Get Smart! Business Book Discussion Group - in collaboration with Worthington Libraries

Join us for The Get Smart! Business Book Club,
a Chamber partnership with Worthington Libraries.
Discussions about business books are held quarterly at varying Chamber-member businesses, offering professional education and networking opportunities to area business persons and library patrons. There is no charge to attend. Refreshments are provided by the Friends Foundation of Worthington Libraries and the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce. At many locations, beverages are also available for purchase.
The next Get Smart Book Discussion will be held on

Wednesday, Jan. 23,
at La Chatelaine,
627 High St., Worthington.

Parking is available behind the restaurant (accessible from West New England Avenue), on the street and in the municipal lots on East and West New England Avenues).
The session begins at 5:30 (with a half-hour networking period). Book discussion is held from 6 to 7 p.m.
This quarter, the group will discuss non-verbal communication. The book selection is: "You Say More Than You Think: A 7-Day Plan for Using the New Body Language to Get What You Want" by Janine Driver.
(Review fromPublishers Weekly) A former body-language specialist with the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Driver has put her life on the line more times than she can count, depending on her understanding of body language-how to read it and how to use it to survive. Now a professional body-language trainer, Driver puts her lessons to paper with straightforward prose and easy-to-use methodology, intended to help readers break bad habits, overcome misleading assumptions, avoid blind spots, and project the kind of confidence they need for successful communication and/or negotiation. Offering a number of tips across a range of settings (business, romance, courtroom, etc.), Driver's advice will give readers immediate, effective results, such as a step-by-step guide to "Active Listening Head Moves": "Now try the head tilt with the double nod. Did the person speed up the conversation?" Sound examples (many drawn from her professional adventures), revealing exercises and self-tests, and a game sense of humor keep Driver's considerable expertise from overwhelming readers, making this an enjoyable and highly practical self-help.
