Episode 86 - Book Circles to Reimagine Organizational Learning ft. Theresa Destrebecq

<p>In this episode, I'm joined by <strong>Theresa Destrebecq</strong>, founder of Emerge Book Circles. She has created a signature learning model that flips traditional training on its head - where content happens at home, and practice, dialogue, and experimentation happen together.</p><p>If you've ever felt frustrated by "shelf development" - all the books read and insights gained but never applied - this conversation will inspire you to rethink how learning truly happens inside organizations.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Episode Summary</strong></p><p>Theresa combines her background in education and coaching to design book circles as leadership laboratories. Instead of delivering expert advice, she creates spaces where participants experiment, role-play, reflect, and integrate ideas into real behavior change. </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>⚡️Takeaways</strong></p><p>✔ Discover how to flip traditional learning by separating content absorption from practice.</p><p>✔ Learn how to design sessions as leadership laboratories, not discussion clubs.</p><p>✔ Understand why behavioral change, not insight, is the real measure of success.</p><p>✔ Explore how a coach-like leadership mindset empowers teams and increases ownership.</p><p>✔ See how small, structured experiments create safer and more sustainable change.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>📚 Books Mentioned</strong></p><p>• The Advice Trap - Michael Bungay Stanier• Think Again - Adam Grant• Defy | The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes - Dr. Sunita Sah• The 6 Types of Working Genius - Patrick M.
