Professional Development Book Club
Join us for a LEAP professional development book club session focused on So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport.
In this conversation, we’ll unpack what it really means to build skills that create career leverage and how that shows up in your own work. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll leave with clearer insight into how to develop your strengths and make more intentional career decisions.
Come as you are. Leave with language, connection, and practical ideas for leveling up in your career.
This is a virtual professional book club for nonprofit employees, contractors, and gig workers.

Why the hummingbird?
Beyond vocational awe is a project of Shannon Parris Consulting. Shannon Parris Consulting propels nonprofits by uplifting the people who power them and knows that nonprofits and, by extension, nonprofit workers, exist on the razor's edge of their capacity and resources — much like the hummingbird.
