*You do NOT need to read the book to attend. You, your ideas, and your experiences are enough.
In Work-Life Bloom, Dan Pontefract offers a fresh take on balancing the pressures of work and life without burning out. He introduces the idea of “blooming” in both areas by aligning your purpose, relationships, and well-being, so you can thrive professionally and personally.
For Learning and Development professionals, this book sparks new ideas on fostering a work culture where employees don’t just survive, but truly bloom. If you’re ready to rethink how work and life can flow together more seamlessly, this one’s a must-discuss book!
Join us! We want to hear your perspective, and welcome you whether you’ve read the book, skimmed the book, read the chapters that interest you, read a summary, watched a YouTube summary, watched an interview with Dan Pontefract, or want to learn from your peers and share your experience. You are welcome!
ATD Book Banter meets bi-monthly on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Club meetings will last 90 minutes and start at 11:30 AM with time for virtual networking.
We believe learning and growing together is fun. In the sessions we will talk about the book, ideas in the book, and how those ideas apply to our work and lives.
Our discussion on Pontefract’s book Work-Life Bloom is sure to re-shape your thinking on work-life balance, and leave you with ideas to talk about, and tools to try. Hope to see you there.
