Take Your Brain to Lunch

With the increasing demands on business professionals today, one of the most frequent areas of unintentional neglect is keeping abreast of the most current business literature. This is particularly true for today’s women with their many responsibilities for family, career, and household.  Life seems to end up in tiny time slices with seldom enough time to read a whole book.

Now, there’s no longer a need because we deliver the content without having to read the book! This event was designed for anyone interested in knowing the latest information in current business books, particularly those focused on topics most interesting to today’s professional woman. We offer:

• Time for networking
• Book synopsis on two relevant business books
• Facilitated table group discussions to explore key ideas that might be put to work now
• Lunch
• Prizes

All of this, in a friendly, warm environment that is hosted at the Park City Club.

The book synopses, delivered by professional speakers, Randy Mayeux and Dr. Karl Krayer, include a thorough and concise summary of the books, accompanied by a handout with the most important concepts, ideas and notable quotes.

The synopses offer the following advantages:

• You can pretend you’ve read the books when talking to others.
• You can make an informed decision on whether or not these books are deserving of your time and money.
• You can continue learning and gaining new ideas in a fun, engaging way with others.
