Our first “Book Club” delivered so much more!

After a truly insightful first “Book Club”, which within the first 5 minutes we renamed as a “Learning Hub”, we must say a huge THANK YOU to Gary Simpson for so much rich content and insights into:

• why we learn;
• why learning is so good for us;
• how we can learn, now just from reading a book.

The 45-minute session is available to watch on our YouTube channel LinkedIn Live
