Series for 2021

  
  

  Description: The Cliff Note Book Club is a monthly book club where a guest facilitator each month reviews a current leadership book and discusses the latest research. The best part is that you're not expected to have read the book as a summary of the key points will be provided to participants to spark discussion.

  
  

  This event series will be replacing the CBODN In The Know Book Discussion events and will still led by our partner Laura Mendelow. The sessions will compromise interactive discussions around the key principles and applications of the different books selected per month.

  Developing Your Appreciative Intelligence® for Well-Being

  Appreciative Intelligence® is the ability to reframe and see the generative potential in a challenging situation and to engage in purposive action to transform the potential to positive outcomes.  Most of our leaders today are engaged in continuous problem solving and crisis management. Over a period, the firefighting mind-set traps them to a path of a single-trajectory deficit mindset.  As leaders they end up spending most of their time attending to what is missing and what is wrong. This session will help the audience cultivate a sense of wellbeing by developing their Appreciative Intelligence®.  They will learn a few tools that they can use to reframe typical challenges in their organizational context and sharpen their well-being capabilities.
