With gratitude and optimism, we are excited to begin a new year of creating thought-provoking programs for your teams and organizations. While people continue to operate in home offices and remain physically distanced, our mission of “infusing ideas everywhere” takes on new meaning!
Through HBE ENGAGE video call programs, we’re now able to develop engaging events with authors for groups around the world. And often, we can deliver these programs with less planning time than in-person events that depend upon the author’s travel schedule. See what authors and books we’re working with now to get ideas for programs for your organization this quarter.
Planning ahead for spring? So are we! Our latest Know Ahead List has been curated with topics that are top of mind for organizations promoting an inclusive, high-performing workplace culture. Take a peek at a few of the great new books coming out soon.
Hooks Book Events continues our commitment to supporting our local community. Your bulk book orders through us will be fulfilled by one of our independent book store partners. And, a portion of your purchase goes towards producing events and purchasing books for local DC students.
Authors and Topics to Kick Off the New Year
Leadership, innovation, codebreaking, ethics, artificial intelligence, branding, and bringing joy to work — these are the themes of books selected by our clients to kick off programs in their organizations for 2021!
ENGAGE video calls for these books can be readily scheduled. Click on the titles below to learn more about the books, and contact Perry for more information on bringing these authors to your organization today.
Spring Ideas for Stimulating Conversations in 2021
We have curated a selection of new books coming out this spring to stimulate conversations, foster connections, and promote inclusive workplace culture. Through HBE ENGAGE video calls with the authors, everyone in your organization can participate in the experience from wherever they may be working.
