Join us to hear MSLOC Alum Bree Groff discuss her new book “Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously)”
It is a refreshing and unconventional take on the world of work. Perfect for fans of Brené Brown and Cal Newport, Today Was Fun challenges the notion that professionalism means being buttoned up and overworked and provides seven key rules for better days at work and in life.
Bree Groff weaves together personal anecdotes, research, humor, and practical wisdom, outlining a compelling vision of modern workplaces that make people feel human and alive. Groff provides concrete strategies for implementation, from Do Nothing Days for inducing brilliant work to building a Portfolio Life that ensures work remains only one of many fulfilling things we do.
An irreverent guide for a rising generation of leaders, Today Was Fun is poised to spark vital conversations about how we spend our days and to drive real change in organizations―promoting a fuller, more joyful life both in and out of the office.
