  BRIEF DESCRIPTION

  
  

  Get ready to inspire others through Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering. Let’s connect with other Dallas ATD members and discuss this month’s book over a hot cup of Joe! Once a quarter, we will meet to discuss a new book related to Talent Development.

  ABOUT THE BOOK

  
  

  From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond.

  
  

  In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play.

  
  

  Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience.

  
  

  The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

  ABOUT THE BOOK

  
  

  Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple story about doing well under the stress and uncertainty of rapid change. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard Business School’s John Kotter, it can help you and your colleagues thrive during tough times.

  
  

  On an iceberg near the coast of Antarctica, group of beautiful emperor pen­guins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home—and almost no one listens to him.

   
  The characters in the story—Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo—are like people you probably recognize in your own organization, including yourself. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, seemingly intractable obstacles and clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. The penguins offer an inspiring model as we all struggle to adapt to new circumstances.
   
  Our Iceberg Is Melting is based on John Kotter's pioneer­ing research into the eight steps that can produce needed change in any sort of group. After finishing the story, you'll have a powerful framework for influencing your own team, no matter how big or small.

  Digital Body Language by Erica Dhawan

  
  

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION

  
  

  Get ready to inspire others through Erica Dhawan’s book, Digital Body Language. Let’s connect with other Dallas ATD members and discuss this month’s book over a hot cup of Joe! Once a quarter, we will meet to discuss a new book related to Talent Development.

  
  

  During our chats, be prepared to talk about key insights, how you can apply those concepts, and the impact it will make on you. As always, the first two people to arrive in person will receive a MudLeaf Coffee gift card!

  
  

  Ways to obtain the book:

  • Kindle/Audible and Amazon Hardcover
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Local Public Library (examples):
  • Dallas Public Library - OverDrive
  • Plano Public Library System - OverDrive

  
  

  ABOUT THE BOOK

  
  

  The definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world.

  
  

  Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of “oops sorry no you go” and “can you hear me?!” Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can’t make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other?

  
  

  Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible -- or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails.

  
  

  Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges―from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls―and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever-changing world.
