BookCLUB is not your typical book club—it’s a dynamic blend of group coaching, networking, and personal development tailored for business owners. Picture a monthly gathering on the last Thursday, where like-minded individuals come together for an evening of growth, fun, and great food.😜

We often hear business owners saying they intend to read ‘that book’ or implement ‘that learning’ but never get around to it. With BookCLUB, those unfulfilled promises are a thing of the past! You don’t need to worry if you didn’t get a chance to finish the whole book, even if you only made it one chapter in, you’ll still take away lots of learnings from our group coaching.

BookCLUB is perfect for business owners (of any size business), entrepreneurs and professionals who recognize the importance of advancing their business education and personal development through the art of reading.

BookCLUB meets on the last Thursday of each month, from 6PM – 8:30PM, and is hosted by Business Growth Specialist, Kevin Riley.

So, what’s in it for you?

  • Receive the book of the month carefully chosen to accelerate your personal and business growth.
  • Join a lively room for conversation loaded with some serious banter
  • Participate in a comprehensive book review and accountability session, guiding you on how to apply newfound knowledge in your life and business.
  • Benefit from group coaching led by business growth specialist Kevin Riley.
  • Enjoy a delightful meal (we recommend the fish and chips!) and a refreshing drink

Frequently Asked Questions about BookCLUB

Do I have to read the whole book before I come?

+

Nope! Whether you read one chapter or the whole thing, you’ll still get loads from the discussion and coaching.

The sessions are designed so everyone walks away with value - even if you didn’t have time to open the book.

What kind of books do you read?

+

We pick books that actually move the needle for business owners.

They're usually hand selected by Kevin Riley based on common challenges he's seen whilst providing business coaching to the business owners of Warwickshire.

Think sales, leadership, mindset, scaling, and personal growth. Not academic theory - practical ideas you can use in your business tomorrow. Past books have included:

Never Split the Difference - A great insight into delivering powerful customer service that left BookCLUB reflecting on improving their own customer service.

Systemology - Fascinating book on how your processes and systems within your business can free time for an owner and greater empower your team.

The Introverts Edge - A fantastic book on sales and how the introverts among us can still sell to very high level.

What if I’m not very confident in group discussions?

+

That’s totally fine. There’s no pressure to “perform” or speak up if you don’t want to. Plenty of people come to listen, reflect and take it all in. And if you do want to join the conversation - it’s a supportive, relaxed space to do so.

It's a safe environment where mutual respect feeds conversation. You can speak as much or as little as you'd like.

Is it just for ActionCOACH Warwick clients?

+

Not at all. BookCLUB is open to any business owner or entrepreneur.

It’s a great way to experience the ActionCOACH Warwick community without committing to coaching. Kevin Riley leads the discussion and provides small interpretations into how business owners can apply the insights to their businesses. As such, it's a great way to experience business coaching without the usual cost.

Can I try it before signing up?

+

Absolutely — your first session is completely free. After that, it’s £50 + VAT per month by Direct Debit, with no tie-in.

Just book in, turn up, see what it’s like, and decide from there.

What’s actually included in the membership?

+

Each month you’ll receive:

A handpicked business or personal development book in either hard copy or audible download to listen at home, in your car or out walking the dog. It's up to you.

I’m really busy – is it worth my time?

+

That’s exactly why it exists. BookCLUB gives you structured time away from the day-to-day, where you can reflect, get inspired, and think more strategically about your business - without losing a full workday and recharging the social batteries at the same time.

It’s 2.5 hours once a month on a Thursday evening that pays off all quarter.

Do I need to bring anything?

+

Just yourself. We’ll provide the book, the food, and everything else.

Where exactly is BookCLUB Warwickshire held?

+

The Saxon Mill, Coventry Road, Warwick. It’s easy to get to with free parking on site. Plus, it's a lovely setting - much better than a bland hotel room or Zoom call!

What happens if I can’t make a month?

+

If you are on a Pay-as-you-go membership, You won’t be charged for months you don’t attend.

It’s a flexible rolling membership, not a locked-in contract.

Will I be sold to?

+

No. BookCLUB is a stand-alone event with zero hard selling from ActionCOACH Warwick or any of the attendees.

If you’re curious about other services, we’re happy to chat — but only if you initiate it.

Although we encourage networking, we discourage actively selling your services during the meetings and will only facilitate introductions if both parties consent.
