PMI Maine Book Club

PMI Maine Book Club

Please join us for inaugural installment of the PMI Maine Book Club! We will be meeting virtually on Thursday June 22 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM ET.

Future installments of the PMI Maine Book Club will also take place in-person. We have lots of exciting ideas and great books to dig into!

 

We will be reading "What Got You Here, Won't Get You There" by Marshall Goldsmith. A little blurb on the book from Amazon:

America’s most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladder.

The corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of management. They’re intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle -- and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small "transactional flaws" performed by one person against another (as simple as not saying thank you enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmith’s straightforward, jargon-free advice, it’s amazingly easy behavior to change.

Executives who hire Goldsmith for one-on-one coaching pay $250,000 for the privilege. With this book, his help is available for 1/10,000th of the price.

 

What to Expect at Our First Book Club Meeting:

The goal of the book club is to learn and network! Plan to be on camera to meet your fellow PMI-Maine members and share your insights from the book. Since this is our first meeting, we will take time to solicit book recommendations for our next club meeting – so be prepared to share a book recommendation. If you don’t have time to finish the book, don’t stress, still join us for the discussion!
