First-ever Montreal Business Book Club

The Montreal Business Book Club has really picked up steam. We have over 75 people in our database and each month we get a solid group of anywhere between 6 -15 people per session.
The concept is simple: one book per month with one discussion. No commitment. If you don’t like the book, don’t show up and it’s all good. You choose what you want to read and come to the discussion. What we have discovered is that you don’t need to read the book to take part in these awesome discussions.
There is no charge – just come with an open mind and some points (hopefully from the chosen book) that you care to discuss. We drink, we snack and we discuss. It’s been great. It’s been a truly inspiring and insightful peer-to-peer discussion about business, marketing, leadership, sales and strategy.
So far we’ve discussed the following books:

We’ve been going strong for over six months and if you live in the Montreal area and want more info, shoot me an email.
