HBA FRANKFURT PRESENTS

HBA Frankfurt Book Club Launch Event

We are rewriting the story of professional community, and you're invited to the opening page. Join us for the launch of the HBA Frankfurt Book Club, our flagship engagement initiative designed to bring leaders across companies and chapters together for bold conversations, deep connection, and career transformation that lasts beyond the meeting room. Our debut read will be Sabine Hutchison's "Beyond the Ladder: A Women's Career Guide to Clarity, Impact & Legacy", a powerful roadmap for crafting careers that break free from traditional trajectories and align with who you truly are. This isn't just another business book - it's a strategic tool for anyone navigating a pivot, stepping into leadership, or mentoring the next generation.
.
You will meet the 'Chapter Champions' and 'Reading Buddies' who will guide this reading journey, dive into the book's first transformative themes, and establish the rhythm for cross-chapter collaboration that turns insights into action. We'll also introduce you to our brand-new Readers' Connect Book Club app, where participants can track their reading, share reflections, and stay connected with reading buddies in one seamless digital experience – without numerous email threads or lost accountability.
.
But that's just the beginning: Following our reading journey, we'll host an exclusive Fireside Chat with author Sabine Hutchison herself, giving readers a rare opportunity to exchange insights, ask burning questions, and engage directly with the voice behind the transformative framework. Whether you're an HBA Frankfurt member, a cross-chapter participant from nearby regions, or a non-member curious about what high-impact professional community looks like, this book club is your strategic lever for 2026. This is where ambitious women show up authentically, challenge conventional career narratives, and leave with clarity, community, and a competitive edge. Let's make this the year we jointly redefine what professional engagement looks like - one conversation, one chapter, one bold career move at a time. Register now to get a discount on the book!
