SPARC Book Club - "Relationships to Infinity"
Dr. Seuss famously wrote "the more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” We invite our members to "SPARC" new ideas and knowledge through our Book Club, an opportunity to explore a variety of topics to help us individually and collectively grow in our work as leaders, visionaries and entrepreneurs. Our Book Club discussions are facilitated by Laura Kelly, CEO and Founder of The Handwork Studio/DEAN Adventure Camps and Karen McCann McClelland, Director of Auxiliary Programs at Sidwell Friends School.
Our third book for 2024 is Relationships to Infinity: The Art and Science of Keeping in Touch by Jason Levin. Auxiliary and Summer leaders are usually very outgoing and make great connections with our participants and families. However, how intentional are you about your relationships? Have you ever felt awkward wanting to reach out to a friend or colleague you haven’t spoken to in a while, so you didn’t reach out? Do you feel like your networking skills appear disingenuous but come authentically to everyone else?
Relationships to Infinity is both a social science-based and practical guide to helping you get better at keeping in touch. In Jason Levin’s debut book you will learn about the intersection of connection and reconnection. You’ll hear stories such as:
- An accomplished attorney who rekindled prior relationships to land her first public sector General Counsel role.
- An introverted CPA who built authentic relationships, allowing her to develop a real estate practice leading to an executive role within a Fortune 500 financial services company.
- An investment banker who co-founded a boutique advisory firm, using an authentic relationship-building approach.
Relationships to Infinity belongs on the bookshelf of every Director of Auxiliary or Summer Programs who wants to take a fresh approach to networking and build lasting professional relationships. Join us at 11 AM ET on Friday 10/18 - a week after the SPARC National Conference and a month before Thanksgiving break - a perfect time to reflect on building your connections from the conference and re-connecting with colleagues, friends and family over the holidays.
Bonus - the first 10 people that sign up will get a free copy of this book. Copies can be mailed directly to you or you can pick it up at the National Conference. Email Karen@SPARCNational.com once you register to let her know how you'd like to receive it!
