ANUW Book Club Meeting 2/2: Meet the Author

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Online

Join ANUW for the second meeting of the Summer Book Club, hosted by the Leadership Development Committee. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect, reflect, and build community through reading together. Whether you are an avid reader or simply looking to connect with colleagues in community, we invite you to be part of this engaging summer tradition! This year the Leadership Development committee has selected Winning Without Persuading: A New Framework for Leading with Curiosity and Story Discovery by author Esther Choy, an alumna of Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Esther Choy will join this meeting on September 25 11am-12pm CT via Zoom! Register to get the Zoom link. "Winning Without Persuading" offers a breakthrough approach: leadership communication built on uncovering the stories that change everything. Esther Choy turns conventional business storytelling on its head, showing that the real power of story in leadership isn’t only about spotlighting yourself—it’s also about highlighting the overlooked moments, the unseen truths, and the stories waiting inside others that can elevate teams, energize organizational cultures, and drive transformational outcomes. More information about the author and where you may purchase the book are available here: https://www.leadershipstorylab.com/winning-without-persuading.
