JOIN THE CLUB….

Kane Consulting is pleased to announce our “business book club” – an incubator for the thought leaders of tomorrow.

Each month we’ll read one book that falls under the big picture subjects of entrepreneurism, leadership, marketing, public relations or new media (or whatever else strikes the groups’ collective fancy.)

Then, on the last Tuesday of the month, a group of us will gather at aloft Hotel in Minneapolis where we’ll discuss the book, the big ideas that we learned from it and how we might use those ideas for our own businesses, industries and plans for world domination.

In between salons, we’ll use our KaneCo connections with Author Teleseminars, and the authors themselves, to hook you up with each book’s corresponding author interviews, speaking engagements and other resource material.

The book club is free, and you can come to as many or as few as you like, (you’re on your own for food/beverages though.)

However, in order to make sure that the conversations stay manageable, the size of each monthly salon will be limited to a maximum of 15 attendees (which means you’ll need to RSVP if you plan to attend.)
