Registration for the PSI Book Club will close on Friday 17th September, with the programme's first cohort running for a span of 3 months.
Who is this intended for & what is the benefit of attending? The Book Club is for PSI Members to discuss and practice learnings from a wide range of books relevant to their role and network with colleagues from the industry. Facilitators will also have an opportunity to lead and chair discussions
Overview
PSI are starting a book club! We will be reading and discussing non-technical books which are relevant to our roles. Participants will be split into smaller discussion groups so members can network with each other and practice exercises to help implement their learnings. We are also looking for facilitators who will be leading the discussion groups. Facilitators will be provided guidance on how to run the group discussions and there will be a Q&A session at the beginning for any questions that may arise. Make sure to indicate on the registration form if you are interested!
Registration
Registration for the Book Club is free, and is open to Members of PSI only.
