Presentation Description

Description of Topic/Presentation:

At this event, we all will discuss the book under selection, “The 15 Invaluabe Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential” by John C. Maxwell. Through reading this book, we will learn how everybody has the potential to live a meaningful, fulfilling life, but in a world teeming with possibilities, it can be hard to figure out how exactly you’re going to accomplish that. John C. Maxwell believes that if you want to live meaningfully and transform into your highest self, you have to pursue personal growth. In The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, Maxwell—a pastor and personal growth expert—offers directions to help you navigate the journey of personal growth more smoothly. In our book club discussion, we will cover these elements that strengthen and grow character in order for us all to become better leaders and project managers in our projects and our organizations.
