Deeper Reading Across
Welcome!
|
The Emerge Leadership Book Circle offers individuals leaders the opportunity to read in community with others, and shift from knowing things intellectually, to integrating them more fully.
By joining our community you surround yourself with other leaders who are on a similar, yet different journey, and who are looking to books to support their development. It's more than a book club. |
By slowing down your reading and connecting with others to share better practices and gain perspectives, you will be better able to integrate the ideas. It's about moving from consuming new ideas, to connecting with yourself and others, so that you can then create new ways of living and leading.
When we gather each session we are invited to envision, connect, disagree, dream, reflect, problem-solve, support, take action, and so much more.

But wisdom is knowledge in action."

How It's NOT a Traditional Book Club
CROSSING THE THRESHOLD OF CONVICTION
Traditional book clubs don't have much structure, so there might be some rich discussion, but it remains just a discussion. My goal is to create experiential learning that moves learning from the head, to the heart and hands. |
WORKING IN THE GAP BETWEEN
CHAOS AND ORDER Some structure is necessary, but too much can actually stifle learning. The goal is for us to work in the gap between chaos and order, where true innovation and creativity occur. |
What it looks like
Unlike a traditional book club, our circles meet 4 times per book, with the aim of reading deeper and truly bringing the learning to life.
|
Each session is 90 minutes with time to connect and get present as we start, then into the emergence and experiential learning zone, and ending with a harvest of new thoughts, ideas, and next steps.

What members are saying....
"The bi-monthly meetings of the Leadership Book Circle are very well prepared, insightful, fun, engaging with a diversified and global community. Theresa's dedication to make us read deeper went beyond expectations as a virtual meeting with the author of the book we were reading was organised. Truly a fantastic and collegial experience with many insights and practical and deep exercises to put our reading into actions." ~S.F in Switzerland
"I wanted to thank you for all the energy , ideas , creativity and openness you bring to the Book Circle.
Like so many, this last period has had its challenges for me and I so enjoy being part of the group. The sessions have been very thought provoking and giving me those little nudges and readjusts that are perfect at my stage in life. So thanks for allowing me to be part of your group and being our guiding light." ~A.B. in France
"For almost a year now, I’ve had the joy to participate in Theresa's Emerge Leadership Book Circle. Not only have I learned a lot by reading the books with the other members. Theresa really inspires us to put pen to paper and walk the talk (or the book!). She knows how to create safe and joyful space for us to participate and feel like yes, there is a leader in every chair!" ~K.T in France
"Hey just a special thank you for organizing the time with David Marquet today and how we were able to talk in breakout groups. I had a great time this morning!" ~P.C. in the United States

Questions and Answers:
Are there recordings of the sessions?
Unfortunately, no. There are some exceptions, like if an author joins us and agrees to a recording.
I do not record integration sessions for these reasons:
1) I value CONNECTION and we cannot connect with each other when you are watching a recording.
2) You can't call in your leadership, so it's my way of encouraging you to SHOW UP for yourself and those you lead.
3) People are more courageous in their sharing when they aren't being recorded. (aka Psychological Safety.)
4) We often utilized break-out rooms, which can't be recorded.
How are books selected? How long do we read each book?
Books are nominated by, and voted on by the members in a democratic fashion. We read each book for 2 months, as the goal is to read deeper, not faster.
What types of books can we nominate?
I am open to anything in the realm of personal, professional, and leadership growth, knowing that there is a cross over between all of them. We can't compartmentalize our lives. I would like to avoid anything too religious or political.
What if I don't like the book selection?
If you are not inspired by the chosen book, then you can opt out of that particular book cycle, and come back when the book is more inspiring for you.
If you have other questions, please email me.

Coach and Facilitator Bio
By combining my first career in education and educational leadership, with my second career as a professional coach, I have a unique perspective when it comes to learning, development, and leadership.
I know first hand, and through the 9 years that I have been coaching and mentoring individuals around the globe, that reading alone won't change your life or your leadership. Yet, when you combine reading, with community, consistency, and coaching, you move from consuming new ideas, to making new connections, and creating new ways of living and leading.
