Book Circle as a Service – A Facilitated Book Circle for Your Organization

Together with wearemovement.se I’m proud to announce the concept Book Circle as a Service.

I now want to make the concept and a set of circles available to more people. There are currently three circles I can run:

You can read more about the format in this Crisp.se blogpost, and get access to the slides here.
