No matter what business or profession you have chosen the most important asset you have to preserve and develop is your mind. Staying sharp is a continuous and intentional process. It takes conscious effort to maintain a practice of renewal. We have partnered with the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce and Sustainable Connections to offer you an alternative approach to keeping your saw sharp and be part of a continuous learning community in the process.

Join us the third Tuesday of every month from 11am-1pm in the Readings Gallery of Village Books for a fast paced dialogue facilitated by Mike Cook, local business coach and faculty member at WWU. We promise you your time will be well spent and we’ll all want to know what you have learned. Authors DO NOT attend.
