Last quarter the discussion was so rich we thought, why not open this up to the World at Large (or at least, our EE365 Women in STEM readers).

Admittedly, I&#39;m playing catch up myself. 1/4 the way in and finding it inspiring and actionable. I look forward to moderating this part of the discussion next week. :)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/14072?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 Feb 2017 17:24:27 GMTcd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:639df34d-709c-4791-bf88-ee25c1b50fecSandra CookeI am reading Hidden Figures and I am having the same experience. More facts - not so much story telling. I am going to miss the call on Wednesday due to a customer event. :(<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/14071?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:15:09 GMTcd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:0b124e7a-5541-45e1-9239-311538facb19jocelyn sextonI wanted to remind y’all of the upcoming Virtual Book Club and check-in to see if anyone had any questions or comments.<br /> <br /> I’m in the midst of listening to Hidden Figures on Audible. And if I’m being completely honest… I’m pretty bored by it!  <br /> <br /> The books is 10 hours and 47 minutes, and I have 4 hours and 38 minutes remaining (it says I’m on Chapter 13 of 25). But it is a struggle trying to get through it — it’s very dense with a LOT of names being talked about. I was expecting more of a “story,” and instead, I feel like I’m just getting a lot of information about a lot of different people. I hear the movie is great though… has anyone seen it? And if you’ve read the book — does it get better in the second half?<br /> <br /> I look forward to chatting with everyone on EE365 next Wednesday.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/13941?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 30 Jan 2017 19:56:02 GMTcd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:d385d8a5-c327-423a-a023-3dda50f34617Rachelle McWrightThanks to everyone who voted in the poll and/or Liked our post to request an invitation to the Virtual Book club!

Let&#39;s plan to discuss two selections here on EE365: <br /> • “Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race” by Margot Lee Shetterly<br /> • &quot;Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One&quot; by Jenny Blake <br /> <br /> We&#39;ll host the Virtual Book Club on Wednesday, March 1, at noon CST.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/13906?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 17 Jan 2017 18:55:53 GMTcd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:e334d7d4-10a8-444c-9045-ff0cd443b5ccRachelle McWright<p>Hi Martha Arjona, Last quarter we discussed 3 books (attendees had the option to read one or more):</p> <ul> <li>The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance &mdash; What Women Should Know</li> <li>Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life</li> <li>Boundaries: When To Say Yes, How to Say No</li> </ul> <p>For purposes of the Virtual Book Club, we will likely offer 2 titles iniatially (and 2 discussions at @30 minutes each).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/13905?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 17 Jan 2017 18:51:12 GMTcd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:d32dd409-127c-4b35-b8ad-32772a93ed8fRachelle McWrightYikes!
