Meeting Format/ Agenda

When everyone arrives, we write down the books we are reading on a flip chart.

We'll start with some informal discussions and networking. Get to know each other - both the businesses and the people within them.

Briefly go round the room, and introduce yourself, your business and the books you are currently reading.

Even if everyone already knows you - it's always great to have a reminder about each persons businesses and what you do!

Don't worry if you are not currently reading a book - perhaps mention a book you have recently read, or ask for a book recommendation instead?

Discuss any books you are currently or recently read in more detail, for example...

• Your thoughts on the book.

• How those books have helped your business.

• What you have learned.

• New ideas you have discovered.

• Goals you have set as a result.

We may invite a guest speaker to our meetings to do a talk or presentation - or invite an author to come along and talk about their book.

These will be advertised beforehand, and the talk will normally take place after everyone has introduced themselves.

In addition to the talk, there will normally be an opportunity to ask the guest speaker any questions.

We'll end the meeting with further networking and discussions - these don't just have to be book related!

For example - is there anything you are looking for help with in your business at the moment? Any topics you'd like to discuss? Looking for any introductions?
