“My synopses are almost like getting your whole team to read a book together, which prompts and informs your own conversations on how to implement key lessons from the book. Lifelong learning in real time.” – Randy Mayeux

-----------------

In our 29th year of the FIRST FRIDAY BOOK SYNOPSIS! -- Over 6700 books presented!

Each month, Randy Mayeux presents synopses of two useful, best-selling business books. Randy provides a thorough, comprehensive synopsis handout, and then presents the synopses.People follow along on their handouts while Randy speaks, marking them up with their own notes.

The First Friday Book Synopsis is truly a shared learning experience -- for the lifelong learner in all of us!

{This registration is for the in-person gathering at the Park City Club -- but the presentation is also streamed live on Zoom}.
