Drive Discussion

This week I led a book talk on Daniel Pink's Drive.  I was pleased with the effort of the twenty plus participants.  The book seemed to resonate with everyone.  The conversation was rich and clearly more sessions will be needed.  I scheduled a follow-up session.  One teacher asked if we could have even more meetings because she found the book and the discussion valuable.  Below is the outline I used to facilitate the discussion.
