BUSINESS BOOK CLUB PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

A business book club that goes beyond reading

Reading a great business book can give you a new idea. The real value comes from knowing what to do with it. BookCLUB brings business owners and leaders together to learn from bestselling business books and discuss how the ideas can be applied in practice.

Each month, a business book is selected by the members, creating a varied programme of topics across business, leadership, personal development, strategy, productivity and growth. You will have the opportunity to:

✔ Discover books selected specifically for their relevance to business and personal development.
✔ Discuss the key ideas with other entrepreneurs and business leaders.
✔ Learn how other business owners interpret and apply the ideas.
✔ Identify practical ideas you can implement in your own business.

Business Ownership

Do you make time to keep learning?

Running a business can leave little time for learning.

You may have a growing list of books you intend to read, podcasts you want to listen to and ideas you want to explore, but the demands of running a business often come first.

You may recognise some of these challenges:

✔ Keep developing your business knowledge but struggle to find the time.

✔ Hear about great business books but rarely get around to reading them.

✔ You enjoy learning from other entrepreneurs and business owners.

✔ You want new ideas around leadership, strategy, growth and personal development.

✔ You would like a community where you can discuss business ideas openly.

Business Freedom

What can you gain from a business BookCLUB?

The right business book can challenge how you think about your business.

It might introduce a different approach to leadership, help you understand your customers differently, change how you think about your time or give you a new strategy for tackling a problem.

BookCLUB gives you a structured way to explore those ideas with other business owners and leaders.

You can:

✔ Broaden your business knowledge.

✔ Develop your leadership and management skills.

✔ Improve your understanding of business growth and strategy.

✔ Take useful ideas from books and apply them to your business.

The aim is not simply to read more books. It is to learn more, think differently and put useful ideas into action.

Don't take it from us

Business coaching can make your dreams possible...

As an architect, we’re not taught anything about business during our years of education. You’re left to figure it out as you go along. After 15 years in business, we realised we still didn’t really know what we were doing. ActionCOACH UK gave us the business knowledge and structure we’d been missing from day one. Since working with them, our turnover has increased by 100%, we have our weekends back, and we no longer have that constant pressure of worrying about getting to the end of the month.

Robert Gilmour, Business Owner, Gilmour Architect

You should definitely hire a business coach, if only for the fact that you have a mentor to bounce ideas off, a clear plan in place, and someone to hold you accountable. In our first year, we increased our business by 35%. It goes to show that the work you put in is worth it. I now have the flexibility to work from home and, most importantly, have the choice to be at home with my family.

David Rosskelly, Business Owner, Tru Office

Finding the right coach has been transformational, and I highly recommend it. I now genuinely feel like a CEO. I have people managing the operational, administrative and client sides of the business, so I’m no longer involved in the day-to-day. I’ve gone from working 80-hour weeks to 40-hour weeks. I’m working smarter, not harder.

Claria Melia, Business Owner, Equitory

There is no way we would have achieved what we have without the coaching and the learning we gained through ActionCOACH UK. It gave us the foundation to grow the business to £50M. We simply would not have been able to achieve that, or grow at the pace we have, without ActionCOACH UK.

Matt Morall, Business Owner, ABEC

When I started, it was just me and a single employee. Within 12 months, my net profit had tripled. Since then, we’ve grown to a team of 12 and gone on to acquire additional companies. It’s a completely different business, and it’s transformed our family life too. None of this would have been possible without ActionCOACH UK.

Louise Seagar, Business Owner, The Inspiration Agency

A COMMUNITY TO BE PART OF

Join an active community of over 2,000 businesses across UK

Business ownership can sometimes feel lonely.

You can spend your days making decisions, managing people, solving problems and thinking about what needs to happen next. There are not always many opportunities to step back and discuss the bigger picture with people who understand what running a business is like.

BookCLUB creates that opportunity.

You will be part of a community of business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders who share an interest in learning and personal development.

You can discuss a book, share an experience, ask a question or hear how someone else has approached a challenge.

The book gives you something to talk about. The community gives you different perspectives.

Frequently asked questions

What is a business BookCLUB?

A business book club is a group where entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders come together to read and discuss books related to business, leadership, personal development and entrepreneurship.

BookCLUB adds a practical element by exploring how the ideas from each book can be applied to real businesses.

How often is a book chosen?

BookCLUB operates around a monthly recommended business book, giving members a regular opportunity to explore a new subject and develop their knowledge.

Who chooses the books?

BookCLUB members have an opportunity to influence the books selected, helping ensure the programme covers topics that are useful and relevant to the community.

Do I need to read the whole book?

The value of BookCLUB comes from engaging with the selected book, but the emphasis is on learning and discussion rather than simply completing a reading target.

Your ActionCOACH UK can provide more information about how your local BookCLUB operates.

Can managers and executives join BookCLUB?

Yes. BookCLUB is not exclusively for business owners. The current programme is also aimed at ambitious executives and managers who want to develop their leadership and business knowledge.
