This Month’s Read: The God of the Woods by Liz Moore A gripping literary thriller set in the Adirondacks, this novel begins with the mysterious disappearance of thirteen-year-old Barbara Van Laar from her family’s summer camp in August 1975. Barbara isn’t just any camper—she’s the daughter of the camp’s owners, and her vanishing echoes a tragedy from fourteen years earlier when her older brother also disappeared.

As the search unfolds, Moore weaves a rich tapestry of secrets, class tensions, and emotional depth. With praise from Stephen King and NPR, this critically acclaimed novel has been hailed as one of the best thrillers and crime novels of 2024. It’s a haunting exploration of family legacy, buried truths, and the ripple effects of loss.

What You Can Expect:

• A welcoming, relaxed atmosphere organized by a local author

• A diverse group of professionals and passionate readers

• Thoughtful discussion—whether you’ve read the book or just want to listen in

• A preview of next month’s selection

• A potluck-style gathering—please bring a sharable dish

Being an outstanding communicator is one of the most important and critical skills a professional can work to achieve. An effective communicator can help sort out the deluge of information the average person is surrounded with and impart it to others to lead, influence, and inspire.

The good news is that all these skills can be learned and practiced. Great presenters are not born. They take the time and the commitment to learn and practice them and make them their own.

The High Impact Presentations course focuses on structuring an effective presentation that builds credibility and engages your audience while clearly and persuasively conveying your message. Participants explore the optimum use of voice and gesture to create a lasting impression – as well as a variety of presentation styles, ranging from a formal speech to a casual meeting or contentious conversation.

Discover: Discover your unique strengths as a presenter and develop additional skills and professional characteristics that can push you to your next level of success as a leader in your organization.

Expect Thoroughly Trained Trainers: Psychological Safety is emphasized to create a safe place to try out new skills and ideas. The trainers are highly vetted and undergo intense training that is ISO9002 certified to achieve consistent results globally. While part of a global organization, they are connected to your local culture, customs and language. 

Expect Breakthroughs: Each time a new tool is introduced, it is practiced the ‘right’ way and coached in the moment.  Successful attempts with positive reinforcement and habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained. The group is small and encouraging which adds a supportive social learning aspect that makes the experience fun while stretching comfort zones.
