Becoming
A book club for self-improvement
Hosted by Vicki Denunzio, multi-certified Life Coach and Inner Voice Facilitator
A space where book club meets coaching meets intuition
We’re always growing in some way. Releasing the old, becoming something new.
Read, learn, and grow in a positive environment of like-minded individuals.
Join the book club your future self will thank you for!
I’ve been dreaming of a book club like this since I started my coaching practice. For years, I enjoyed reading self-help books. I personally call them self-improvement books because I feel it’s more fitting for what we’re trying to accomplish, grow and be better humans.
I fell in love with self-improvement books during a difficult time in my life when I was overcome with anxiety. These books helped me understand what was going on in my mind and gave me the knowledge and tools to pull myself out of the anxiety and learn to manage it.
My vision for this book club is a safe space where we grow together through books, support, encouragement, inspiration, accountability, and a shit ton of fun! I hope you’ll join me.
What to expect
Monthly meetings - The meetings will be 2 hours and limited to 10 people. During the first hour we’ll discuss the book. The second hour will be for hot-seat coaching from me on a topic related to the book.
Hot-seat coaching or inner voicing - An opportunity to receive coaching or connect with your Inner Voice.
Community - A private community on Google Spaces to connect with other like-minded individuals.
Reading plan - Each month I’ll share a weekly reading plan for the book to help keep you focused and accountable and to keep the group together. This plan will align with the weekly self-coaching prompts.
Weekly self-coaching prompts - Each week I’ll share self-coaching prompts related to the book.
Accountability and inspiration - A group of folks ready to inspire you, help hold you accountable, and celebrate your growth and wins!
Growth - Read the books, reflect on the messages, take action, learn from others, experience growth however that looks for you.
Safe space - A space to show up however you choose whether you’re a wallflower or a firecracker. The expectation is members will respect the book club etiquette and always choose kindness.
Short, impactful reads - Book choices will be kept at about 300 pages or less. My hope is this is a reasonable read over the course of a month and won’t impact your schedule too much. Book club members are responsible for getting access to the book choice for the month.

This book club is not for
Negativity.
Disagreement can contribute to valuable discussion and insights AND it can also take away from the goal, which is to keep the conversation focused on the topic or area of growth. Both can be true. I want this book club to focus on the latter. We can’t grow if we’re complaining.
If you feel the book topic or area of growth doesn’t resonate with you, you can choose not to participate in the group discussion or attend the meeting.
We will not be critiquing the authour or the authour’s writing.
However, if you feel your comments will add value, please do your best to keep the critique minimal, helpful, and something that moves the conversation forward.

Questions & Answers
-
You’re not just paying for a book club. You’re paying for opportunity. Opportunity to invest in yourself. Opportunity to learn and grow. Opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals. Opportunity to be coached by a professional coach or connect with your Inner Voice. Opportunity to bask in and soak up positive vibes and energy.
Also, with “regular” book clubs, you likely pay to be part of it by purchasing a bottle of wine or food to bring to the host’s house.
With this one, instead of buying food or wine for others, you’re investing in yourself. And you’re worth it!
