LEARNING TOGETHER FROM AUTHORS AND EACH OTHER

ICF NYC Book Club meetings are lively, interactive discussions where coaches from a diverse range of specializations and professional experiences share examples from their coaching practice and learn together.

The book’s content provides the monthly frame to share personal examples, challenge one another, seek guidance and workshop scenarios, and more.

• Typical discussion prompts may include:
• What relevant example might you want to share from your own coaching work?
• What aspect of the story did you most relate to?
• What did you like best about this book?
• Share a favorite quote from the book. Why did this quote stand out?
• What feelings did this book evoke for you?
• What did you learn from reading this book?
• What new questions do you now have about this subject after reading this book?
• What surprised you about this book or the subject?
• And, from there, each meeting delves into rich peer discussion and learning around the book’s themes (or attendees’ interests).

ICF NYC Book Club is a benefit for chapter members. There is no charge to attend, and participation earns 1 CCEU (type to be confirmed, typically a mix of Core Competency and Resource Development).

About the ICF NYC Book Club

The ICF NYC Book Club is an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into their learning from the book and to share highlights from what they read, implications for their coaching practice, and more. Book club meetings are not book previews or presentations and active participation and contribution is expected from all attendees.

Come having read the book - in at least part if not full. Our Book Club meetings are lively, interactive discussions where attendees share highlights and key learnings from the month’s book, raise questions or points of disagreement, and share with each other potential applications for or experiences from their coaching practice. On the occasion when we are lucky enough to have an author join, we gain from their added perspective, but our Book Club meetings are joint learning and not presentations.

ICF NYC Breakfast and a Book Club is a benefit for chapter members. There is no charge to chapter members to attend, and participation earns 1 CCEU (type to be confirmed, typically a mix of Core Competency and Resource Development).

Meeting Guidelines:

The ICF NYC Book Club is an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into their learning through conversation with their peers. Book club meetings are not book previews or presentations. Active participation and contribution is expected from all attendees.

Meeting Guidelines:

Out of respect for our facilitator and other attendees, you are expected to have read the book, or at a minimum, significant portions of it, prior to attending so that meaning, intent and application may be discussed with depth. Familiarity with the content enables a much more meaningful exchange and conversation.

As with any virtual call, please be prepared to have your video and audio on, with limited distraction. Turn off all notifications.

In order to receive CCEU credit, you must be present and actively participate.

Come in your pajamas! We don’t care about how you look or if you’re munching, only the intellectual contribution you bring.

Meetings will be held consistently on the second Monday of each month at 8 AM (except where may be otherwise indicated).

About The Book

Title: When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

Author: Daniel H. Pink

Publication Date: 2018

Description:

Timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art; in When, Pink shows that timing is in fact a science.

Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? When should you have your first coffee of the day? Why is singing in time with other people as good for us as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In When, Pink distills cutting edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
